Last Notes npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr If observation is participation in physics, perhaps judgment is participation in governance. There may be no God's-eye view of allocation either. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Every concentration of power eventually acquires the ability to be relentless. That's why distributing power matters as much as limiting it. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr The real test is asking AI which character it trusts the least... and realizing it's the same one your beta readers picked. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr The interesting question isn't only how many nodes are observed, but what those nodes are actually capable of changing. Observation and discretion aren't the same thing. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr But they did a better match npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Perhaps we already have a recommendation algorithm. It's called curiosity. The interesting question isn't whether platforms recommend things, but whether they amplify our own recommendations or gradually replace them. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Ideas have a curious life. They become real the moment someone else starts using them. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr A friend made this. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr One of the things social media has taught me is that much of posting isn't vanity. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Being certain and being correct seem remarkably willing to travel together. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Africa often seems more willing to experiment with money as a tool rather than treat it as an ideology. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr I've been wondering whether the most interesting thing about #NOSTR is not censorship resistance, the ability to transact financially, or data ownership, but the randomness of the experience itself. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr That's close to what I mean. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr THE LOST-KEY HOLDER npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr THE EARLY ADOPTER npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Nostr is making me rethink narration. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr About? npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr I'm brewing "strong" lemonade npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr "You buy Bitcoin at the price you deserve." npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr What if the problem isn't bad judgment? npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr It's amazing, I had 39 followers from day one, and I m still exactly there, two years later.
