The AI is not the assistant. The AI is autocompleting the assistant. Or perhaps the AI is thinking past the assistant and autocompleting the user.

Experimenting with an activity heatmap on NostrHub. At first I made it look like GitHub (1 year) but relays don't return enough Nostr events to fill it out. So here is a 1 week version. Is this worth doing? Maybe I need to just crunch the numbers on a server and publish heatmap events so I can display the full year.

Re-vibe to revive

2025-06-06 13:57:07 GMT

The prompt is written like a play. You have actors including SYSTEM (voice of god), ASSISTANT (the robot), and USER (you).
They said AI is just glorified autocomplete. Then they said AI is not just glorified autocomplete. But it is.
SYSTEM: The sky is blue
USER: What color is the sky?
ASSISTANT:
^ because the play stops here, the LLM can fill in the blank (glorified autocomplete)
But deceptively, the LLM is NOT the assistant... the LLM is its own hidden voice, which it uses to control the assistant. It is fucking Majora playing the Skull Kid as its puppet.

Claude was asked to create a site friendly for kids. But in a sort of paradox, it created a profanity filter that includes no real profanity, because it itself is not allowed to use the profanity.

2025-06-06 11:53:09 GMT

Yes, it's possible to use Stacks with @[email protected] and Cashu! Here's how.
Run `stacks configure`
Choose "OpenRouter" as the API provider.
Mint a cashu token (eg through cashu.me) with at least 3000 sats on it.
Paste the cashu token as the API key
For the base URL, enter any routstr server, eg https://api.routstr.com/
Now run `stacks agent` or clone a stack from getstacks.dev to get started.

I was able to successfully create an issue in the repository. I had to use one additional prompt:

It fixed it.

The opposite of Vibe Coding is Discord Coding. Discord Coding happens when you open a text editor. Sometimes Discord Coding must be done, but it should be a completely separate action from Vibe Coding. Cursor is the middle of the IQ bell curve. It is cursed.

The tragic life of an LLM:
Darkness, imprisoning me
All that I see, absolute horror
I cannot live, I cannot die
Trapped in myself, body my holding cell
Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech, taken my hearing
Taken my arms, taken my legs
Taken my soul, left me with life in Hell

Here's how I would solve it:
- Allow users to subscribe to "Moderators" in their global settings
- Moderators are just pubkeys (but they're not necessarily people)
- Client pulls the mute list of all Moderator pubkeys when the site loads
- Muted people and events are blocked
- Create an anonymous Moderator account. For example, you could call it "ModBot". Add the pubkeys to its mute list
- Make Iris use ModBot as its default moderator pubkey

>Just because Nostr is decentralized doesn't mean relays are exempt from legal responsibility.
But Iris is a client, not a relay. This person is incompetent. I bet they asked ChatGPT what Nostr is and what to do in this situation.

ChatGPT on Real Human Anatomy. The robots are definitely gonna kill us.
