”An OpenAI team transcribed more than one million hours of YouTube videos, the people said. The team included Greg Brockman, OpenAI’s president, who personally helped collect the videos”
”At Meta, managers, lawyers and engineers last year discussed buying the publishing house Simon & Schuster to procure long works”

LinkedIn is the new Twitter
Humblebrags mixed with influencer posts and how-to threads with an occasional sprinkle of borrowed TikToks and Reels culminating in deep insights with AI-generated illustrated images.
”Spatial videos filmed at 30fps in 1080p take up around 130MB of storage space for one minute of video”

”But the catch is that no one can see the posts.
You can publish as many posts as you like. The app even lets you add photos to your posts as well. But you’re sending those posts into the void. Developer Pat Nakajima said on Threads that no post leaves your device and all likes are fake.”
Mastodon has a bit larger limits:
Atproto has a limit of 1MB for all images (and the size is 2000x2000).
”Facebook “secretly signed Whitelist and Data sharing agreements” with Netflix, along with “dozens” of other third-party app developers…
…to access, among other things, Facebook users' “messaging app and non-app friends.
…allowed Netflix programmatic access to Facebook’s users' private message inboxes, in exchange for which Netflix would “provide to FB a written report every two weeks that shows daily counts of recommendation sends and recipient clicks by interface, initiation surface, and/or implementation variant (e.g., Facebook vs. non-Facebook recommendation recipients).”
Protocols are hard to understand. The email is Gmail. The Internet is a browser or access to websites.
Facebook, IG, Snap, and even Bluesky, are not protocols but social network (products).
There’s no established language for Nostr.
It does not make sense to talk about Damus Nostr or Nostur Nostr.
Language matters but how to call a community/group in Nostr or the action you’re doing? Protocols should fade into the background if they are successful.
Nostr needs a new sovereign term for the future of decentralised apps and media that defines the category and becomes the new xerox and google that defines the new way.
”Bluesky is basically abstracting out each layer of a social media service and allowing anyone to provide alternatives at each layer…
It creates a system that feels as simple and comprehensive as a centralized system, but which is actually decentralized, and enables anyone else to jump in and provide additional services and features at each layer.”
I’m leaning toward this for the hashed phone number that you could optionally share on your profile so that damus could automatically find all your friends. It would really hard to build a rainbow table for this with a high argon2 security parameter.
What do you think nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z, nostr:npub1n0sturny6w9zn2wwexju3m6asu7zh7jnv2jt2kx6tlmfhs7thq0qnflahe, any other mobile nostr devs ? Should we get a NIP going ? nostr:note1q8kxrrtlat9ezh6evwnqce4mhcqnt6xm5k5vn5xqwmmpeuqa0xusuzl6nc
Since we're trying to get rid of phone numbers and they’re becoming obsolete with IP calls etc. could it be also an email address or other identification string item?
”Bitkey, as a self-custodial solution, sits somewhere between a stand-alone Tapsigner and a fully-open, interoperable multisig wallet. It does better than the stand-alone Tapsigner in some areas (e.g. 2-of-3 security), while poorer in other areas (e.g. not interoperable; tightly coupled to Block as things stand).”
Funny I had this exact same conversation with nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn just a couple days ago.
I think the only solution is NIP-05 relay lists. It needs to be out of band. Those have their own issues since most users won’t run their own web server.
One-page linktr.ee / https://about.me/ type of services are abundantly available if the nip-05 file could be relaxed to be hosted on more easily accessible environments.
”in 2016, the task force created new software that could "be installed on iOS and Android that intercept traffic for specific sub-domains, allowing us to read what would otherwise be encrypted traffic so we can measure in-app usage (i.e. specific actions that people are performing in the app, rather than just overall app visitation). This is a 'man-in-the-middle approach,'" the email said.
These so-called "kits" created a path for Onavo to redirect and decrypt user traffic by effectively impersonating the servers of Snapchat, and later YouTube and Amazon, according to an unsealed letter to the court from the advertiser plaintiffs. Facebook did this through a process called secure sockets layer (SSL) bumping, the letter claimed.”
