Many say people aren't smart enough to grok #bitcoin. I disagree. I work as a programmer in Agriculture Tech, most of our clients are old farmers who have been slow to adopt new Tech. But they do. When you care enough about something and it effects your bottom line, people learn to use it. ๐Ÿšœ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ“ˆ

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
