Just got my moltbot up and running... its helping me with my presentation for tomorrow at Plan B. We're jsut chatting while i watch it put slides together from the speech i recorded as an episode and i tell it what to fix or do different, it helped me break it down into bullet points and put it in order, and I gave it backgrounds created by my designer and we're just going to town 🤣 I'm not even joking this shit is kinda fucking insane. PSA ! 🚨🚨 ISOLATE EVERYTHING if you are going to use this, seriously not a joke. don't you dare give it direct access to your accounts, jsut forward everything to *its* email and calendar, etc. I'm going to even isolate it on my home network

I'm LITERALLY running it right now as of like 30 minutes ago and its legit kinda fucking wild

You're actually correct, lo.l. I conflated 2 diff videos and never watched the one i renoted without realizing. He was literally answering the point I brought up in the video

I tottally didn't watch the video i reposted. I had watched the demo and then renoted this one thinking it was the other apparently. The idea of using this as the way to favorite a driver (the very thing Lyft and Uber wont let you do) is fucking amazing. It's literally the way to *get around* the atomic network problem by letting you make your own. Yeah my comment is completely off and this is such a great idea! Kudos to actually addressing this very thing 🔥

I literally posted because it WAS cool. I made a note about trying to build up network effects to help make it succeed.

One thing you need to understand more than ANYTHING else if you want this idea to work: YOU NEED ONE SUSTAINABLE NETWORK. Do not try to get more driers or adoption everywhere at once. Do ONE city and try to get a threshold where there are enough available drivers and users to actually be sustainable by itself. Then branch out. This will take a very direct and concerted effort though. I would read The Cold Start Problem by Andrew Chen if you want a view of the network effects this is up against. It would be amazing to see something like this succeed, but I think the hard part isn’t building the app, imo.

What if the shit youre doing is pretty dope though? 🤣

lol, in what world do bitcoiners offer no "counter opinion?" Your other point is valid although i think it misses the point, but in my experience, bitcoiners are the most disagreeable people on the planet - with others and among their own 🤣

I think looking back will reveal the time we are living through to be a long political and economic depression that began around 2010.

I need to push the fix for the hypercores bloating. There’s a part of the cleanup after delivery that gets hung up sometimes and uses up extra space that it doesn’t need to. I have been meaning to get that fixed but we’ve been working on a refactor. Keep an eye out and update when the new versions drop. Right now this is still super alpha so lots will change.

I love anti-Ai takes. What are some of your best ones? 😆

This is because they *are* using a fish eye lens. It will appear concave and curve the opposite way if your straight line is below the halfway mark of the lens. I can take a wide lens and make any curved object or straight line appear convex or concave or straight depending on where I place the lens in relation. This doesn’t really give us anything of value to say one way or the other. They are obviously using a wide lens if you just look at the close up objects and try to draw straight lines.

This is exactly why we are going to win. 🔥🔥 Things like Nostr, Bitcoin and Lightning SDKs, Peardrive core, etc are going to make it even easier to do secure authentication, simple monetary integrations, and simple sovereign hosting or private connections. This was VIBE CODED people! Even though I’ve not shared our many iterations, I’ve had this exact experience. Getting a basic tool for P2P sharing working in a few hours and then just fixing quirks and UI stuff for a few days to make it feel cleaner. Things like the Pear stack, and Iroh, and Holesail (fyi drop Tailscale and just use Holesail here, much simpler UX) are huge leaps forward in the ability to self host these things. My hope as well is that Peardrive core makes this so utterly simple to build with that amateur coders could use it in a way that feels no different than simple web development. And what you can do when you unleash people to create anything they can imagine is just wild. We are going to win, but we will be waiting for it to happen until everyone reading this post realizes that YOU CAN JUST BUILD THINGS!

Dude… calm down it’s just funny.

Somebody is running a local LLM that hit the context wall and went delusional 🤣

So I barely pay attention to X anymore but I do still post regularly. I muted a post the other day that was doing numbers and found out from an Audionaut that Elon had RT’d it. Suddenly it makes a lot more sense 😆

There's an intuitively obvious way to know beyond reasonable doubt that the daycare situation is fraud: If you actually had a legitimate business and someone with 1M+ followers came to your establishment with a camera to post online, you'd be overjoyed with the opportunity to show them around or brag about your daycare. Real business owners pay 10s of thousands of dollars for that kind of exposure. The only reason you would lock down, get vicious, defensive, or violent, is because you got caught in a lie. Period.
