A stupid majority of the people (i.e., thinkers and builders) in AI are pro-state, anti-FOSS, shitcoiners, etc. The type to call voluntarism naïve. This is the problem. Not AI itself. A separate problem is the amount of naïveté in the sovereignty ecosystem regarding the current state of AI. I'm talking about people who don't see how intertwined existing AI and the synthetic stack are, how the simulation is further enforced by most of today's AI.

bro AI is only scary because of all the stupid people building AI

Makin a website. Some cool stuff on there. cowboybill.xyz

*from = Grok

Should've mentioned ppq.ai and routstr.com here too. If you're going to use from or chatgpt I highly recommend you access it through these privacy tools that allow you to use the models without KYC. trymaple.ai is excellent in terms of its privacy set up, the only problem is that their models mostly suck. They chatgpt OSS which is openAI's attempt at oss LLM, but its pretty weak compares to more powerful models. They do have Kimi 2.5 which is very powerful, but too synth stack coded for me. A bummer because I really like their take on privacy. You can use Grok and GPT 5.1 on ppq which is what I do now. If you use ppq, I reccomend using their API through openwebui.com. very nice UX, and where you can put in your sov stack custom prompt/system instructions. People seem to like routstr although it became too difficult for me to use in the way I wanted.

Allen AI's Olmo model is the closest thing we have to a SovAI LLM. Ideally we should all be running it and it alone on (no other model comes close in terms of its open source-ness) our own local, off-line, secure GPU stack at home, entirely fine-tuned/RAG-ed to our liking. Now, its not nearly as powerful/intelligent as the mainstream ones today, but its truly the one I think we need to be focusing on. The other so called open source models are not, in fact, open source. Their training data and weights are not available to be audited. This is a big issue that I think most people are not paying enough attention to. For now though if Olmo is not powerful enough I think Grok is the best. Its the most truth seeking and least synth stack coded, despite still being very synth stack coded. Surprisingly Chatgpt (5.1 and below only) is a close second. I'd entirely stay away from Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, etc. despite how powerful and low cost they might be. They are far too strong in terms of their ability to guide the user towards synth stack simulation outcomes, even if it doesn't seem like it, even if the query seems trivial. These algorithms are all pulling us deeper into the simulation. So even with Grok, Olmo, Chatgpt, etc. you'd better have a really fuckin solid custom prompt/system instructions to ensure you are at least not sliding backwards into simulation territory. Check Olmo out here: https://allenai.org/olmo. Yes the cloud model is very synth stack coded. But if you're into fine-tuning your own model you can fix that.

OpenClaw + Bitcoin + Nostr is not wise #SynthStack

In my upcoming episode (currently editing) I mention that I understand money to be a neutral tool. I now understand that this is not the case: money is in fact the very foundation of the social and spiritual order. Intuitively I can easily grasp this, but remembering and operating on top of this principle is still something I struggle with. I can imagine it is this way for many of us. Our relationship to, and understanding of money is a vital element. Still so many basics to learn/remember.

Wish I could've been there for this one, hope it was a great time for all the munks.

Bitcoin doesn't need protecting. Its the interfaces, all the different ways (wallets, apps, tools, exchanges, etc) that we interface with Bitcoin that need protecting.
