Internal financial plumbing for a trusted system is a silly hallucination you have there. Why lock of resources when trusted software can do it for free.

Currently yes it is, but imagine if Start9 themselves or someone similar pivots to creating a hardened core agent instead, like @nprofile…5adx suggested a bit further down. I think that, with primary voice control and operation is an experience bump that will bring a lot more people online.

I was more trying to poke at whether you believe we will still have a web UI style base system, secure and hardened and then agents on top, or if instead it will end up being agents all the way down.

Looks like you already figured out a way to get this running. What kind of hardware is needed for a self hosted LLM capable of basic tasks?

Why is the assumption it will still be a start9 or similar? Isn't it more likely that you buy mac mini or repurposed old hardware, install openclaw and thats it?

True, I'm still weary though. The stakes are so much higher for a single slip up. Proper precautions can be taken, but by the masses and plebs(myself included) it seems a high bar currently.

OpenClaw is likely only worth using if you use a self hosted LLM or @nprofile…0qzz

Ok maybe I can learn then.
Tell me where I'm misunderstanding what youre saying. LLM constructors have taken all the data and information they can find, and have used it to train their LLMs. The LLMs during training takes the information and organizes it, in the end doing so in a way so they can respond to a natural language request. You're saying the value isn't in the models interpretation of the information and resulting response but in how the information is itself organized.
Is that right?

Hey @nprofile…vavr went to send some ecash, and as soon as I hitsensd and copied the invoice it said the ecash had been sent, without me entering any info into the other ecash wallet I was trying to switch to.

Hard to attribute the damage directly to single person. I think its more of a reflection of a society in fiat decline, and the right timing of an individual to come in and open the doors for a group of corrupt people to take advantage of the system they were presented with.
I'm not a fan myself, but I'm much more in line now with Jeff Booths thinking that there is no other outcome, Trudeau or not, of a fiat base system.
I think a case could be made that Canada is a benefactor of the catallion effect to some extent, and I believe the rot of the money printer is worst at the root. There is no other way.

Nostr needs a boomer friendly app. I mean techno-illiterate type boomer. The parents with 20-40 year olds who are retiring into the AI slop of the day which is programming them with garbage. Idk how, or what about the apps they use that they like but I think it would need to include daily games they can easily share with friends, easily sharing workouts with friends, funny memes through a scrolling format, and local communities. Could also include something like a Facebook marketplace so they can pass their stuff back and forth lol. More than anything it needs to have simple UI, be easy and friendly to use, and have some sort of key backup built in which prevents them from losing their account.

I started it a few months ago and havent gone back to finish. I don't get a fine literature vibe from it, more of a mental break other books/in depth stories fail to offer me. Something I'm looking forward to when I'm in the right mental space to accept that.
Would have to agree though that the plot is far from groundbreaking, I'm oddly OK with it though. I see it as kind of like an attempt at M.C. Escher style artwork in story format.

I've heard lots of talk about how the system is already insolvent, one metric I hear quoted often is that there are $4 of debt for every $1 of assets in the world. That would put as at $4 quadrillion in debt if we take the 900 trillion number that gets thrown around a lot.
How then is global debt only $324 trillion according to this picture? What am I not understanding

Definitely an understandable take. However, I think Asimov hasany examples of how to do this well-ish. Granted it was for his career but I still feel he stands out. Oddly I find much of his character understanding comes from the main plot of the short story being unfolded as a mystery. We discover both the plot and the character at the same time which makes it feel deeper.

However, I can confidently say that I will never need 6 mil a year to lead a perfect life in my own eyes. Bitcoin max, material min. Maybe for 1 year for fun but that amount of consumption would quickly become tiresome for me.
The ideal scenario in my mind is to stack enough to allow for spending the increase in global productivity every year. In bitcoin terms the stack will of course decrease. In purchasing power terms all needs are taken care of indefinitely for generations. as long as discipline and humility are valued.

Fair point for $ vs ₿.
I do think another issue worth talking about is the moving target of Bitcoins value, which to me is related to the number of decimals. This will have an impact long term and oddly makes ₿ make more sense to my eyes & brain.
At a price of $10 million USD in todays dollars 10 satoshis is 1 dollar. The question in my mind is when do more decimals become needed for daily transactions. If its not in our lifetime then ₿ still has some friction for me mentally. If its in our lifetime and there can be 1000.23 ₿ then I'm onboard(walk).
Tldr: the lack of decimals with satoshis prevents me from enjoying ₿ as the satoshi denomination.
