People will save in the thing that appreciates and spend the thing depreciates regardless of what the whitepaper says.
Save bitcoin and spend dollars is still the more rational economic decision. That doesn’t somehow devalue bitcoin.
“It is encouraging to find that others have come to similar conclusions, but this does not make your conclusions more truthful. It just makes you more comfortable.”…. that’s a lovely way to put it.
Stop, thief! 🚔👮♂️
When information was scarce, you trusted it implicitly and all of it was valuable. When it's infinite, how does one define trust and value? It seems as though value becomes less about possession of information and more about finding the right information at the right time.
I think about this in regards to nostr relays. It's not the job of a relay to store so much as it is to route. Why would someone want to be the sole source of information unless their intention was to exert control?
I mean, throw ego and instant gratification into the mix and you have a potent mix.
Maybe our brains are just fried. We crave simplicity and nostalgia is a strong emotion. Maybe that's what the ghibli thing is really tapping into.
"This is what I fear most about AI.... An oversupply that satiates us at a cultural level, until we become divorced from the semantic meaning and see only the cheap bones of its structure. Once exposed, it’s a thing you have no relation to, really. Just pixels. Just syllables. In some order, yes. But who cares?”

Yes! Jevon’s paradox applied to the labor market. We have many reasons to be optimistic about the future of software.
Oh interesting, so exploring audio signatures? combined with other methods?
What types of things were you working on? Copyright and IP? Fraud?
You are correct, anyone can sign anything. Early solutions will look more like an attestation and reputation model. Trust would be built around who created or endorsed the image rather than technical properties of the image itself.
Reputation and trust, that’s the nostr use case.
OpenAI image generator is not a gimmick, it’s a threat. Soon everyone will see why we need signatures to trust anything online.
This took me 15 seconds to create. Of course it’s not perfect, but it will be soon. Put ”Odell Capitulates” as the headline and it doesn’t even matter. Shit is going to get weird.
Sure, I get that. Been running text to image diffusion models on local hardware for a while. This is about the accuracy, specificity, and quality. It’s not a gimmick, it’s a threat… it’s also fun as hell.
Have you played around with it? This is something else, totally next level in terms of what you can do with it. Mind blowing really. It’s not a data grab. They are already getting enough personal data from chat.
There are MCP clients you can use for Linux

You can use also use any open source model that supports tools. Would recommend llama 3.2 served via ollama
Imagine the smartest developers you know, operating at the boundaries of their knowledge - for years, decades. Without access to new tools and sources of knowledge, they eventually plateau - maybe move into management. Pick up a hobby or two. Then one day, they are gifted with a new tool - to allow them to push themselves further, to ask the questions no single person has all the answers to. To seek solutions to the problems they've been exposed to their entire lives.
They’ve seen enough verbose, redundant, and awful code in their time - all written by other humans - to know the difference between elegant, functional, and trash. They remain unfazed and they proceed unleashed.
The prevailing notion that likes and follower count are favored by status seeking morons who have no concept of algorithms and heuristics is frustrating and counterproductive.
Many here claim to be interested in freedom while themselves being openly intolerant of other’s opinions.
