At @Bitcoin FilmFest a panel took place where the participants discussed the role AI will play in the future of art. One of them mentioned that it might enable aspiring artists who don't possess the necessary skills to express the art that they have inside them. Inspired by that, I thought that I should share what I did a while ago with digital painting and Nano Banana. I started drawing an image that had come to my mind, but quickly realized that I won't have the time or energy to build up adequate artistic skills required to finish the piece. So I fed a half-baked sketch into Gemini, gave it some color samples and here's what happened. I'm also sharing the initial sketch, so that you might get the feeling of the tool's capabilities.

Holosoil is one of my latest and greatest musical discoveries. A brand new German prog rock/metal band (more Tool than Rush type of prog), playing really advanced stuff that just screams intelligence, but not in a self-indulgent fashion. You can hear that the vocalist deeply understands rhythm, so a) the vocal parts don't have to be dumbed down as is common for many prog bands b) the resulting melodies are fucking awesome. Enjoy! BTW, a call to the #demu folk: please try to bring these guys to nostr. They sound nerdy enough to get it.

This is one of the most brutal tracks on my playlist. For many of you, it will might be difficult to listen to, but it is definitely worth getting accustomed to. I feel that only in this kind of music can one capture the fact that tremendous beauty can be found in the anguish of a soul being violently transformed. Born one thing and becoming another.

Another banger from my collection - ImpetuoUs by Puscifer. I'm always amazed by the amount of attention to detail and their great taste in terms of timbre.

Hey @vinney...axkl wanna sign a contract? https://attestr.app/contract/attestr-00eb0405-0135-4e85-948c-cb1509f32b13 No idea how it works, just trying it out.

Thomas Seyfried discusses the metabolic-mitochondrial theory of cancer with Mike Levin: Pretty advanced material, but definitely worth watching. This is one of the most important breakthroughs in medicine in years, happening right before our eyes. TLDW: Cancer is a metabolic disease, not a genetic one and you have to be retarded to think otherwise. Tumor progression can be slowed down, halted or even reversed by lowering glucose, increasing ketones (with diet and fasting) + targeting glutamine metabolism with drugs (this is strictly necessary!; diet alone won't suffice). There are lab experiments and human case studies that prove it beyond reasonable doubt.

A must-watch video summarizing the work of Michael Levin: Highlights: - Intelligence can be found on much lower levels of organization than what we typically believe. - We can use tools from cognitive science and psychology to interact with tissues and even individual cells. For example, even relatively simple chemical networks can exhibit pavlovian conditioning. - Single-cell organisms with 100% human DNA. - Regrowing limbs. - Conscious exploration of the morphospace (the space of possible body-forms). - Platonic space might be real after all.

#asknostr Do you guys know any good YouTube-like nostr client? Maybe it would make sense to upload my stuff to some dedicated place, instead of just posting raw nostr.build links.

Saylor's rambling in slomo is #demu to my ears. This sillyness will continue until y'all love it. There is no second best! BTW, I love the fact he consistently says the word "bitcoin" as a descending minor sixth, my favorite interval ❤️ 🎶 Also, please appreciate the drama on "There IS no second best" 😆 A reminder - this stuff is nostr-exclusive and there's no algo here. Repost, react and zap if you find this interesting! #nostrmusic #music #musicstr #guitar #bitcoin #grownostr

@ZEUS having trouble zapping using Zeus if it requires switching focus from another app. I might be wrong, but it started with the previous version (0.11.5). Or maybe with 0.11.4 - anyway, it's something new.

A Polish Bitcoin community @npub1cpmv...sapc is raising funds to send Bitcoin Standard by @Saifedean Ammous to every MP, so that those doofuses get a chance to learn about what they're regulating. If you like the idea, please support the initiative on Geyser.
