Can't see job destruction as a result of AI. I think a variation of Jenson's paradox applies, where instead of say, AI destroying the virtual assistant's role, or a junior developer role, it would instead make the costs of such services lower, and therefore more in demand. More expected for existing roles, at lower prices, but a resultingly bigger scope of activity and net employment.

Time spent defining the problem is worth 10x that of building the solution. Don't ever mistake motion for action.

"Hey Ben! Been ages bro! Hows it going? Seen Bitcoin? Is it a good time to buy then? I found a guy on YouTube who does really good trading lessons, loads of followers, he makes 100k an hour from his yacht, do you know him? <insert degen link> Heard Ripple is the new one to buy - thoughts? We still need to get my coins off the exchange but i want a HWW that holds DonkeyVisionToken - which one is the best for that? When are you back in <PovertyDistrictUK> ? Question - when you buy bitcoin where does the money go? Into the blockchain? What if the internet, power and water goes down and there's a nuclear war - does bitcoin still work? Still feels risky to me? Thoughts? I have an old coinbase account - are they still good? Thoughts? Thoughts? Got any thoughts ben? Thoughts please Think for me, but i'll prob ignore you b/c the mrs doesn't get it. Thoughts?" image

Extremely bullish on NOSTR. Even regular users sometimes miss the future potential outside of social content. NOSTR lets you sign anything. In life - think about what needs a signature. Bitcoin fixed this for money NOSTR fixes this for all other matters of signature. Cat pics, podcasts, articles and dank memes are barely the start of the start of what this will do. ONWARDS me hearties! image

It's my 1 year #NOSTRversary Appreciate @`nathan_day`for my purple pill, after much resistance and dismissive-ness, I believe NOSTR is still more underrated than Bitcoin. Both will change the world. Will celebrate by continuing to build my NOSTR based business, launching later in 2024. Onwards...

I made fun of America yesterday. I always do it on SuperbOwl and Independence Day. On Independence Day, it's because of how little there is to celebrate for modern Americans. Having a BBQ and getting shitfaced in a captured state economy is to my mind a huge self-own. On SuprbOwl day, it's a little different. It's escapism, distraction, and a one for one comparison with the bread and circuses era of the collapsing roman empire. Screaming at a pointless event with silver washed antoninianus in your pocket is a fundamentally sad thing to observe. They are the two anti-holidays of the year. I love what America was. I don't love what it has become, what it has given away, and to celebrate it is in a way more sad than if it just faded away like the values it represented. It's like a heavyweight boxer who lost his way and now does car commercials for money, still wearing his gloves, saying to come down to Bob's Car Lot for "knockout prices". Sad, cringe, & depressing. I reserve my disgust and honestly, hatred, for the more banal, baseless evil in places like modern europe, but they don't even pretend to care about freedom.

Thriving, flourishing, taking over the planet. Never measure success in fiat. It's like measuring distance with elastic bands. image
