It’s funny, they said that paid relays would never survive because there are free ones. Looks like my free ones are the ones struggling while the paid relays are moving along so far. #Value4Value

Well for all the stink Apple is causing over zaps, us “old folks” remember the early days of having to use invoices. Bring on those sexy QR codes!!! #DontZapMeBro #Invoice lnbc19840n1pjgkez7pp5r84925a23ax6gc82dz3dvs44c2j3ahkf0zys3tv3zlualzydatpsdqu2askcmr9wssx7e3q2dshgmmndp5scqzzsxqyz5vqsp58rwk0fmq48uava3wyk3jer05fcleeqe50sxkprvt0t0vcj64fzpq9qyyssqgqva9vlnj9xeyp0m4f93cdudgcwa96gflwzvy7asacpy9kucrd2rnry3smhusx9phg3fyzglt0dfn9e6prn0xwdfahu648vvgxnnl8cplguc3n

I propose we make an Apple wallet, zap the shit out of it and then send to Tim Cook on a cold card and bribe him to leave zaps alone. (Also tell him he received zaps so he has to pay the apple tax too. )

Hey #[0]​, I just had a thought…can you appeal to Apple in that no money is actually transacted on, sent to or from, or even lives on #[1]​? Because it’s true. The zap feature really just shows a value you were paid (outside the app on a Venmo/paypal/CashApp) separately. Would be no different if Twitter somehow integrated Venmo stats to a profile via API. #[2]​ may have some insight on the language to use but may be worth a try. Also, point out that both Twitter and Facebook allow payment on their apps.

We need to talk about “AI”. Can we stop calling it Artificial Intelligence and start calling me Automated Intelligence? There’s nothing Artificially Intelligent about it. It’s nothing more than a very smart computer program designed to curate already known data. It’s not having original thoughts or inventing new things or genome sequences or whatever. It’s been thought how to return the most likely output based on percentages. It’s just the next iteration of automation in the world and happens to be very data driven. First we had the printing press to automate written communication, electric light to automate candles, and then automobiles for transportation, telephone for voice communications, and we kept progressing to now automated banking and call center agents and many more. AI is the automation of knowledge and intelligence able to parse and gather data very fast, but notice how they often respond that they don’t have live data or are limited to X period? That’s because it’s not thinking naturally as if you and I would. It’s picking the least likely scenario for your request. No different that you heading to a library and finding your answer amongst the stacks. Could AI one day have truly original and intelligent thought? Absolutely, but we are far from that currently. AI is only as smart as the humans who truly think for the machines.
