The modern internet is no longer designed to inform you. It's designed to dissolve your ability to think clearly.
It is not the lack of discipline that makes you distracted, you are in the machine that is optimised for brainrot.

AI is a bubble.
AI right now is loud.
“AI powered” this, “AI powered” that.
AI is a buzz word, a marketing hype,
a shiny sticker slapped onto products to sell.
The ‘bubble’ is not the technology itself,
it is the attention economy around it.
Databases were once exciting, now boring.
Search engines were once magical, now assumed.
Cloud computing were once exotic,
now is invisible until it breaks the internet.
AI will stop being a bubble,
when AI is invisible,
when AI is taken for granted,
when AI is boring.

I’ve been putting together http://altweb.space, a small collection of alternatives.
Not really aiming to “replace everything”, more like “here are other things out there, if you’re curious.”

Code & Codex started as a Substack newsletter.
It went quiet for a while. I’m restarting it with a different publishing strategy.
Substack is no longer the center, it’s just one distribution point. Dispatches are archived at jshamsul.com, mirrored on-chain via Paragraph, and relayed across Nostr.
For Nostr specifically: essays are published here as long-form notes.
I’m also reposting older dispatches so they live in the relay network.
Just an experiment in permanence, redundancy, and open distribution.

The elites, those in power, prefer a culture war,
race vs. race, religion vs. religion,..
or even a gender war, men vs. women,..
Anything but a class war: the poor vs the rich.
Political actors and social media platforms will amplify cultural division because they are emotionally powerful and easy to weaponise.
Fear and hate keeps them in power.
Identity-based conflicts create a fragmented working class, and unity among the poor is the elites’ biggest threat.

Thanks! I might have announced it a bit too early, 😅

I might have jumped the gun on announcing Satslot a bit too early.
The plan was to follow up with a few social media posts to build momentum. I was planning to create a press kit, and reach out to bloggers, and content creators in this niche.
I wanted to spread the word across platforms, but something came up at work.
That said, I’m picking things back up next week. There are still a few UI tweaks I’m refining. I am working on this feature that lets you download the entire Grid as a single collage image. Think of it as a kind of visual snapshot of Satslot’s evolution over time.
In the meantime, I’m thrilled to see a few slots already claimed. You are the true early Satslot owners. Thank you for being part of the beginning.
I don’t have a press kit ready yet, but here’s a blog post that goes deeper into what Satslot is all about:

Announcing Satslot,
32 by 32 Grid, etched by Lightning.
https://satslot.com
Remember the Million Dollar Homepage?
Back in 2005, Alex Tew built a website that consist of a million pixel arranged in a 1000×1000 pixel grid. Each 10×10 block of pixels is sold with $1 per pixel, minimum price was $100.
I wanted to make something similar, but instead of 1 million dollar, I wanted 100 million Sats, the equivalent of 1 Bitcoin.
That’s how Satslot was born.
Inspired by Million Dollar Homepage, Satslot is a digital canvas consist of 32 by 32 square, each called a ‘slot’.
Every slot can be acquired via Lightning payments, starting at 1,000 sats for the first 32 slots. The price increases with every batch of 32.
Once you secure a slot, you can upload an image, name it, link to a website, and write a brief description, and you can update it anytime you want.
To me, this is part art experiment and part tech experiment. I want to see what happens when the internet paints together, one slot at a time.
It might turn into chaos, hopefully there’s beauty in that chaos.
I’ll post more details soon.

Understanding precedes automation.

You can make Machines can classify billions of images, but you must first understand how to classify a single image.
Automation scales what you already understand.

Government shutting down social media during a major crisis is always counter-productive. Doing a social media blackout is the worst decision to make.
Suddenly, the everyday social media users who are online only to get their memes, read artists gossips, buy product from their favourite influencers, get exposed to the crisis.
Social media is a pressure valve, people use it for distraction, venting, and processing. When you remove it, the anger and frustration spills into the streets.
The ruling government can try to take control of the narrative by flooding social media with counterpoints, or bringing up trivial issues to divert the people attention. But this needs to be done skilfully, as they will have to go against the algorithm.
When social media algorithm prioritise outrage and sensationalism to gain virality, any content that tries to calm the narrative will struggle to gain traction.
Worse still, when these algorithms that power your social media feeds are actively being manipulated, by certain people (perhaps a foreign government),.. who have access to manipulate it,.. who have a lot to gain from the destabilisation of the government that they are not in favour of.
I can’t expect everyone to leave the comfort of the familiar social media that they are all currently on. I cannot tell everyone to just start sending Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays.
But one advice that someone wiser once give me is this, when you see something starts to pop up online and everywhere, always ask yourself, “why am I seeing this now?”

Previously I have wrote why I think Jack Dorsey is not Satoshi Nakamoto. Here is another point I would like to add to it.
Satoshi Nakamoto not only wrote the Bitcoin whitepaper, he actually wrote the code for the initial implementation of Bitcoin. He authored the whitepaper and coded the implementation.
It’s not like @npub1sg6…f63m wrote a whitepaper for a peer-to-peer messaging application that operates over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) mesh networks, and then wrote the initial code that implements it.

Ads sell not the product's character, but the character of the consumer of the product.

Is there a “go-fund-me” type of service that using #nostr and lightning ⚡️?
Like one can set a fund goal and people can zap ⚡️ to that goal.
Or is anybody building this?

Trying to understand what is Trump’s plan with the tariff. Let's say that they could bring manufacturing back to the U.S. what’s next? How would the U.S. get the rest of the world to buy from them when there are cheaper options right next door?
To me, it made perfect sense that for a company like Apple for example, to have their iPhones come out from a factory in China, have it transported and sell to the rest of Asia, rather than having their iPhones come out from a factory in the U.S. and ship it to the rest of Asia, or Europe, or rest of the world.
Isn’t it better to produce the thing that your buyer wants to buy, closer to the buyer itself so you can transport it to them faster, and cheaper?
Unless the end goal is not just to have the world buying from the U.S. but also to stop the world buying from China. How do you do that?

I recently re-read William Gibson’s Neuromancer and Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash. Reading both of this book in today’s context gives a different prespective.
A short post where I compare the tech mentioned in the two books with what we already have now.

On Nostr, “repost” I think is better than “likes”. Since there is not much of a discovery algorithm (which I think is preferable) — “liking” a note does not bring much value.
“Repost” gives the note the chance to reach more people, and also introduces new accounts to users.
This feels like the early days of Tumblr, where “reblog” was the main thing. “Reblog” allows the post to get more exposure.

In 1786, Benjamin Franklin observed that Americans were so busy reading newspapers and pamphlets that they scarcely had time for books.
Alexis de Tocqueville took note of this fact in his Democracy in America, published in 1835: "In America, parties do not write books to combat each other's opinions, but pamphlets, which are circulated for a day with incredible rapidity and then expire."
Both passage is from “Amusing Ourselves to Death” by Neil Postman first published in 1985
Few centuries later, it is "Tweets" and "TikTok videos" that has taken over the main form of discourse. Headlines over headlines, video snippets over snippets.
As long-form writing fades from digital culture and ‘memeified’ short-form content takes center stage, the seriousness, clarity, and above all, the value of public discourse dangerously declines.

I try. I made sure to repost here what I post on other platform X. Just that most of the time Nostr feel a bit too bitcoin centric. Just need to have more people using this.

Swap whatever left to BTC? Or hodl?
