Saying this is AI made is a publicity stunt, and they pretty much say this outright on their website. In the same way that developers saying something is vibe coded are either underestimating their own skill involved or overestimating the value of what the ai produced.
この状況を受け「AIはあくまでクリエイターの創作活動のための補助ツール」という考え、すなわち”サポーティブAI”の発想を基底とし、 AIを使用する際の課題をクリアしながら、その性能を正しい用途で使用する形で、 AI技術に向き合っていく必要性が出てきていると考えました。
クリエイターにとってのAIの有用性は、下記の2つに大別できると考えています。
アニメ現場における人材不足や業務時間の肥大化の原因となっている、膨大な作業を少しでも軽減させることを目標とする『効率化』
手書きやCGといった既存の技術では実現が難しかった『新しい表現の確立』
Not gonna translate the whole thing but basically:
They believe that AI should be used as a tool to enhance what already skilled creatives can do.
Their claims are primarily that AI can help slightly lighten their workloads (similar to what it can help skilled developers with), and create new forms of expression that are hard to do with traditional animation and traditional CGI.
キャラクター：CLIP STUDIO PAINTでの全手書き。 　
背景：撮影した写真をAIでアニメ背景風に変換。その後美術スタッフによるレタッチ。 　
ロゴ：Adobe Illustratorでの全手書き。 　
特効：Adobe Photoshop、Adobe After Effectsでの処理。
The characters are hand drawn using clip studio paint
The backgrounds are made using an ai tool that converts a picture to a drawing (this is not really new, has been done for decades, it just used to take longer, and is one of the things where AI CAN help)
The logo they made in adobe illustrator
The CGI/effects are done in Photoshop and after effects.
I don't think it's fair (nor true) to say that this is 95% done by AI.

Any query that works on nostr, for open, non encrypted data, will work on Eve for your Closed Community Networks' specific content, no matter how complex the query, if it can be done on public nostr relays, it can be done on your private Eve Relay (and there will also be more complex queries supported in the future, such as negative queries).

2025-04-11 12:02:08

- reply

Running your own relay shouldn't be complicated. Nostr is a very simple protocol (which is a good thing), and you can just embed the relay into the application (as I'm doing with Eve).
The relay then fetches encrypted events encrypted with the CCN key (and soon using MLS, for the added security), and stores them into a database on the user's device, users don't have to know anything about that, they just know that when they open Eve, everything they see is only the content in their closed community network!

I think the problem with this being AI based is that predictability and replicability are basically non-existent, and that realistically speaking most people's machines would not be able to reliably generate those images.
also, robohash works because it's simple, any sha256 can easily map to an image, I'm not sure how you could map any pubkey into an embedding vector without also risking the generation of some very unsavory content

Update on the #mit-bitcoin-hackathon #bitcoindev mailing list project
everything is working mostly
- users can see messages in mailing lists
- can subscribe to multiple mailing lists
- can answer to threads from an email client
- threads support simple markdown, images and non english characters
what's not working right now:
- creating new threads from an email client (will finish this today)
- adding attachments from an email client and linking them to the reply in nostr (I will not be finishing this before the hackathon ends)
(exmple shown from thunderbird, works on any email client that supports IMAP and SMTP)

update:
- looking pretty good, messages are shown in thunderbird, including multiple layers of nesting
- the server mostly seems to be stable
- naturally, we can read the messages
now working on:
- proper message parsing for anything other than 7bit ascii
- basic markdown to html, to allow basic formatting
- SMTP to allow users to reply via an email client, not just via nostr

I decided to join the MIT Bitcoin Hackathon, and the project I'm working on is a nostr to IMAP bridge (and depending on time, SMTP bridge too), in light of what happened recently with the bitcoin devs mailinglist on google groups
this is a regular nostr event (kind 11), being pulled up inside thunderbird (and it will work with any email client)

What challenges do you think your average person has when using nostr compared to any other tool?

2025-03-17 19:39:53

- reply

It depends on the tool you use.
With closed community networks, nostr acts only as a way to send data and as a standardized way to encode information.
Closed Community Networks allow you to be as private as possible, and allow that same old lady at your church to virtually join her parish's network and interact closely only with those people, and no one else.
Anyone who isn't in her church will not be able to see anything she shares because as far as they're concerned she doesn't even use nostr and doesn't have a public profile!

I don't have anything written out, but this is how it works in Eve (my community building platform):
- each community is actually a nostr public private key pair
- users run their own relay (built in to the application)
- when they publish a note, it gets saved first to their local relay, then it gets encrypted (using nip44) and published to a bunch of relays, and using a PoW specified by the community
- the relays of other members of the community pull automatically any note sent to the pubkey of the community, and if it has enough PoW (to prevent DoS), attempt to decrypt it, and if it can be decrypted, they store it in their own relay
this has some issues right now:
- all members of the community have full access
- there's no way to kick anyone out
- every member will know the private key of the community
- a compromised key results in the whole community being compromised
I'm currently in the process (almost done) of rewriting this to use MLS instead of just having one key for the whole community, which will solve all the issues I outlined, but the current way it works is perfectly fine if those cons are reasonable for your use case

The solution is, in my opinion, neither of those options, it's relay-agnostic closed community networks that operate independently of any specific relay infrastructure, which is what I'm building :)
You need:
- **Community identity persistence** across any relay infrastructure (if ALL relays go down you as the user should still be able to access your community's data)
- **Full ownership transfer** (no relay should own ANY data about your community)
- **Multi-relay presence** for redundancy and censorship resistance
- **Encrypted communication** for communities (relays shouldn't know they're handling any particular community's data, as all the data should be encrypted and readable only by members invited to the community)

- bolt08 https://github.com/lightning/bolts/blob/master/08-transport.md
- https://www.bolt11.org/ paste in an invoice and look at how it works
bolt12 is only an **additional** privacy layer to what's already provided by the specification I linked you

there IS **NO** lightning network TX. It does not exist.
you **can** cryptographically verify that intermediate nodes can't determine the recipient's identity, but there is NO public ledger of all the transactions.
there's no obscurity or hope, I recommend you to actually read about how lightning works, because you seem to have many misunderstandings

2025-01-25 23:07:07

- reply

First of all, he DID link the video, and second, I believe that you have a bit of a misunderstanding about how Lightning Network works. There truly is no such thing as a "Lightning transaction" in the traditional sense. On the Lightning Network, the only transactions that exist on the timechain are those to open and close channels. With bolt11, an invoice consists of a routing path (similar to TOR's onion, but technically slightly different), and payment information that is passed through that path. The actual "sending" of bitcoin happens through updating channel states between participants, which are essentially just promises backed by on-chain bitcoin in the channel. When you use bolt11 on Lightning Network, each hop in the routing path only knows its immediate predecessor and successor - they have no idea about the payment's origin or final destination, unless an attacker controlled all the nodes between you and the recipient of a payment they would have no way of knowing who you are sending money to, even if they were to track each payment at the packet level it would be extremely hard to figure out who the final payment goes to.
Also, with bolt12 route blinding lets the recipient hide their node identity from the sender, this means neither party needs to fully trust the other or reveal their network position.

to me the most compelling evidence he showed was the video where the person at chainalysis explained how they can trace monero transactions. the same thing cannot be done with lightning (especially bolt12) because there's no single source of truth

Hey Nostriches! 👋
Just dropped something cool in beta that I think you'll like - https://npub.email. It's basically long-form DMs for Nostr, but with a twist - you can actually bridge it with regular email.
With npub.email you can:
- Write long-form "Letters" (similar to email) to other nostr users
- Get an unlimited amount of your own alias@npub.email addresses to receive email right on your nostr account. Use it anywhere standard email is accepted.
- Send some sats along with your Letters if you're feeling generous (we call this Stamps)
If you want to check out the code or contribute, it's all here: https://git.arx-ccn.com/Arx/npub.email
This is the first of many things that we (the Arx team) will release to - stay tuned for our full Closed Community Networks solution dropping in early 2025! Since it's beta, your feedback would really help shape where we take this!
This nostr app is like a stamp of honor you can proudly display to the outside world.
Help grow and build the nostr community - and get your fam ready for our next launch of Eve - a full closed community network solution!
Always down for feedback and ideas.

The note above is why people don't like this feature, but that being said to me it's personally essential. I typo all the time and rewrite what I said to fix typos all the time. The original note is still visible and any good client should implement a way to see it (like amethyst does), then there isn't a problem. The way that element displays it (you can see the history with all the diffs) is good enough for every single use case in my opinion.

if you run your own inbox relay locally, you can get notifications in literally the speed of a network packet from the sender (plus maybe a few microseconds for processing) with this, with anything else it has to go through a notification service, which means at best you get 2 packets speed (and usually more).
If you don't run it locally, it's the time it takes the sender to send a network packet to your inbox relay (plus a few ms) + your ping to your inbox relay.
Literally nothing can beat this, assuming perfect code naturally

yep, there will be no way to get the emoji back from the hash, but you can always recover the account if you have the emoji and as for randomness, correct, if someone knows that you use an emoji key they "only" have to try all the possible emoji instead of all the possible words in the wordlist. it's a compromise for sure, but it's a fine one for the average person (and if you need more security, just don't use this system!)

This issue goes way beyond who you vote for or where you get your news. Whether you're ride-or-die for Trump or Kamala's biggest fan, whether you're glued to CNN or binge-watching Daily Wire, the threat's the same for everyone.
It's the danger of being able to send a public message, pretending to be someone you're not, and your followers not being able to know it's actually you.
Sure, maybe ODELL's war prediction is a bit over the top (though let's be real, in today's world, who knows?), but the potential for trashing someone's reputation or a brand's image? That's 100% legit and seriously concerning.

what if he tweeted from @POTUS? You would see POTUS as the person who tweeted it, and it would link to the REAL profile.

> 1.) He put Elon Musk prior to the quote
What if he didn't?
> 3.) Who owns America? Nobody sees that and thinks it’s an official corp announcing something that could incite a war. If you saw something online “Iran says I will destroy Florida” and it had the “official” Iran Handle, wouldn’t you look to see who from Iran is saying that? If not, you’re, proverbially, a moron.
What if he tweeted from the POTUS account? X doesn't have any signatures so it doesn't have a way to validate whether the real POTUS account sent the tweet.

Even if you agree with musk this is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS and definitely something that nostr solves

I've been thinking about how we talk about Nostr...
Maybe we need to switch up our language a bit when explaining Nostr to the world.
We're not really "on Nostr" like it's some monolithic platform. We're using apps that implement the Nostr standard. Naturally everyone already on nostr knows that, but newcomers might not, so this is a tiny distinction, but it might click better for newbies.
There's no single "Nostr platform" where all content lives. Each Nostr app shows kinds of content stuff. It's more like a networking protocol than a platform - just a standard way of communicating.
Nostr isn't trying to be:
- A Twitter clone, but it can do short posts (kind 1)
- A Medium replacement, but it handles long-form markdown (kind 30023)
- Twitch 2.0, but it can stream RTMP (kind 30311)
- YouTube's successor, but it can share videos (kind 34235)
Nostr is the protocol powering all these possibilities. It's not the app, it's what makes the apps work.
Maybe we should describe Nostr as a decentralized, secure protocol for sharing identity and content. It gives control back to users, not some faceless "platform".
Just a random thought dump. What do you think, nostriches? #nostriches #nostr

I love what the Tuttle Twins are trying to do and i've shown the series to young members of my family as well. Honestly the series is better education for kids than what you get at most schools nowadays.

I agree up to a certain point, learning basic grammar is always a good idea but beyond that you'll pick up anything by listening and eventually after a while talking with people.

That's a message left in a Closed Community Network, for CCN members, the content is perfectly legible and accessible, but for those outside it just looks like a bunch of hex digits
In this case that's a simple note with a simple text message, but it could be anything, it could be a message in a forum, it could be a recipe, it could be their move in a super-secret chess game, heck it could be a plan to take over the world 😛.
Within the CCN, the sender's identity is transparent to all members. To outsiders, though, it's merely a solitary post from a random npub that will never publish again.
Members of the CCN also don't care if the message gets deleted in the relay because their private relay maintains a copy of all CCN content.
Outsiders don't know how many members a CCN has, all they can know is that there is an event happening in a specific CCN, in this case 8c268cfe-7db2-11ef-803e-98fc84e474e0, but this note doesn't have to be published anywhere specific, since the CCN maintains an association between its members and the relays they post to (similar to NIP-65 but only accessible to CCN members).
If you have any questions feel free to ask!

I know that this may look like complete gibberish posted by a new npub that will never interact with nostr again as far as the network is concerned, but it might be one of the most important notes in a while 😉

Also, one point that's not brought up often is that ancient african societies, like their european counterparts, engaged extensively in free trade, which contributed to their prosperity. The region's economic decline largely began when many of these societies shifted away from trade-based systems and adopted forms of proto-proto-communism.

Honestly I've come to understand that when many people say capitalism they just mean "thing I don't like". Their indoctrination has made that association between "capitalism" and "bad" and so everything they don't like is capitalism's fault.

As far as IP protection goes, it's not my goal to compete with TOR or even VPNs, I would say that the user is responsible for that (tho in the future if there is a lot of demand I may change my mind).
All the code will always be fully available and licensed under AGPL3 but this is definitely a company, and we will charge users a license fee to use it, similar to the model that FUTO apps use

You're right to be angry. The school has clearly failed your sister. Their harsh communication and exclusionary practices are inappropriate for 10-year-olds. This kind of treatment can crush a child's enthusiasm and self-esteem.
Keep supporting your sister emotionally and reminding her that the school's failings aren't her fault; help her practice for the orchestra at home for example.
And as soon as the option for homeschooling becomes available take it because the indoctrination system needs to crash down

Have you thought about using gift wrapping (NIP-59) to encrypt and sign the nsecs for each of your anon accounts, as well as the npubs of your followers?
That way you don't need an export function, just decrypt the message with your real nostr account (or one you use only for this purpose if extremely paranoid) and you have access to everything.
Use Nostr!

Government can only ever do three things, neither of which ever solves any problem:
- Make something illegal
- Attack someone
- Print money
And usually if one doesn't work they'll try the other two, just in case. And when that doesn't work it's due to how evil the opposition is, they had their hands tied, duh.

People can't afford to live because of inflation, there is only one solution: LET'S PRINT MONEY.
People aren't having kids because they're disillusioned with the state of the world, so there is only one solution: LET'S PRINT MONEY.

Also I'm not one for involving government into people's speech since I think that's a dangerous rethoric (I'm very much a free speech maximalist) but I'm totally for suing all of those completely irresponsible CEOs that don't understand anything about technology and may discourage the next big programmer from getting started on their careers

Appendix G: zap tag on other events
When an event includes one or more zap tags, clients wishing to zap it SHOULD calculate the lnurl pay request based on the tags value instead of the event author's profile field. The tag's second argument is the hex string of the receiver's pub key and the third argument is the relay to download the receiver's metadata (Kind-0). An optional fourth parameter specifies the weight (a generalization of a percentage) assigned to the respective receiver. Clients should parse all weights, calculate a sum, and then a percentage to each receiver. If weights are not present, CLIENTS should equally divide the zap amount to all receivers. If weights are only partially present, receivers without a weight should not be zapped (weight = 0).
