Writing the Great American Bitcoin Novel ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿงกโœ๏ธ
Apple is now offering 400% higher ROI on savings accounts than Chase. Do you think they'd let me use my wife's iPhone as collateral for a mortgage?
Hey @CountBTC I'm really looking forward to reading The Satoshi Wedding Murders! Do you have plans to publish it as well? I love collecting physical copies of books and want to support all #bitcoin fiction writers out there ๐Ÿงก image #bookstr #writing #plebreads
Shrinkflation: Coming to a store near you! 4 oz smaller. Same price. Note the green cap, that way you know your lack of consumption is good for the environment. #bitcoin fixes this image
How do you think that AI will influence storytelling? I have been experimenting by integrating AI into my writing process. I have been using ChatGPT for ideation and Github Copilot to contextually autocomplete sentences and paragraphs for me. It's cool. But the more I think about it the more skeptical I am that AI will ever be able to supplant human's ability to tell stories. The thing that makes stories so interesting to me personally is riding around in the thoughts and feeling of another human being. It's the tropes and plot expectations that authors play with via story promises. It's the higher level story architecture and plot design. Maybe it will get there eventually, but currently the way that AI language models work is by taking aggregate ideas for millions of humans texts and combining them. This is the exact opposite of how great stories are created. Great stories have traditionally are born from the mind of an individual, this is the case because very unique viewpoints and perspectives are the exact thing that makes stories so interesting. There are countless examples of giant teams ruining beloved stories that were created by an individual (New Star Wars, The Hobbit Movies, Game of Thrones). But I've been thinking about this in isolation. Have any other writers or readers on Nostr given thought to how AI will impact storytelling? #writing #books #NostrBookClub #bookstr #plebreads

Book 10 of 2023. Dark Matter is the best new fiction books I've read so far this year! image It had all of the things that I look for in a good #scifi novel. The plot was creative new and interesting, but the core idea of the book is one of optimism and gratitude for the life that you currently are living. It doesn't just use flower language to show this, but you get to experience with the characters what it would be like if a different version of yourself was trying to steal your life away from you. Again, so impressed. 95/100. Blake Crouch just earned himself a new fan. #NostrBookClub #bookstr #books #writing

If there are only 222k sats per person on the planet, I like to think that I took these ones straight from the hands of future Paul Krugman. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ“ˆ image
One of the funniest moments in my day-to-day life is me, the computer programmer/writer/chess nerd, rolling up to jiu jitsu in my busted up cheap car. Then manhandling the ex-military, cops, and football players showing up in their jacked up expensive trucks. I love those guys. But it's hilarious watching the badass image getting destroyed by this nerdy kid ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ“šโ™Ÿ๏ธ
