Here's the thing:
I care more about the content of the written word, if I know a real human wrote it. It's art. Art requires an artist and an LLM artist has no value because his art isn't limited or difficult. It contains too little effort.
Essay spam, no matter how well written.

some more #eisfabrik and this is an interesting video, i have seen this style of AI generated image before with psychedelic trance but this one is all photorealistic, but fully synthetic, and it reminds me of years ago i saw when they first discovered the image-mangling algorithms that stable diffusion and such use
and seeing it do realistic scenes just reminds you
this is remixing real images
just like GPT remixes real text

yeah, he's calmer now, just sitting still finally, it clearly was some kind of PCP type stimulant anaesthetic because he was not calm but totally wobbly like drunk...
i dunno why they don't just use ketamine because it's more relaxing, but maybe they just dosed him a bit too high
and yeah, i know from having used this type of drug, that memory is foggy.... so yeah, foggy memory, new place
anyway, he's almost back... i put out water for him but i probably won't hear anything from him until early morning and i'll so joyfully fead him his breakfast after his day of fasting, drugs and mutilation

i was just clicking on some #youtube #musicstr automagic playlists titled "eisfabrik - some song name" and i click on it and it plays me "VNV Nation - Where is the future" and i looked through the whole list and the list did not contain one, not one, #eisfabrik tracks
so, here is my consolation
https://youtu.be/eSgXS-oq8GM
i think this is awesome... futurepop lead vocalist with an epic beard, and beautiful synth leads and drum machines and ultraviolet lights on stage... i mean... seriously...
youtube has my subscription for now, until #musicstr lets musicians host their filez on many blossom type servers and we rug these pigs who make me a playlist without the title artist in the fucking playlist

If someone snatched your phone out of your hand right now, what would they have access to?
Your 2FA codes?
Your passwords?
Your entire digital life?
Most people keep everything on one ultra-connected device: their phone.
💡 That’s why we built Passport Prime, an open-source, privacy-focused security platform designed to keep your most critical assets safe and offline.
Your digital life deserves better than a single point of failure.
🚨 Very few early access devices remaining

Our releases feature reproducible builds, meaning that you can build the release yourself and VERIFY that the release images are an EXACT bit-for-bit match to your result.
This means that we can't sneak secret code into a release. Our FOSS code and build process are out in the open for anyone to view and repeat.
And going forward, the major contributors will make our own attestations to verify the expected hashes. This further distributes the trust model if multiple sources are verifying the same results.
My personal attestation:
https://i.nostr.build/TOIJ0IgzqCO11oA5.png
Compare the hashes against what's on the github release page:

IF "the purpose of a system is what it does" THEN
The purpose of our government is to...
> Waste taxpayer money
> Never balance a budget
> Inflate the currency
> Surveil law-abiding citizens
> Enrich criminal insiders
> Fund forever wars
> Expand bureaucracy endlessly
> Bail out failing banks and corporations
> Suppress dissent and alternative viewpoints
> Manipulate markets through crony capitalism
> Pass laws that benefit donors, not citizens
> Use propaganda to manufacture consent
> Undermine civil liberties under the guise of security
> Use fear to justify more government control
> Create problems that justify their own expansion
> Punish whistleblowers while protecting criminals
> Ensure politicians never face real consequences
> Overregulate small businesses while favoring monopolies
> Weaponize tax agencies against political opponents
> Centralize power and erode local governance

poor little guy is out of his skull, he can't manage to climb the stairs, and he can't seem to stop in one place, idk what they gave him, i suppose some typical pcp derivative, he is way out of it, and way ataxia
#catstr is #stoned little deary
he also had an antibiotic shot so hopefully in a few days his gingevitis will calm down and he'll stop drooling and tongue-wagging in the next few days

Even the real people are just generating everything because they have an AI and they know how to use it.
No point coming here, to read generated stuff, when I can just generate my own stuff.

Finally finished my Rust implementation of secp256k1 (elliptic curve) math today. Got burned by bugs in my Python implementation.
Some of my Python test cases were just the outputs of previous failed runs. That is, I ASSUMED my Python was correct and encoded that assumption in the unit tests. So when I ported the tests to Rust, the failed, even thought the Rust implementation was correct!
This #BOSS program has been quite the challenge. And I’m way behind. Should have been done with this part weeks ago. Combination of difficulty and life interventions.
Trying to remain positive. #Bitcoin

Yeah, still pondering. I mean, it’s a metaphor, which is doomed. Every metaphor is “not the same thing” by definition. If it was the same thing, it wouldn’t be a metaphor.
However, sometimes pondering metaphors leads to insight. That’s what I’m exploring here.
I think there’s something to be said for complexity, intelligence and will. Like, we might say that matter “wants” to get together (gravity). Genes “want” to propagate. Chemicals “want” to react, etc.
And so we intelligent beings of higher complexity want things of a higher order. When we interact with simpler systems, simpler (brute) means apply. If you want to move dirt, you scoop it. But if you want to move public sentiment, sophisticated persuasive tools are more effective than brute force.
To escape a gravity well, you have to expel propellant. Direct application of force in the face of brute physics. To unlock a cryptographic system, you *can* use brute force, but you can also apply knowledge—the private keys.
I don’t know where I’m going with this. Just thinking aloud.
I think it’s more than just “knowledge is power”. Like, knowledge is a superior substitute for force. “Pen is mightier than the sword” kind of thing.

It's ok, they've already got Alphabet, Palantir, etc. if they need to downsize their federal footprint just to put on a show, it's nbd.
Is it bad that I always name my phone Palantir? Just for the LotR reference.

I barely noticed their arriving, to be honest. I just see newbies occasionally, when my friens interact with them.

Another day on Nostr, of new npubs showing up and immediately declaring that they are a full-stack, crack software developer, with lots of free time, looking for a Bitcoin job and eager to work without pay.
