Unfortunately they are actually LATE to this party. Microsoft did this way worse almost a year ago and their Ai integration is this same thing. Google is doing this aggressively as well. Many just don’t realize that this is how all their great “Ai features” are being provided. They are letting the Ai literally read and catalog everything on their device at all times.

It was the canary in the coal mine for how bad it was gonna be.

I am. Just not on centralized Ai run by major platforms.

Then your previous statement doesn’t make any sense, imo. It doesn’t decrypt anything and because you read it on your device doesn’t suggest that it wasn’t an encrypted communication. So yes, it was encrypted, but also yes, the Ai gets around it by reading it at the same time you do.

Ai is becoming the most invasive surveillance tool ever, it’s explicitly bypassing all encrypted communications, sandboxing, and privacy implementations so that it has “the right context.” It is literally reading passwords off your screen. For a little bit of convenience, we are losing literally every major barrier we have built for privacy and security in one swing.

Correct. The one caveat being that predictive text is at least entirely local. The Ai stuff definitely isn’t.

I’m gonna stop referring to the “fed’s decisions” and start exclusively calling it “our central banks new price controls.” It’s foolish that we go by their fake names instead of calling a spade a spade.

Graphene FTW

Again, this is about whether or not pools are building the blocks or not. I didn’t say DATUM would make pools small. Your point is correct, but not relevant.

You should have seen Microsoft’s implementation, they beat Apple by almost a year. In barely a few days people were finding their typed passwords in plain text in the massive context database for the Ai in the OS. And they couldn’t even turn it off at first

This is why DATUM and are the most important projects in Bitcoin. Pools who control the blocks are an enormous liability, although this attack isn’t perfectly straightforward due to the shitcoin incentive.

By an order of magnitude, the most valuable use case of LLMs has been coding. It’s another shift in our history similar to the leap from painting to photography.

It says the question was “resolved.” So what was the answer? 🤣

I need to inform you, that your plain English messages that you read in Signal aren’t encrypted while you are reading them. Ai watches your screen while you use it, it doesn’t need to decrypt anything.

You’re confusing Knots with

Any OG that thinks it’s been captured because some ETFs were launched and Wall Street wants to buy some is stupid and I hope they sell. We lose some OGs who don’t get the bigger picture every cycle. We lost way more to Bcash. Good riddance, they will readopt it anyway when they realize that the global infrastructure was always going to operate on the soundest, most accessible money, and that they let it go for literal trash. Their ignorance is, and always has been, good for the rest of us.

So #Monero is being persistently 51% attacked right now by paying miners who merge mine a shitcoin token and reorging all of the blocks produced by the rest of the network. And miners are staying because they are making like 300% what the other miners are making do to the shitcoin. Looks like they’ve had a few 6 block reorgs and it’s still just rolling like this. 🤯😬 Experiments in malicious crypto economics in real time. https://moneroconsensus.info/?s=09

People who say this like its a bad thing don't understand how to bootstrap networks. 100,000 users on a network talking about 100,000 different topics dies in a matter of days, because there's literally nobody to talk to about *your* topic and no cohesion at all in the network. 100,000 users in one community is a solid network. Look at every successful network in history, it *always* starts with an atomic, self sustaining network around a single community or purpose. - Amazon. Only sold books. - Uber, Lyft, and pretty much any rideshare service. All got a critical mass in ONE city before expanding. - Airbnb. Started exclusively and got success in San Francisco. - Napster. Started with almost exclusively music - Facebook. Exclusively Harvard students - Twitch.tv started as just one guy streaming his life and then targeted gamers. - Pinterest, focused entirely on "mom-bloggers" This list goes on and on. What he is describing is literally *the only way alternative networks are ever successful.* So contrary to the idea that this is bad, it's actually the only reason Nostr is still here. Because you can find most of the best bitcoiners, tons of great holistic lifestyle content, and cypherpunks wanting to build awesome shit. That's actually a fantastic start and we should LEAN INTO THIS MORE, not steer away from it. We do so at our own detriment if we just complain about and fail to embrace the community we DO have. - Tinder. Literally grew itself locally one frat and sorority party at a time.

If Android I’m pretty certain you can prevent that. I know someone who used one as a security camera just always plugged in

lol, I was copying the DRAKE post.

GUY SWANN SHARES A PHOTO OF HIS TRAVEL SAFE! 🔥 BEST OF ALL, HE’S NOT STUPID ENOUGH KEEP MONEY IN A CREDIT TOKEN THAT SOMEBODY ELSE WILL PRINT 3 TRILLION MORE OF THIS YEAR. (did you know twitter throttles your post if you use the word "stupid"? 🤦‍♂️ )

Why do new appliances all sound like old annoying 8 bit video games? I set the temperature on the oven and it does a little jingle like I just got a mushroom in Super Mario Brothers. This is such a dumb and pointlessly bothersome “tech” trend.

If everyone builds a project they want to see in the world, 90% of the won’t work right, or will make poor decisions, or have bad timing, but 10% of them will move us forward in a major way. And 1% of them will change the entire question of what to build and where things are going next. Just keep building, whatever you can. It’s like proof of work. Not all hashes produce blocks, but your hashes are worth the same as everyone else’s. Let’s brute force our way to the world we want to live in.
