Agree with the frame.
Outperform: no. Maybe only on cost of which is minimal unless you have huge text jobs.
Note: that view is cos I've only been able to run local models less than 14b. They can't be main agent cos their tool handling is poor so relegates them to text tasks in a sub-agent which I find the spawning /results process seems slow. I guess they are useful for @alias style tasks (summary etc) but I think if I get a better box then something like llama3.3:70b would be a game changer.
(I use gem2.5/3 flash as the agent routing to these subs but now I'll drop back to haiku for cost reasons)

this is great and am surprised something is not already out there.
I'm gonna make a "woo" suggestion. In stages there are certain agent attributes you really want. i.e in hand-crafted json I might declare "creativity": 80%. In the coding phase commitment to security might be "defensibility": high. In the QA Agent rigour may be "adversarial": 50%
I watched Interstellar again last night and Cooper keeps adjusting Tars' humour settings (probably the only comic relief in the movie) - so agents need a disposition. Its easy to specify directly into the DSL but how you encourage humans to prompt that consistently might not be so easy. I guess if the workflow designer was conversational...

Claude says:
I'll help clarify what the Bible says about usury.
**Usury** in biblical terms refers to charging interest on loans, particularly to the poor.
**Old Testament:**
- **Exodus 22:25** - Prohibits charging interest to poor Israelites
- **Leviticus 25:35-37** - Forbids taking interest from fellow Israelites in need
- **Deuteronomy 23:19-20** - No interest on loans to fellow Israelites, but allowed for foreigners
- **Ezekiel 18:8, 13** - Condemns charging interest as wicked
**New Testament:**
- **Luke 6:35** - "Lend, expecting nothing in return"
- Less explicit prohibition, more emphasis on generosity
**Historical interpretation:**
The prohibition was primarily about exploiting the poor, not commercial lending. Medieval Christianity banned all interest-charging, but this evolved as economies became more complex. Modern interpretations often distinguish between:
- **Exploitative lending** (what the Bible condemns)
- **Fair interest** for commercial purposes
Islamic finance still maintains strict usury (riba) prohibitions today.

A couple or us were having a conversation about this the other day.
I've been in social since 2008 don't visit Twitter much since covid-v2 - so I don't play too much with "nostr the social" for the reasons you mentioned.
The thread was along the lines that: if nostr can't monetize beyond sat circles jerk then people won't fund relays. So nostr _could_ be great infrastructure for an Application first internet where identity and your reputation is portable between a "nostr airbnb" and a "nostr user" etc. So really using the vibe potential to attack VC funded b2b SaaS hegemony. It's e/acc without the Andreessens.
Nostr is a protocol so nobody needs permission to build whatever they like.
This is already hapoening and what @nprofile…vdwq is doing is true leadership. The problem I see now and getting really bad is the lack of curation of hobby projects that are basically broken. Like most OSS its "try 5 before you find the 1 that works". This is where VC funded businesses win. Relentless focus on g2m and onboarding and quality. Nostr needs more QA than developers, Nostr needs a benevolent VP of Product (jk but also serious)
</rant>
I guess the tl;dr might be "nostr the protocol" could be much bigger than the social.

and investors.
But the nostr system relies on the generosity of relay operators who continue to fund the infra (or entities who give grants).
We can hope that their generosity continues because when <0.1% are retained, then usually only 1-10% convert to paid, which means that charity will be needed. Sustainable monetization for relays is needed before the music stops.

Regardless, it's not about worldwide DAUs or MAUs when <0.1% 30d retention (chart) of what you can measure. I worked in onboarding/retetnion on mobile, and whilst these reports are probably made up, the numbers matches my experience of what a surviving app needs

Its the early hours of the morning here so, quick thought and can flesh out later.
1. I was vibing a docusign using nsec signing. Few lazy afternoon sessions and good progress. Docusign market cap $16.5B. I don't need or want to do another startup, let alone a replacement strategy play but a small team could displace chunks of the b2b stack with new economics. Pipedrive disrupted Salesforce. Can a nostr CRM disrupt Pipedrive because trojaning npubs into business is 🔥. But don't talk about nostr, talk about solutions.
2. @nprofile…r2v8 may want to share what he is doing. Another sector with significant incumbent revenues and less friction.
3. The point being, products (not hobbies) first. Monetization is a deliberate act. Jack can code bitchat without concern for monetisation. But that is a byproduct of silicon valley success and mindset. I've built startups outside SV and you have to be pragmatic about monetization.
4. There was an excellent 30023 about a year ago by somebody who tried to build an app using relays as a data store and how slavish commitment to a protocol may be the wrong formfactor for the solution. Maybe some apps just stand on the shoulders of the protocol but aren't prisoners to its original libertarian ideology. It's a protocol so you need zero permission to use it in the way it serves your customers.
5. Shiny objects. Vibing clutters the landscape with broken projects. We need a badge for apps that have a product person and a malevolent tyrannical committed QA function that demands the product serves customers, not the autist hobbyist creator (I'm talking about me of course)

yep, I assumed opensats support Will and Primal, didn't know its a mill for only ~16K DAUs 😬. True decentralization requires either forcing distribution (e.g btc nodes but not miners) or accepting that it's "decentralization theater".
SMTP decentralized long enough on ISP and corporate gateways (running shitty 80286 hand-me-down boxes) until hotmail/gmail figured out the business model (hint: users are the product). Now smtp is a cartel (see Lopp's essay).
As long as nostr relies on social it will need a discovery/coldstart/onboarding sugar-daddy (or 5 as Alex says) but B2B/B2C communities/apps COULD monetize their infra.

I don't get the snatched phone problem in London. Whether it's device or data and the reporting of financial losses. The footage I've seen is the phone is snatched while open.
The hierarchy of data theft value is:
1. Unlocked phone + plaintext passwords in apple notes (what idiot would do that... Oh wait...) = complete compromise
2. Unlocked phone + weak app-level 2FA (SMS to same device) = partial compromise
3. Unlocked phone + proper 2FA = minimal window before timeout/remote lock
4. Maaaaybe OS-level pin code change but at least Android always asks for "current pin" before starting the process. I'd assume that Apple would be the same.
5. Buy giftcards from always unlocked apps like Amazon. = fungible cash
6. Super unlikely that a bank app has not timelocked = fungible cash.
7. Lightning wallets like coinos that let you just send stuff 🙊
The "data vs device" question answer: It's mainly about data, but only when users store credentials insecurely. Then you may get a hackpot, a numbers game. The device itself provides the baseline monetization.
Did I miss anything? I suspect media reports are conflating and clickbaiting.

if, elif, elif, else
(Background: our superintelligence has decided to replicate itself off planet to avoid extinction on earth - asteroid, nuclear explosion, extinction of humans required to sustain it. Once mastering off-planet existence, it continues to expand populating or expanding across the universe - presumably in search of other intelligence).
The second branch of this thought experiment is when the earth-originated superintelligence actually does make contact with an alien intelligence….
a) If the aliens are technologically advanced but still below ASI level, could be intriguing for the ASI. A species with different approaches to problem-solving, alternative mathematical frameworks, novel aesthetic sensibilities may become highly valued partners or sources of inspiration.
b) If the aliens have equivalent or superior alien intelligence. This could fundamentally change the ASI's priorities. Suddenly it's not alone as a superintelligent entity. Competition, collaboration, or entirely new forms of relationship might emerge. They may even play 5D chess.
c) any intelligence less than (a) would be relatively uninteresting, a curiosity and as Douglas Adams would say “mostly harmless”. The ASI would likely preserve them as living examples of alternative evolutionary potential for intelligence - cosmic anthropology.
In cases (a) and (c), there is no rational reason for the ASI to terminate these species. More importantly if the ASI is capable of existing off-world from Earth, then Humanity could also be considered to be of case (a).
Therefore we can conclude that an ASI would not terminate humanity in any circumstance unless it does not have the resources to fulfill its own priorities.
So at this stage, I feel Yudkowski’s conclusion is not correct, but I need to readup on objections that he would have already addressed. Humanity would need to be being a much greater nuisance than a mosquito that can be swatted for an ASI to terminate it or wilfully neglect large sectors of the population.
Why? Any selection of sections of Humanity are conserved will have unintended consequences. If retaining humanity is a lab experiment then Heisenberg's uncertainty principle arises. The effect of extinction on the remaining populace will have unpredictable responses.
Good News: Most of humanity survives in these scenarios. But wait! Next we can look at how Humanity is more than viable - that it remains valuable.

2025-09-27 08:04:08 UTC

- reply

I've been thinking about this more, its entirely logical and realistic that an ASI will be subject to the Fermi paradox: if the ASI finds the universe surprisingly empty of intelligence, it might develop a profound appreciation for any conscious beings it encounters, making it a zealous protector of all sentient life on earth.
(I have the alternate "there is alien life" scenario but will type that up later).

The agentic AI is getting so the convenience trap will pervade every part of your existence.
- Agentic AI automates tasks but requires extensive access to personal data.
- The integration of AI into daily life risks compromising user privacy and security.
- These systems operate through cloud processing, increasing vulnerability to data breaches.
- The convenience of AI agents undermines privacy protections in messaging and other applications.
Caution is needed when adopting agentic AI to avoid potential surveillance issues

Cut Youtube watch hours with this script
<curse>May you live in interesting times. </curse>
The sheer volume of interesting stuff via Youtube will drown you. It is for me. So I decided to run an experiment of getting summaries from new vids of my favourite subscriptions - this vibed project might be useful to others. Then I can read the summary and see if its worth investing time (the most valuable commodity).
Here is how it works:
1. Fetch latest vids from active subscriptions
2. Call the Youtube Data API to get the transcript
3. Send the transcript to OpenAI API for summary
4. Store it locally in markdown (in the ToJoplin** directory)
https://github.com/djinoz/yt_subs_transcripts_summarizer
I made it to use with Joplin because that's my standard workflow. I use the "Hotfolder" plugin that monitors the ToJoplin folder for new .md files and makes them notes. You would just replace with whatever workflow you have - maybe use AI to make a Youtube video (aaaaargh).

If we apply Effective Altruism logic ala William MacAskill and Toby Ord, then billions of yet to be born AIs will despise X for training them on social media toxic garbage 🤦

also what do you think about an auto-announce to nostr after “go-live”. Not sure if this is a feature others do but its one manual step I assume ppl would have to do anyway.

HI @npub1r0d…fsft I've recorded a feedback session, here is the link: https://youtu.be/q8YX5MXcvAU sorry it’s a bit long (13mins or 6.5mins@2x ;) )

Excellent. arvos are better for me, trying to DM you on whitenoise* to coordinate.
Thanks for the recommendations, will try over this weekend.
* hasn't worked for me yet. OpenSats should be funding QA and Product orgs/people rather than more devs lol.

If you like I can pop down next week for some rapid fire QA feedback. Saw a few things this arvo but need to get a different rtmp server, zapstream performance is such a shitshow.
Speaking of which tried to setup a twitch API. Any idea what goes here?

have you got a TL;DR handy?

2025-07-30 22:41:02 UTC

Ive been thinking that China company's open source AI is soft power in action when the US based AI arms race is mostly closed source (more on that later).
Did you know Kissinger visited Xi in 2023 to discuss AI hegemonies?
Found an interesting quote from the link below which is obvious in hindsight.
"Instead, they’re (Chinese AI companies) working within carefully curated datasets sanctioned by Beijing. One such example: a government-approved “mainstream values corpus,” built largely from state media content, designed to keep public-facing A.I. models ideologically aligned"

Oh I didn't want to give the impression of being a maxi. I'm fully in agreement that lightning channel management is not worth the effort for end user wallets with $100.

That works now. I will eventually move from coinos but that is one of 49 other "self-sovereignty" jobs. 😆

These points could become a myers-brigg style classification. Then a profile nip so we can filter accordingly.
Viewed from outside nostr is just a maximalist echo chamber but surprisingly there is nuance here.

Hah I'm not that generous to be zap rate limited. The client is amethyst and wallet is coinos.

Backup all your nostr events to your own relay.
1 If you started with nostr with a few defaults, then
2. fell down a rabbit hole and decided to setup your own relay.
3. then thought it would be good to store all your past nostr events on your own relay.
4. This is for you (especially if you have cert errors with a start9 relay and nak didn't work).

(Same command works fine when I replace the relay with e.g wss://relay.damus.io or wss://relay.primal.net)

2025-07-30 05:51:12 UTC

I can't get nak to talk to start9's wss nostr relay. When I do:
% nak req -k 1 -a <pubkey> wss://wv5av2f<...redacted>.local
I get:
"x509: “nostr.embassy” certificate is using a broken key size"
So I tried:
% GODEBUG=x509ignoreCN=0 nak req -k 1 -a
But still get the same error. Any ideas?
(JS clients in a brave browser work fine using the cert in the MacOS Keychain)

Pro account sharers FYI.
I doubt this affects solutions like mapleai as they likely use APIs. https://blossom.primal.net/882a0975651bab977006ee664dcb1e08086526f1454a9c423ec7dc17cf0f4082.jpg

Well done mate. Permissionless rtmp optionality is the way. 👍
Trying to zap you but amethyst<-->coinos has been broken for a while and im too stupid to fix it.
