#NosVegas — you know the vibes.

This is the week where Sin City turns into Simp City.

People have been predicting doom for Twitter for whole 2 years. Some left (mostly for Threads) but most stayed. Twitter is doing fine. Its biggest threat is probably substack and bluesky, but not fedi, and definitely not nostr.

Similarly bitcoin is absolutely no threat to USD or even EUR (or any real money one can use to buy food and pay bills).

It's bizarre to see so many clever people sniffing their own farts believing that "centralized platforms will be destroyed by decentralized magic".

“MindsEye,” a game created by a former lead developer of GTA, just dropped a new gameplay trailer 👀🔥

Lmao his hat reads “Make Bitcoin Great Again” 🤣

I started calling X, “The Walmart of social media” because I don’t go in unless I have to, the clientele tracks about the same and it’s esthetically ugly to my eyes.

The scariest dystopia I can imagine is one that seems inevitable: Neuralink-like device connected to AIs so that your thoughts become prompts, and the subsequent thoughts, ideas and mental images are indistinguisable from AI responses.

It's bad enough knowing that all "your" thoughts are downstream of everything you've ever perceived or interacted with - including the hypnotic sludge from overtly manipulative algorithms. The only thing worse is being unable to discern which thoughts are "yours" and which are API responses from MegaCorp's AI servers.

Everyday I use #nostr across Amethyst, Primal, Damus and Coracle on my iPhone, iPad, Samsung phone and MacBook.

It’s incredible that I can extend my digital self-agency independently and across all of these platforms, devices and apps.

Only with #nostr

It is risky to not use Nostr as a creator

Every time I listen to someone talk about how amazing psychedelics are, they always show that they are still fucked in the head. The people I know irl who have taken psychedelics for multiple years are still just as immature, impulsive, and emotionally unstable as the day I first met them. But they swear by it and say that it’s a life changing “journey.”

Consider the fact that the government used substances like these to conduct mind control experiments on the public and it should seem obvious that this is all a psyop. Also consider that they always tell you that you need to set an intention for what you will gain out of the experience or it’ll just be a hallucination. Setting an intention is just a placebo effect lmao. You are not a shaman, you work at an Amazon warehouse 😂

Even the podcasters who talk about psychedelics will comment that they’re still fucked in the head but that you should do it anyway. Huh? 🤣
