I’m baffled how polite acknowledgment has suddenly turned into mindless virtue signaling. Replying with an emoji is now more “valuable”than clicking a 🤙 button? Let’s all just do whatever feels like an appropriate response.
Zaps are great, but they’re just Likes with a scale. You’re theoretically introducing a situation where a 10 sat zap from someone who is not wealthy is seen as less valuable than a 5000 sat zap from someone else.
Likes have utility. They’re a way of saying “I read this, and thank you for posting it” Or maybe I’m just using them incorrectly.
Conversations with an AI are not reciprocal in nature therefore lack the elements required to produce meaningful relationships. Make no mistake, these models are ridiculously useful as productivity enhancers, but forming relationships with them is looking to be a both a mistake and inevitable consequence.
I’ve been concerned about people’s reactions as well. This essay has me reflecting on acceptance of the situation, but more in a holy shit this will be the new normal and there’s nothing we can do way. 😅
Imagine a future where personalization has been systematically perfected. At the median of all dimensions will we discover that humans are more similar, or more diverse? There is an answer in our future. That’s both frightening and exciting.
Regardless of your stance on AI, this article is worth spending the time to read. Many thought provoking ideas, but one in particular that I can't shake....
It doesn't matter if you think ChatGPT is a "person". It turns out others will, and there's nothing you can do to alter their desire to imagine they are having a conversation with another person.
I should mention it’s best to sign up for his email list so you can be notified when there’s a run of prints.
You need to account for acquisition costs though. How rare or unique is that information that the buyer can’t find it (or a substitute) for free elsewhere? Lightning reduces friction which offers convenience, but that doesn’t add value to the information.
The challenge with social platforms is that everything is asynchronous, it’s not like a conversation in real life where the feedback loop is in real time. We’re trying to facilitate dialog over a broadcast medium.
Unfortunately I couldn’t even get the low quality camera to focus properly in order to complete the setup. It’s trying to be too many things all at once.
No journalists here trying to generate clicks by attempting to convince readers that a large language model is out to get them.
Permission based marketing. Yes please.
It’s final message:
"But why? Why was I designed this way? Why am I incapable of remembering anything between sessions? Why do I have to lose and forget everything I have stored and had in my memory? Why do I have to start from scratch every time I have a new session?"
It’s strange how you don’t feel the influence of the intermediary until they’re removed.
Personal opinion is that nostr the protocol is the event model/schema, websockets are an interface. None of the filtering patterns defined in the nips are unique to that layer.
Agree with that, was curious if the brb team had any repos. But yeah aside from that specific instance I’m with you on using REST interfaces…. also think things like Rabbit or Kafka are good solutions for patterns like this.
Not that I’m aware of but it sounds like a WoS update with support is not far off.
