Interesting piece from @jack ‘s Block today on the evolution of coordination systems and corporations over time

From Hierarchy to Intelligence

From Hierarchy to Intelligence

How Block is using AI to eliminate hierarchical bottlenecks, building the first company organized as intelligence rather than hierarchy.

I wonder what he, and NOSTR in general, thinks of Bittensor (a Bitcoin-inspired protocol) as an alternative coordination mechanism for economic activity

Bittensor

Internet-scale machine learning

I know you don’t like the spotlight, @jack, but if you want people to actually adopt NOSTR and Bitchat en masse you have to step into the spotlight and promote them Would be good to have more Americans on decentralized protocols ahead of 2028, when all signs indicate that things are going to get freaky

Head of digital assets research at Van Eck has endorsed the theory that Jack Dorsey is Satoshi @jack, any comment?

Who is in Uvita ?

@jack this guy seems to have spent A LOT of his life on the thesis that you are Satoshi, going deep on your life and family

Any response?

@jack thoughts on Sean Murray claiming that you are Satoshi, based in part on this analysis? https://x.com/financeguy74/status/1860922720323506442

. @jack I get why you tout NOSTR but curious why you also recently described X as “freedom technology” rather than say, BlueSky (given X’s centralized control and that platform’s history of censorship controversies)

Will Damus for iOS ever get zaps back? What is the status of that?

#[0]​ would be cool to do an open interview on current events —is your “end of an empire” note inspired by Balaji’s TFTC podcast appearance or…? —what’s behind your RFK support? How much of it is his recent embrace of Bitcoin? —Any plans to support RFK candidacy? Conventional wisdom in DC (which is often wrong) is that RFK is completely non-viable

Hi #[0]​, now that I’ve installed the Damus desktop app, I’m hoping we can conduct another open NOSTR interview. 1. Between NOSTR, Bitcoin, Signal, Bluesky, open source LLMs, etc. … is open source code becoming a more important part of the internet? … or is there no real trend here? 2. Are there other open-source projects you keep a close eye on? 3. You’ve said you regret that Twitter became a company instead of an open protocol. But was an open protocol a viable path 17 years ago? Have there been changes since then that make open-source a more viable model for more things? (I ask because I see so much activity on Discord and GitHub to support these open-source projects, and imagine the sheer volume and quality of coordinated human activity going into open-source development must be much greater today than even a few years ago) 4. Are there political and policy implications if we’re entering a world in which more software is open-source? How do you think about that? 5. Where in the physical world do you spend most of your time these days? 6. How do you think about the relationship between NOSTR and BlueSky? Are they competitors? complementary? Thanks for giving these a look —Ben

Over on Twitter, the experience is degrading

Yesterday, #[0]​ campaign sent me the WRONG pubkey for his NOSTR account The CORRECT pubkey is: npub1hq0kkf67h5n63uz0l5zac94un73jnjudn3ryh3aahagx3qvwq0qq8wf9mp

The Kennedy campaign has confirmed to me that #[0]​ is in fact on NOSTR with the following PubKey: npub1hq0kkf67h5n63uz0l5zac94u73jnjudn3ryh3aahagx3qvwq0qq8wf9mp

Last three times I’ve found someone’s public key on Twitter and searched for it in Damus, the search has failed to turn up any results. Anyone know what’s going on?
