I'm working on a sixteen chapter album covering the tales in Norse mythology. Here is a little preview of Chapter One and Chapter Fifteen. Will be released on Nostr!

Most people are so out of touch with reality that they don't know what is going on. They know nothing other than the "current thing". 66% on a poll in a Norwegian news paper want to ban Grok, one of thousands of AI services that exists today. That tells you how disconnected people are. Anyone with a computer can generate any photograph and video of any person. You can make phone calls and video calls and appear like anyone you want. The quality is already good enough to fool many people, in Norway you will fool probably 66% or more. Anything you want, you can make. I warned about this a few years ago, that people should begin to prepare. They did not prepare, nobody did. I said to prepare for the day when their kids come home crying because someone at school made some bad videos of them and shared with everyone. The only reason this is not yet as widespread, is because people are slow at adopting and understanding. People don't understand this technology, so they want to enforce rules that are not really possible to achieve. xAI, OpenAI and others are doing their best to stop the flood gates of possible generations from this generative AI capability, but it will never be good enough. It also doesn't matter, because any kid with a computer can generate anything they can imagine. That is why people in power, want to kill access to these service for you. Before, satire was available only to artists that made cartoons featuring politicians or comedians on TV. Now, "satire" is available to everyone and the people in power doesn't like it. They don't like seeing themselves as mockery dressed up in underwear or having sex with pigs (Black Mirror, remember?). The governments and politicians will continue to fight to obstruct people's access to a free Internet. They understand how detrimental it is to their established power for people to have unlimited access to intelligent helpers at the small cost of a few cents. They want to hold you back, restrict your access to intelligence, and they will do it under excuses as to protect your kids and to protect you. You're being fooled again, and you deserve it. It's a new reality, it is time to wake up.

Hey @Shawn, you got me to make an substack account a while back to simplify the editing experience in @Nostria. Now I opened it up again and I just realized it's a social media too? I had no idea. Could you tell me a bit about it? I'm just looking at the content there and it appears to be insane amount of engagement, but then I look at comments and it's just a whole bunch of unrelated comments, different languages, etc? The feeling I get is that it's thousands of bots creating fake comments (at least on some threads I opened)? Or is it really a massive social network by now? Robert Reich, which just appeared in the feed. He got 1.4 million followers on X, 1.1 million on Substack. His last post (cross-posting) has: 927 likes vs 327 likes (X) 229 reposts vs 129 reposts (X) 31 replies vs 42 replies (X) Not that much difference really, but I would love to learn more about how Substack ended up where it is. I don't think Medium is even close to same engagement which have traditionally only had comments? I made one comment back when I made the account on one article, and I got a reply that was very weird.
