It is strange how common algorithmic psychosis is on social media. It becomes strange when it convinces others to dedicate themselves to poisoning the minds of others with the politics of good vs. evil. What a predictable outcome too. The algorithm is totally binary. You either post or don't post. You view or don't view. You engage or don't engage. So naturally, large swaths believe they are good. I mean, after all, how could one simply settle with being evil?

Got bit by a stray dog in rural Mexico but the 24/7 hospital clinic is closed because the doctor was “incapacitado”. Hey but at least Mexico has universal healthcare lol 🤙

Damnit Gemini’s voice models are way better than OpenAI’s and they’re cheaper too >.<

Another wave of entrepreneurial depression. Perhaps doubling down for the 40th time will solve it, or perhaps I've gone insane in ways that will damage me for years to come.

Some sneak peaks to the game I’ll be adding to my nostr based language learning app. Now stories/quest dialogue are user driven and gathering items for quests is included

Looks like the roads in Jalisco are shut down and power will be cut in a few hours. Honestly… great use case for bitchat

I’m not really sure I believe in nostr’s claims of value for value over the long term. It’s rather idealistic and disconnected from reality. In most cases, people’s money is often people’s time. It’s their lifeblood. They don’t have the privilege of venture capital or other structural means. So in most cases, if you want 10,000 sats from someone, you’re more likely than going to need to earn it by providing a solution to a real problem they’re having. If I have $30 to spend on art and entertainment, is it really going to go to a post on nostr that I’ll forget about or is it going to be that one event or show in my city? The reality of business is ruthless but so is the exchange of peoples time and lifeblood for products and services.
I've been using nostr for nearly two years and it's pretty much the only social platform where I haven't encountered hate. That's the ultimate success of a social space not dependent and incentivized by algorithms. God bless you all, even if you think differently than me.
Gonna build an app to help no Sabos (Latinos that can’t speak Spanish) learn and practice Spanish with an AI voice call feature, inspired by Duolingo.
I feel like most startups these days only get seen because they’re venture backed. So some investors have a spreadsheet of startups, they pump it eventually by sharing it with their network, and then the market validates it because there’s money on the line. So the startup ultimately gets seen because there’s money on the line. But if you build tech products from your own pocket, it becomes a lot less likely to be seen regularly, depending on sales more than marketing.
It's insane how much the quality of content on tiktok has dropped since 2020-2022
In some ways, Bitcoin restricts freedoms. All systems do, even if they produce more freedoms than the systems before it. In what way does Bitcoin restrict freedom? It's still money, after all.
