An AI impression is just patterns. It doesn't have a soul. But this fails to recognize that WE are just patterns. The patterns echo into the shapes of our brains.
"Democracy cannot be the highest possibility man can attain. It is good in comparison to other forms of government that have preceded it. But not something that can succeed it. I call it meritocracy. I want a government by the people of merit. And merit is a very rare quality. As the situation is, all the geniuses of the world are out of governments. It is hilarious. Those geniuses are needed in the government, because they can give the best world to humanity. But they are servants to the retarded politicians. Now the scientists who are making nuclear weapons are in the service of people like Ronald Reagan. What merit he has got? What intelligence he has got? What is his contribution to the world? Those third grade Hollywood cowboy films? But he will be decisive. And the geniuses will never be known. They will work almost anonymously. All this can be changed by people of genius coming to the top." - Osho

This is crazy. Buy a server off eBay for $2,000 and it will cost pennies to host from then on. Ditto Relay / Ditto Blossom / Shakespeare AI / Mostr Bridge is set up like this.

Apparently somebody created a Bitcoin Cash version of Nostr, completely fixing the problem of high fees and custodial Lightning. Vibed with Shakespeare. Huh.
