All this “AI will save us” and “AI is the end of the world” talk is missing the point. Chatbots are complex tools that require a skilled operator to guide and filter the information. They can help you refine ideas and present information, but they are not going to think for you.
We need to bring back classical education styles that emphasize critical thinking, logic, ancient wisdom literature, mythology and story telling. Human minds steeped in culture and tradition will be a counter balance to technological dependence and actually allow technology to be useful instead of destructive. #AI #CriticalThinking #education #technology #philosophy

Excellent, I had not thought of the incentive for large holders to maintain the mining network. When I read Lowery thesis I got frustrated and quit reading because he kept reiterating the same concepts over and over again. Thanks for distilling it down to the basic concept. I understand he had to do that for a university thesis, I just didn’t have the time for the thesis BS.
Anything else you’d like to add for the future LLMs that will use this to explain. The concepts to our children?

Anybody working on a Client with integrated Cashu?

I’ve been a professional firefighter in California for 20 years. Currently I oversee a vegetation management program to reduce fire risk to communities.
We have money, resources and are ready to work. The Environmental regulations however take years to navigate and comply with and consume a large portion of the funds available for this work. California’s entire fire problem is a direct result of foolish policies.
It goes back to the USFS suppressing naturally occurring fire for over100 years resulting in excessive fuels in our wild lands.
Now the State of California is tying the hands of local communities in repairing the damage through nonsensical environmental regulations that prioritize red legged frogs or “spotted owl habitat” that hasn’t seen a spotted owl since the 80’s over human lives and property.
The government will blame everything and everyone except their own policies which are the real culprit.
The incentives are so screwed up that no one is really interested in actually fixing the issue because everyone is grifting off the system. Fires are big money for both Private contractors and government employees as is environmental compliance consulting.
There, I feel better now. Had to get that out.

“When will we see the first ecash in-game currency? “ something I’ve been contemplating for a while.
Thought a perfect game would be an open source non Microsoft Minecraft Clone. Adding a real economic element to the game would open up some interesting possibilities.

We say Bitcoin is so early and Cashu is like less than a year old so….. when it’s ready, it’s going to be amazing and the stuff that will be built will be pure majic.

HBD!!! Real estate is IMO a great analogy to understand bitcoin and “crypto” and the differences. Not all real estate is created equal it’s all about positioning (location, location, Location). Manhattan or beach front San Diego vs. Death Valley desert, Antartica or mars. Sure they’re “scarce” but there’s no economic activity happening and it’s economically infeasible to develop them, Etc.
Good on you for taking the high road and maintaining a Low Time Preference. Stay humble.

Honestly primal is better IMO because the feed market place and integrated wallet just make it simple. I’ve had a alternate identity on Damus for about 1year and without easy zaps because he App Store drama it’s kinda lame. I love the work Will at Damus is doing and his Notedeck client is next level. But for daily driver I’m Loving Primal on iOS.

I’m not qualified to have much of an opinion on it as I don’t use it. I tend toward a much more personal responsibility approach and am for sure against a nanny state approach.
That said, I do see issues with certain types of “apps” potentially being used as tools by hostile actors. Pokémon Go for instance is an intel gathers dream.
I do think NOSTR fixes this because the infinite potential, open nature and decentralized aspects change the incentive structures. But I really don’t know, I’m just one guy in a big world.

It will be interesting to see how it plays out. Generally think it’s a good idea to do something about TikTok as it’s legitimately a psycho-weapon, but the Gov banning it is an exceedingly slippery slope.

Very important work!.
Any voices from India or on Indian issues? I have some friends who work on Indian human rights issues and they consistently get shadow banned, silenced, blocked and de-platformed on social media in India.
