Proof of person, proof of profession, proof of competence – the three layers we'll need if Nostr is going to mean anything in a world overrun by AI agents.
On the fifth episode of Say WoT?, I sat down with straycat (nprofile…082c) and Nathan Day (nprofile…gyz0) to dig into it. Bots are first-class citizens here, and that's a feature, not a bug. The work is figuring out how to know who's who they claim to be, without falling back on the surveillance model the legacy web tried to sell us.
Nathan's Person NIP is days away. David's tags are already being prototyped. The substrate is forming.
Tune in on Fountain, or wherever you get your Nostr signal.
