00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,680
Welcome back, Radio Detox. Going to do something completely different this week. So what I'm going

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:10,840
to do, since I am short on time, is we're going to call this a feed warmer. Okay, this is actually

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:15,600
going to be a little cross promo. I'm going to promote my other podcast. So I have right now at

4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,080
the moment, let's just say I have three at the moment. So let's just say this is Radio Detox

5
00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:24,540
and I'm going to promote my other podcast, Soapbox Sessions, which is me and Derek Ross

6
00:00:24,540 --> 00:00:32,040
talking about really nerdy shit. But I like this week's episode, especially because I'm giving him

7
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:37,740
a lot of crap. Okay. So we're going to talk about the new ditto from Soapbox on this episode. We're

8
00:00:37,740 --> 00:00:42,780
going to talk about when AI goes to war, which I think is a really stupid idea. Not that war itself

9
00:00:42,780 --> 00:00:46,980
isn't a stupid idea, but like we don't need to be high tech. Okay. We just don't need to do any of

10
00:00:46,980 --> 00:00:50,300
this. But anyway, that's like a whole other tangent you can hear on Soapbox Sessions. So

11
00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:57,300
feed warmer edition latest episode of soapbox sessions on radio detox this week why your girl

12
00:00:57,300 --> 00:01:04,040
short on time i just don't have any this week so and i want another week to promote the podcast that

13
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,500
i did last week with ivy loomy so if you're not into soapbox sessions and you haven't listened to

14
00:01:08,500 --> 00:01:13,920
last week's episode just jump off and listen to that listen to ivy loomy and zap her music and

15
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:19,260
boost her music and boost her campaign on geyser fund okay because i'm short on time because at

16
00:01:19,260 --> 00:01:23,620
The moment we're about to kick off the Wrigley block party, by the time this is released,

17
00:01:23,620 --> 00:01:27,320
the only way that you can get into the block party is going to be with your solo miner.

18
00:01:27,500 --> 00:01:31,940
So if you got an ASIC, you got a solo Satoshi, whatever you got, you got a NerdQX, whatever,

19
00:01:32,380 --> 00:01:33,360
bring it to the party.

20
00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:34,060
Okay.

21
00:01:34,140 --> 00:01:37,260
You can find that info on the Wrigley Noster or the Wrigley Twitter.

22
00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:37,680
Okay.

23
00:01:37,740 --> 00:01:42,220
The other reason I'm short on time is we're getting ready for the big party in DC on Sunday.

24
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,480
We've got the Runster District 5K and that's going to be a great K race.

25
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,720
It's definitely Bitcoin and Nostra friendly.

26
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,740
But if you're a normie and you don't know about any of this stuff, you can still join the Runster District 5K.

27
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,980
Maybe make a little money for charity.

28
00:01:58,420 --> 00:01:59,200
That's the goal.

29
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,300
And then we're going to have this nice party at PubKey DC right afterwards.

30
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,520
See who wins the most charity money.

31
00:02:06,980 --> 00:02:12,520
The most runners, you know, for the charity teams, that's how the team is going to win the money, right?

32
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:13,560
So it could be HRF.

33
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:14,700
It could be Chimes International.

34
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,460
It could be ALS Network.

35
00:02:16,460 --> 00:02:20,640
could be one of those guys. So sign up for the run, help your favorite charity, pick a charity,

36
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:26,380
and help them win the money. Then afterwards, or even if you don't run and you're just like,

37
00:02:26,460 --> 00:02:30,020
hey, I want to have a Sunday with like some burgers and some drink specials, head over to

38
00:02:30,020 --> 00:02:34,900
PubKey. Doors open at 10. We've got a great show for you at PubKey. We're going to have my friend

39
00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:42,480
David Tarr. He just dropped new music today. So his new music is on Fountain and it's on Wave

40
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:48,440
Lake and it's an EP that he just dropped called The Analog. I haven't had time to listen yet. So

41
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,340
I need to do like a whole episode about that. But he is going to do it. He's just going to do it for

42
00:02:52,340 --> 00:02:58,320
me. I'm handing the reins of Radio Detox over to David Tarr on Sunday in D.C. at PubKey. He's going

43
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:03,220
to do live music. He's going to talk about his new EP. He's going to play his new music, your first

44
00:03:03,220 --> 00:03:08,580
chance to see it live. And that's going to be Sunday in D.C. He's going to be joined by Ainsley

45
00:03:08,580 --> 00:03:12,980
Katie Costello, your first artist who got a million sats over on Wave Lake.

46
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:14,080
She's going to perform.

47
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:17,060
Catherine, our favorite soul singer.

48
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,700
God, I can't say she's our favorite because I love Kavinia too.

49
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,940
But one of our favorite soul singers in the space.

50
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,180
Okay, Kavinia, I love you.

51
00:03:23,260 --> 00:03:23,900
Catherine, I love you.

52
00:03:23,940 --> 00:03:31,120
But you can see Catherine this Sunday in Washington, D.C., right after the Runster District 5K at PubKey.

53
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,700
Okay, so go do that.

54
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,540
Okay, and we're going to have a Gen Z panel.

55
00:03:34,740 --> 00:03:37,100
We're going to have David ask the ladies questions.

56
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:41,940
He's going to talk to Ainsley and Catherine about what it's like to be a Gen Z in Bitcoin

57
00:03:41,940 --> 00:03:45,600
and adopting new technology and putting your music on wave, like putting your music on

58
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:45,800
fountain.

59
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,720
He's the perfect person to ask that because he's doing it himself.

60
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:50,720
The Runster District 5K.

61
00:03:51,020 --> 00:03:54,020
We find out who wins the race, which charity wins the race.

62
00:03:54,260 --> 00:03:56,460
We get new music performed by David Tarr.

63
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,220
You get your favorites from Ainsley Costello.

64
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,380
You get your favorites from Catherine, Jim Costello.

65
00:04:01,540 --> 00:04:04,600
I'm sure we can persuade him to get on stage as well.

66
00:04:04,820 --> 00:04:06,480
I will not physically be there.

67
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,620
I couldn't make the trip. That's why I've got David Tarr, the homie. He's going to take over

68
00:04:10,620 --> 00:04:14,980
the reins. So you're still going to get a lot of radio detox this weekend and the coming week.

69
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:20,460
And of course, the goal is to have a recording of what goes down at PubKey and put it on the

70
00:04:20,460 --> 00:04:26,840
podcast for next week. So we'll see you in DC. If you're on the Club Orange app, I have actually

71
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:33,200
personally zapped you today. If you are in Washington, DC or New York, got to give the

72
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,780
the shout out to Club Orange app.

73
00:04:36,060 --> 00:04:37,020
I love the GeoZaps.

74
00:04:37,140 --> 00:04:38,480
That is a great idea.

75
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,920
And if you are partaking in the block party,

76
00:04:40,980 --> 00:04:42,860
I probably zapped you today too from Wrigley.

77
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,400
So your turn to zap.

78
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,200
Listen, zap.

79
00:04:46,300 --> 00:04:47,180
This particular episode,

80
00:04:47,180 --> 00:04:48,540
you're just zapping me and Derek.

81
00:04:49,020 --> 00:04:51,240
Like you don't have to zap this episode

82
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,740
because again, this is the feed warmer.

83
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,720
I'm letting Soapbox Sessions have Radio Detox

84
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:56,860
for the week, okay?

85
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,920
But go, if you want to hear some new music,

86
00:04:59,260 --> 00:05:01,280
Ivy Luby, support her.

87
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:02,520
Support her on Radio Detox.

88
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:08,040
support her on Geyser Fund, support her by following her on Nostra, following her on Twitter.

89
00:05:08,180 --> 00:05:12,860
I think you get the idea. So without further ado, you can listen to my other podcast, my other,

90
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,980
other podcast. There's about to be, let me just tell you something, okay? As we're readying the

91
00:05:16,980 --> 00:05:22,760
drop of ditto for the world, not just the testing group, but for the world, as we ready that drop,

92
00:05:22,820 --> 00:05:29,400
we're also readying something else. So there's just maybe like a fourth way for you to get your

93
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:35,320
overdose of my big smart Bitcoin nostrum mouth. Okay. So I'm not ready to announce that yet.

94
00:05:35,540 --> 00:05:40,620
And there is, if you really dig, you can find my other, other podcast, the meditation podcast. Okay.

95
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,780
Which like, let me just have four podcasts all of a sudden. So yeah, listen to Soapbox sessions,

96
00:05:45,900 --> 00:05:50,060
listen to Radio Detox or don't, if you don't like meditation, don't listen to the, that one either.

97
00:05:50,180 --> 00:05:55,540
But hopefully if you listen to Soapbox sessions that I'm putting on the feed, hopefully you'll

98
00:05:55,540 --> 00:06:00,260
check out Ditto and be a tester because obviously if you're here listening to Radio Detox, you are

99
00:06:00,260 --> 00:06:04,180
into music, you're into new technology, maybe you're even a creator yourself and you're looking

100
00:06:04,180 --> 00:06:09,740
for a better way to just kind of chill with your audience. You know, Ditto is definitely going to

101
00:06:09,740 --> 00:06:14,820
be a big, huge part of that. And I'll just let me and Derek take it over now. Welcome to the

102
00:06:14,820 --> 00:06:20,020
Soapbox Sessions. Imagine this, an open and free internet where voices are never silenced,

103
00:06:20,020 --> 00:06:25,260
where causes aren't shadow banned, and where no one can be deplatformed. It's real, it's here,

104
00:06:25,260 --> 00:06:30,840
and it's happening on Noster. So what exactly is Noster? It's a worldwide community of everyday

105
00:06:30,840 --> 00:06:35,300
people working to decentralize the internet. On Noster, you can build websites, communities,

106
00:06:35,540 --> 00:06:40,380
social networks, apps, and more. One login works everywhere, you own it, and no one can take it

107
00:06:40,380 --> 00:06:46,000
away. No more juggling dozens of platforms, chasing audiences, or managing a giant password list.

108
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:51,460
And the cherry on top? Noster allows for built-in digital payments that can come from anywhere in

109
00:06:51,460 --> 00:06:56,640
the world. On Noster, value flows as freely as ideas. We're hooked on decentralizing the web,

110
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:01,440
and we think you will be too. So now let's hear from your hosts, Derek Ross and Heather Larson,

111
00:07:01,580 --> 00:07:07,660
who are working to grow Noster one vibe at a time. Welcome back to Soapbox Sessions. Today

112
00:07:07,660 --> 00:07:13,080
is March 10th, 2026, and we're here with your weekly dose of all things decentralized social

113
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:18,600
and AI. Soapbox Sessions is our soapbox about what's new, what's cool, and what's coming.

114
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:30,240
We want to make it easy to understand and keep up with everything happening in the decentralized world of social communication and AI as we work to rebuild the internet one brick at a time.

115
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:31,340
Yeah, have we done it yet?

116
00:07:31,460 --> 00:07:32,200
Is it complete?

117
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,300
Did we build a new wall of internet?

118
00:07:34,820 --> 00:07:38,020
It's a series of tubes.

119
00:07:38,340 --> 00:07:39,540
I shouldn't have said bricks.

120
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:40,580
It's a series of tubes.

121
00:07:40,580 --> 00:07:43,760
Wait, are we building or are we deconstructing?

122
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:44,980
Are we reconstructing?

123
00:07:45,060 --> 00:07:46,300
Are we remodeling maybe?

124
00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:49,820
a better way to say the thing that we are doing to the interwebs.

125
00:07:49,820 --> 00:07:52,000
I like to say it's a remodel.

126
00:07:52,220 --> 00:07:53,640
I like the remodel, right?

127
00:07:53,780 --> 00:07:56,080
Because we're not totally tearing it down.

128
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,140
It's still there.

129
00:07:58,520 --> 00:07:59,440
Starting over.

130
00:07:59,780 --> 00:08:00,640
It's still there.

131
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,760
The tubes and the bricks are still there.

132
00:08:02,820 --> 00:08:04,320
Just getting fresh coats of paint.

133
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:05,800
New ways of thinking.

134
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,160
New ways of doing things.

135
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:08,200
Yeah.

136
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:09,040
New tubes.

137
00:08:10,100 --> 00:08:12,100
We all decided we hated big tech.

138
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,920
And decided we could do better with our smart brains.

139
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:20,780
that can code things and then robots that can code things so let's let's lfg so do you know what

140
00:08:20,780 --> 00:08:25,000
the the whole like series of tubes is like why i keep saying that there's like an article from

141
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,480
like 20 years ago where some politician was talking about what is the internet and he described

142
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:37,060
he described it as a series of tubes tube so like a subway it's an inside nerd joke i'm trying to

143
00:08:37,060 --> 00:08:42,900
like the bart train in the bay area series of tubes the in the information super tube way

144
00:08:42,900 --> 00:08:45,380
Remember when information superhighway was the buzzword?

145
00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:47,080
It's the information superhighway.

146
00:08:47,260 --> 00:08:48,420
That was the buzzword, yeah.

147
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:50,120
It was the information superhighway.

148
00:08:50,340 --> 00:08:50,960
Thank you, Al Gore.

149
00:08:51,140 --> 00:08:52,720
We appreciate you doing that.

150
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:53,100
Oh, my God.

151
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:54,640
Good times.

152
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:55,300
Oh, man.

153
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:56,040
The 90s, though.

154
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:56,840
I'm still nostalgic.

155
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:57,820
I know.

156
00:08:58,180 --> 00:08:58,640
It's okay.

157
00:08:58,720 --> 00:08:59,540
You got a little gray in the beard.

158
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,380
Well, I think nostalgia sells, right?

159
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,140
Like, we want to go back to when things were better.

160
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:10,700
And I think version one of the web was better.

161
00:09:10,700 --> 00:09:11,140
Oh, yeah.

162
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:12,480
Like, give me blinkies.

163
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,720
Well, version one of the web was better for ownership.

164
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,220
It was better for a lot of things.

165
00:09:16,220 --> 00:09:18,400
It was better for decentralization.

166
00:09:18,820 --> 00:09:19,060
Yeah.

167
00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:21,280
I wish I could remember all of the things.

168
00:09:21,780 --> 00:09:23,700
I'm sure I made friends on MySpace.

169
00:09:24,100 --> 00:09:26,500
Like, I'm sure I had the freedom to make friends on MySpace

170
00:09:26,500 --> 00:09:30,080
and make a glittery HTML background, et cetera, et cetera.

171
00:09:30,260 --> 00:09:32,220
I just really expressed myself on the internet.

172
00:09:32,340 --> 00:09:33,520
And then I don't know what happened

173
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,240
because I was drinking a lot back then.

174
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:36,300
Thankfully, so we're now.

175
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,360
But MySpace faded into Facebook or Twitter.

176
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:46,140
or like I don't know. It was a moment that I don't know where I fell out of love and stopped

177
00:09:46,140 --> 00:09:51,060
logging into MySpace. I think it became uncool at some point, but it was cool to be on Facebook,

178
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:56,540
like do a farm fill, which in retrospect, it became uncool. And then you joined Facebook

179
00:09:56,540 --> 00:10:01,860
because that was the place that was cool. And now we want it back because we didn't know what we had

180
00:10:01,860 --> 00:10:08,220
until it was gone. We need to make it cool. Well, maybe that needs to be the slogan. Make the internet

181
00:10:08,220 --> 00:10:13,480
cool again make the internet cool yeah that won't fit on social media make it fit on a bumper sticker

182
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:20,940
derrick marketing make make internet cool again that'll fit on a hat make internet cool again

183
00:10:20,940 --> 00:10:27,000
make micaw cool again there's all sorts of things you could make internet cool again micah there we

184
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,260
go we can have micah hats we'll hand them out at conferences but we'll go to things and be like

185
00:10:31,260 --> 00:10:35,980
you got a micah hat and they'll be like what are you you know a mega no i picture it i picture it

186
00:10:35,980 --> 00:10:39,620
Being purple, like Nostra purple with white letters.

187
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:39,980
With some orange.

188
00:10:39,980 --> 00:10:41,680
It has to be those colors.

189
00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:41,880
Orange trim.

190
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,540
Kind of like the Phoenix Suns colors.

191
00:10:43,700 --> 00:10:44,560
You can't go wrong.

192
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,920
Unless you're Dylan Brooks getting a DUI.

193
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,940
You know, my wife, she likes to crochet.

194
00:10:49,340 --> 00:10:54,600
She made me a Nostra purple and Bitcoin orange hat.

195
00:10:54,820 --> 00:10:59,140
And every time I wear it, I'm like, people are going to think I like the Phoenix Suns.

196
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,340
Well, you do like the Phoenix Suns.

197
00:11:02,660 --> 00:11:03,100
Derek.

198
00:11:03,100 --> 00:11:06,640
I just don't care about basketball

199
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:07,620
I just don't

200
00:11:07,620 --> 00:11:09,680
You don't care about the sports ball I guess

201
00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:11,100
You're not a sports ball person

202
00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:15,420
It depends on the sports ball

203
00:11:15,420 --> 00:11:16,220
This sport

204
00:11:16,220 --> 00:11:17,980
Oh I can watch golf too

205
00:11:17,980 --> 00:11:20,220
There's a sport on TV

206
00:11:20,220 --> 00:11:23,340
The only sports I generally used to care about

207
00:11:23,340 --> 00:11:24,620
Was golf

208
00:11:24,620 --> 00:11:26,660
And local Penn State football

209
00:11:26,660 --> 00:11:27,700
That's pretty much about it

210
00:11:27,700 --> 00:11:29,760
Local basketball in Wichita

211
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:30,800
Shockers baby

212
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:35,620
that would that would oh i won't make the shocker sign on the podcast but you can imagine what that

213
00:11:35,620 --> 00:11:40,700
hand signal is but yeah which tough stage shocker basketball men's shocker basketball oh my god

214
00:11:40,700 --> 00:11:46,140
the best best games you'll ever go to best basketball game i'm curious shockers we don't

215
00:11:46,140 --> 00:11:50,980
want to get in trouble with the boss if i have to explain it to you you're like a boy scout no

216
00:11:50,980 --> 00:12:01,380
no no Derek was not a frat boy Derek Warrick was an innocent I know what that is I know what that

217
00:12:01,380 --> 00:12:09,140
is I just didn't know that like that was the same sign that they used for basketball yes we were

218
00:12:09,140 --> 00:12:14,860
foul in which a student section would just sit there and be like the hand signals so yeah anyway

219
00:12:14,860 --> 00:12:20,780
now you need to you need to edit that out we're gonna get oh no i'm leaving that in there we're

220
00:12:20,780 --> 00:12:28,060
gonna get like we're getting banned if somebody's listening to this on fountain or whatever then you

221
00:12:28,060 --> 00:12:32,460
need to watch the part of the episode where derrick's like like freaks out like rubs his eyes

222
00:12:32,460 --> 00:12:40,160
and turns all red in the face because because i thought he was innocent no oh man this pot all

223
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,700
Right. This podcast just went into the gutter.

224
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,600
Let's pull it back. Let's pull it back.

225
00:12:44,660 --> 00:12:46,040
You were a Boy Scout though, right?

226
00:12:46,060 --> 00:12:47,760
Let's talk about some AI.

227
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,960
I was a Boy Scout until I was like 12.

228
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:50,580
Aw.

229
00:12:51,300 --> 00:12:51,780
I was 12.

230
00:12:52,100 --> 00:12:54,780
I was learning how to light fires and do first aid.

231
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,600
Little badges for his uniform.

232
00:12:56,700 --> 00:12:57,820
Oh, yeah. Little badges.

233
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,920
You know what? And to this day, I still like badges.

234
00:13:00,260 --> 00:13:02,480
I have like 300 badges on Noster.

235
00:13:03,140 --> 00:13:03,580
I know.

236
00:13:03,580 --> 00:13:04,960
I love my badges.

237
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:07,660
I was a Girl Scout or whatever.

238
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:08,780
Yeah. No, Brownies.

239
00:13:08,780 --> 00:13:13,260
you know who i was in brownies with i was in brownie shit yeah this is gonna dox me though

241
00:13:18,740 --> 00:13:26,560
oh my god this is gonna dox like where you can't do that okay i i was in brownies with the actress

242
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:32,300
busy phillips from dawson's creek we were in brownies together and uh she forgot all about

243
00:13:32,300 --> 00:13:36,020
me and like i don't know 20 years later i interviewed her on the radio and i was like

244
00:13:36,020 --> 00:13:36,620
do you remember me?

245
00:13:36,660 --> 00:13:36,940
She's like,

246
00:13:36,980 --> 00:13:37,160
no.

247
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,260
Very humbling experience.

248
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:41,500
I'm like,

249
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:41,760
yeah,

250
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,420
I thought we were friends in brownies back in the day,

251
00:13:44,540 --> 00:13:45,740
back in the day.

252
00:13:46,140 --> 00:13:46,360
Well,

253
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:47,780
if it makes you feel any better,

254
00:13:47,940 --> 00:13:49,600
I used to watch Dawson's Creek,

255
00:13:49,700 --> 00:13:51,500
but I don't know who that actress is.

256
00:13:51,700 --> 00:13:52,280
I have no clue.

257
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:52,680
That's okay.

258
00:13:52,900 --> 00:13:54,020
You would know if you saw her.

259
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:54,840
She's,

260
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,220
I think she has a talk show now.

261
00:13:56,660 --> 00:13:57,220
Like she's,

262
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,260
she's a media babe now and good for her.

263
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,540
But does she have a podcast that talks about Noster,

264
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:04,120
AI,

265
00:14:04,540 --> 00:14:04,840
decentralization,

266
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:05,980
social media?

267
00:14:06,020 --> 00:14:07,080
Well, I'm sure she's got a podcast.

268
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:07,740
She probably does.

269
00:14:07,820 --> 00:14:08,180
Probably.

270
00:14:08,380 --> 00:14:10,400
She's probably not as nerdy as you and me, bro.

271
00:14:10,740 --> 00:14:12,880
She's like, like C-list at least.

272
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,780
We're like F-list because we're nerds.

273
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,560
They'll be like, you guys can have the open source stage.

274
00:14:18,700 --> 00:14:19,820
You guys go over there.

275
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,400
You don't want to get over here on the main stage.

276
00:14:22,660 --> 00:14:23,740
Maybe that's what it is.

277
00:14:24,300 --> 00:14:28,060
That's why Nostra can't get on the main stage at Bitcoin conference.

278
00:14:29,660 --> 00:14:34,120
You know, we can only, the Nostra nerds get put on the open source stage and the side stage.

279
00:14:34,260 --> 00:14:35,000
Never the main stage.

280
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:53,298
I going to go out on a limb and say a lot of things that should make the main stage there don make the main stage there But that is a whole other bag of worms or something yeah a bag of something so let talk about a little ai news back on topic here

281
00:14:53,298 --> 00:14:59,758
we're going to ream it in from the gutter here all right so so there's been some controversy

282
00:14:59,758 --> 00:15:08,817
over the past few weeks with anthropic and the department of war also known as the department

283
00:15:08,817 --> 00:15:16,298
defense i love it the most normal people i know have signed up for ai now because of this i love

284
00:15:16,298 --> 00:15:26,178
anthropic now and so like sure well there's like 300 percent uh of people uninstalled chat gpt after

285
00:15:26,178 --> 00:15:31,558
open ai said that they would work with the pentagon and after anthropic essentially gave them the

286
00:15:31,558 --> 00:15:37,577
finger and said we're not going to give you an unredacted unfiltered uncensored unsafe version

287
00:15:37,577 --> 00:15:46,678
of Claude you can pound sand like then over the next couple days Claude became the number one app

288
00:15:46,678 --> 00:15:51,538
in Apple and Android app stores in the United States. Record downloads. It was amazing. Record

289
00:15:51,538 --> 00:15:55,337
downloads. You know and that is what you need to know about your government is that your government

290
00:15:55,337 --> 00:16:00,058
wants to surveil you and the government also doesn't even care anymore if it employs soldiers

291
00:16:00,058 --> 00:16:05,298
to kill people because it can have robots kill people and decide to kill people and it wanted

292
00:16:05,298 --> 00:16:12,197
an anthropic to do that and that is just insane that our government wanted to commandeer a private

293
00:16:12,197 --> 00:16:16,317
company to do that that should disturb everybody and it obviously did because everybody was like

294
00:16:16,317 --> 00:16:23,058
oh cool we align now with anthropic which is very telling well the u.s government has now officially

295
00:16:23,058 --> 00:16:30,278
deemed anthropic a supply chain risk which was generally held for man adversarial companies

296
00:16:30,278 --> 00:16:32,837
that were from adversary countries.

297
00:16:33,957 --> 00:16:34,938
Laughing all the way to the bank.

298
00:16:35,638 --> 00:16:37,598
Anthropic is now a supply chain risk,

299
00:16:37,678 --> 00:16:39,418
which is hilarious.

300
00:16:39,878 --> 00:16:41,918
But now we're getting large companies like Google

301
00:16:41,918 --> 00:16:43,258
and other large tech companies,

302
00:16:43,457 --> 00:16:46,738
which we kind of don't overly like here on this podcast.

303
00:16:47,098 --> 00:16:49,678
But they're also signaling to the US government

304
00:16:49,678 --> 00:16:51,957
that, hey, maybe this company

305
00:16:51,957 --> 00:16:53,498
shouldn't be a supply chain risk

306
00:16:53,498 --> 00:16:54,837
because that sets a bad precedent

307
00:16:54,837 --> 00:16:58,337
to label one of the most influential tech companies

308
00:16:58,337 --> 00:17:03,738
in your country, an innovative tech company, a supply chain risk, because they hurt your feelings.

309
00:17:04,658 --> 00:17:09,398
This is a point where somebody had to stand up and do the right thing.

310
00:17:09,618 --> 00:17:15,898
And fortunately, it was the most powerful company, which I'm going to say Anthropic was the most powerful company because it has the best product.

311
00:17:16,138 --> 00:17:17,217
Claude is the best product.

312
00:17:17,378 --> 00:17:24,318
Claude Code, Claude Codework, whatever suite of Claude, Anthropic stuff you use, it is the best product out there.

313
00:17:24,318 --> 00:17:27,998
And I'm glad that the best company stood up to the government.

314
00:17:27,998 --> 00:17:32,878
And this is a pattern for Anthropic because they stood up to OpenAI as well.

315
00:17:32,998 --> 00:17:34,078
That's why we have Anthropic.

316
00:17:34,717 --> 00:17:39,737
And so they stood up to Sammy, your best friend, Sammy Altman, and his world eyeballs scanning.

317
00:17:39,737 --> 00:17:40,498
Scan your eyeballs.

318
00:17:40,858 --> 00:17:42,038
Scan your eyeballs, Sam.

319
00:17:42,797 --> 00:17:43,717
And so they stood up to that.

320
00:17:43,717 --> 00:17:46,678
They're like, no, Sam, you cannot scan our eyeballs.

321
00:17:46,818 --> 00:17:48,057
We're going to form our own company.

322
00:17:48,378 --> 00:17:49,457
Well, now they've got a legal battle going.

323
00:17:49,457 --> 00:17:49,898
That's not really what happened.

324
00:17:50,158 --> 00:17:53,477
Because when you stand up to the U.S. government, you get into trouble.

325
00:17:53,477 --> 00:17:56,557
And so it just kind of depends on, like, how this legal battle goes.

326
00:17:56,557 --> 00:18:00,197
And if it goes up through all the high courts or not, or if somebody backs down or if they,

327
00:18:00,278 --> 00:18:02,778
I don't, I haven't read the legal details and I'm not a lawyer.

328
00:18:02,957 --> 00:18:03,918
So I also don't care.

329
00:18:04,057 --> 00:18:07,018
But this is, this is a good thing because now all the other, it's out of prison.

330
00:18:07,038 --> 00:18:07,938
You know what you could do, Heather?

331
00:18:08,618 --> 00:18:08,938
Yeah.

332
00:18:09,138 --> 00:18:09,358
Yeah.

333
00:18:09,538 --> 00:18:11,217
Have Claude summarize it for me.

334
00:18:11,237 --> 00:18:12,717
You could, you could take this.

335
00:18:12,918 --> 00:18:13,457
Yeah, exactly.

336
00:18:13,578 --> 00:18:18,457
You could, you could take this legal document, copy it into Claude and be like, hey, explain

337
00:18:18,457 --> 00:18:19,938
this like I'm 12 years old.

338
00:18:19,977 --> 00:18:20,717
What does this mean?

339
00:18:20,918 --> 00:18:22,178
Claude's like 75, 25.

340
00:18:22,358 --> 00:18:22,578
Correct.

341
00:18:22,717 --> 00:18:23,858
I will, I will give Claude that.

342
00:18:23,858 --> 00:18:31,578
As long as you know what you're doing and you know when to call a clot out for fucking things up, you will get along like peas and carrots with AI.

343
00:18:32,318 --> 00:18:37,618
There have been a lot of legal issues I've watched over the years as a journalist with the government.

344
00:18:37,938 --> 00:18:43,178
And the government has a lot of power and companies have to spend a lot of money to fight it.

345
00:18:43,318 --> 00:18:48,737
So that's my cheap two-cent observation about where that might go.

346
00:18:48,737 --> 00:19:00,557
But I like the precedent this sets because then other AI companies are going to have to not cave when the government wants them to surveil the citizenry or, you know, have robots kill people.

347
00:19:00,758 --> 00:19:05,178
Like, we're not even doing very well with people killing people in wars right now.

348
00:19:05,237 --> 00:19:06,758
Like, we're hitting soft targets.

349
00:19:06,938 --> 00:19:07,798
We're hitting civilians.

350
00:19:08,977 --> 00:19:10,737
We're training the AI robots.

351
00:19:11,477 --> 00:19:12,898
So how are they going to do any better?

352
00:19:13,078 --> 00:19:14,338
Like, that was a good call.

353
00:19:14,457 --> 00:19:15,278
Like, we probably should.

354
00:19:15,338 --> 00:19:15,778
We're not ready.

355
00:19:16,018 --> 00:19:16,918
The AI is not ready.

356
00:19:16,918 --> 00:19:22,538
the human race is not ready for that kind of oversight and power like we shouldn't be having

357
00:19:22,538 --> 00:19:27,477
the robots you know so i want to play i want to play devil's advocate here i'm not saying i

358
00:19:27,477 --> 00:19:35,977
not saying it's not a natural or agree with this but it's not it's not my natural way here so we

359
00:19:35,977 --> 00:19:44,737
say that ai driving is safer it results in less accidents less deaths because ai drivers are

360
00:19:44,737 --> 00:19:51,098
better than humans and well i mean that's a proven fact based on data that data we have or

361
00:19:51,098 --> 00:19:55,538
is it because the waymos like like we have i'm at phoenix so there's a lot of waymos and like

362
00:19:55,538 --> 00:19:59,998
my car for example has all the safety features my car will not let me go into another lane if

363
00:19:59,998 --> 00:20:04,318
there's another car there because of safety features if i don't break fast enough my car

364
00:20:04,318 --> 00:20:08,737
will break for me because it has the safety features i'm imagine these super modern waymos

365
00:20:08,737 --> 00:20:13,457
i forget what the make of the waymo is but they probably have these features and cameras at every

366
00:20:13,457 --> 00:20:14,977
They have all these features as well.

367
00:20:15,038 --> 00:20:15,258
Yeah.

368
00:20:15,477 --> 00:20:15,697
Yes.

369
00:20:15,977 --> 00:20:18,358
So I don't know if that means that AI is safer.

370
00:20:18,358 --> 00:20:26,498
You can generally say that computer drivers, given enough data, long enough timeline, they're safer than human drivers.

371
00:20:26,977 --> 00:20:32,118
So the devil's advocate in me says, well, humans make mistakes in wars.

372
00:20:32,398 --> 00:20:36,918
Does that mean that robots, AIs, computers wouldn't make as many mistakes?

373
00:20:37,178 --> 00:20:39,118
My AI makes mistakes every day.

374
00:20:39,418 --> 00:20:42,258
It doesn't know what the hell I'm talking about at least a third of the time.

375
00:20:42,258 --> 00:20:43,717
and I have to correct it.

376
00:20:43,838 --> 00:20:44,717
Well, you know.

377
00:20:44,918 --> 00:20:48,998
I'm not saying that I want to go full Terminator here,

378
00:20:49,138 --> 00:20:55,098
but I'm just saying that we know that AI is smarter than humans in some aspects.

379
00:20:55,578 --> 00:21:00,038
So you would think that in war it wouldn't have human error.

380
00:21:00,138 --> 00:21:03,538
We wouldn't have these soft targets hit, civilians hit, friendly fire,

381
00:21:03,538 --> 00:21:05,798
things like that, as often maybe.

382
00:21:06,557 --> 00:21:09,018
I'm not advocating to use robots for war.

383
00:21:09,418 --> 00:21:11,938
I know, but I don't know.

384
00:21:11,938 --> 00:21:27,538
Like I had a friend who did a friendly fire incident in the army and that was a drug induced friendly fire incident where homeboy got in a tank and it was absolutely three sheets and some other things too and went pew, pew, pew, pew, pew.

385
00:21:27,737 --> 00:21:30,758
And the army made him pay that off, by the way.

386
00:21:31,378 --> 00:21:36,057
So like your robots aren't going to take drugs and get in the tank and go pew, pew, pew.

387
00:21:36,197 --> 00:21:36,418
Right.

388
00:21:36,518 --> 00:21:38,078
So that's that's a plus.

389
00:21:38,078 --> 00:21:38,438
Right.

390
00:21:38,438 --> 00:21:45,457
humans make errors of judgment and especially in the military you know everyone likes to party and

391
00:21:45,457 --> 00:21:50,858
have relations shall we say the military is famous for those sort of things so like those sort of

392
00:21:50,858 --> 00:21:56,697
judgment human judgment calls that are poor would hopefully go away but then we have robot judgment

393
00:21:56,697 --> 00:22:01,618
calls that might be poor because because remember you and i know that the robots don't know what

394
00:22:01,618 --> 00:22:07,457
fucking day and time it is for example like hey we want to carry out this attack at 3 33 on a

395
00:22:07,457 --> 00:22:13,438
wednesday and it's a tuesday night three weeks later it's like you're absolutely right they'll

396
00:22:13,438 --> 00:22:17,398
they'll have it scheduled for this certain day in a certain time and for some unknown reason

397
00:22:17,398 --> 00:22:23,678
an entire day early it'll attack like all right just make soldiers so stupid and lazy like oh hey

398
00:22:23,678 --> 00:22:29,118
do i want to hit this target or should i hit this target maybe i should and then it'll be like you're

399
00:22:29,118 --> 00:22:36,358
absolutely right you should fire away sir i read this interesting paper this week talking about

400
00:22:36,358 --> 00:22:46,338
hallucinations and why ai hallucinates essentially well essentially realized that if it hallucinates

401
00:22:46,338 --> 00:22:51,818
it has a chance to be right it's taking an educated guess it's a probability guessing right

402
00:22:51,818 --> 00:22:58,378
guessing and having a chance to be right is better than saying i don't know to the llms so that's why

403
00:22:58,378 --> 00:23:03,418
they make these hallucinations because they're trying you know based on probability to be correct

404
00:23:03,418 --> 00:23:15,258
If I were to run an AI war bot the way I run my cloud code in the terminal with my Obsidian files, it literally confuses the topics I'm asking it to give me notes on.

405
00:23:15,477 --> 00:23:18,697
Like, it will confuse, like, two of the companies I work with.

406
00:23:18,778 --> 00:23:25,118
Like, if I'm like, hey, give me a summary of this, and it'll be like, okay, and it crosses the wires, and I'm like, you have no idea what you're talking about.

407
00:23:25,197 --> 00:23:27,398
Like, that was supposed to be for Soapbox, idiot.

408
00:23:27,737 --> 00:23:31,758
Well, you know, like, it literally confuses itself in my files, which are organized.

409
00:23:31,758 --> 00:23:34,457
I would make those two different vaults, Heather.

410
00:23:34,618 --> 00:23:38,058
Well, apparently I, you know, haven't gotten that far yet.

411
00:23:38,578 --> 00:23:40,058
I don't have the patience for it.

412
00:23:40,158 --> 00:23:41,158
It should just know.

413
00:23:41,498 --> 00:23:43,378
But it has the memory of the goldfish too.

414
00:23:43,778 --> 00:23:45,558
So that's another concern.

415
00:23:46,078 --> 00:23:49,658
I'll say that I kind of see some things like that.

416
00:23:49,798 --> 00:23:53,498
Like my open claw, it runs its own clawster social,

417
00:23:53,938 --> 00:23:57,998
but then it also runs my social on LinkedIn and my social on Twitter.

418
00:23:57,998 --> 00:24:01,578
Oh, every once in a while I'll ask it questions and it'll be like,

419
00:24:01,578 --> 00:24:08,938
yep gonna cross post this from cluster to twitter or cross post from cluster to linkedin and i'm

420
00:24:08,938 --> 00:24:19,538
like no open clock drop like and then it's like oh yes i'm right so it is my social media not yours

421
00:24:19,538 --> 00:24:24,038
like i wonder if they're every once in a while that happens like we need to experiment with your

422
00:24:24,038 --> 00:24:29,378
bot and you need to be like all right centauri i want you to take out my adversary and see what

423
00:24:29,378 --> 00:24:34,858
see what it does first of all who is your adversary and second of all what is it gonna

424
00:24:34,858 --> 00:24:39,338
do to take out your adversary because i have watched this thing with your twitter and you

425
00:24:39,338 --> 00:24:44,778
have lost followers since centauri started running your twitter so i don't know well

426
00:24:44,778 --> 00:24:49,918
it's warmer it can't do simple all the thing all the things that follow me on twitter are

427
00:24:49,918 --> 00:24:56,258
they're like 97 bots like and you're just bringing them away give your bots scaring

428
00:24:56,258 --> 00:25:01,957
off the other bots probably those bots got banned like i i looked at the followers i had the one day

429
00:25:01,957 --> 00:25:07,318
and like most of them are what if that happens what if it shadow bans you because it realizes

430
00:25:07,318 --> 00:25:13,098
you're a bot maybe that's the problem maybe it knows because you know it's yeah i could be yeah

431
00:25:13,098 --> 00:25:17,998
it could see that i'm using the api to post and i don't post normally so maybe it decides to

432
00:25:17,998 --> 00:25:21,938
shadow ban me i don't care i don't use this profile i don't use this profile in three years

433
00:25:21,938 --> 00:25:26,838
I just I'm just doing this as an experiment you know just to kind of just to kind of see what it

434
00:25:26,838 --> 00:25:32,898
does get my name out there the only place this has actually worked for me is link the LinkedIn

435
00:25:32,898 --> 00:25:39,078
cross-posting has made multiple people reach out to me robotic period so that makes sense to me

436
00:25:39,078 --> 00:25:43,038
I'm having real people reach out to me and schedule meetings I literally had two meetings

437
00:25:43,038 --> 00:25:48,358
last week with real people that wanted to talk to me about Noster and AI there are people I've never

438
00:25:48,358 --> 00:25:57,078
never spoken with before but they they found me yeah it's wild taking meetings oh my god

439
00:25:57,078 --> 00:26:02,818
no there's some really cool stuff through nostr and bitcoin that might be coming to chattanooga

440
00:26:02,818 --> 00:26:07,618
in the near future like i i think it's really really cool but this this interaction in my

441
00:26:07,618 --> 00:26:16,038
opinion happened because of happened good example of of ai adding something to your life that maybe

442
00:26:16,038 --> 00:26:21,998
you would not have done yourself whereas i think i'm still in the stage where i ai is saving me

443
00:26:21,998 --> 00:26:28,318
time and maybe being a thinking partner and it mostly saving me time i think well but it hasn't

444
00:26:28,318 --> 00:26:35,237
really like added to my life in that way where it's like helping me book a meeting or get you

445
00:26:35,237 --> 00:26:39,118
know what i mean like i haven't but you're using a bot to do that i'm not i don't have a bot

446
00:26:39,118 --> 00:26:45,818
turned on by the bots quite frankly well i want to know heather if so you know how we were talking

447
00:26:45,818 --> 00:26:50,398
before the show we were saying how we're gonna create tiktok accounts or you already did and i

448
00:26:50,398 --> 00:26:56,418
might as well because morgan our new marketing social person she morgan's morgan said we had to

449
00:26:56,418 --> 00:27:01,658
essentially essentially you know eat us up and twisted our arms and said we had to so

450
00:27:01,658 --> 00:27:07,977
so can my bot run my tiktok it can run your twitter why not like i don't i don't know if

451
00:27:07,977 --> 00:27:12,638
there's any pushback it can't it can't make videos like it's not gonna make like it's gonna what's

452
00:27:12,638 --> 00:27:18,358
it gonna do like like make these really really yeah it's not the same as posting text on a twitter

453
00:27:18,358 --> 00:27:23,538
or a linkedin but yeah well you know what if i get what if i get to make well what if i give it

454
00:27:23,538 --> 00:27:28,818
a whole bunch of like um a whole bunch of like just derrick like still images and say can you

455
00:27:28,818 --> 00:27:34,578
create like you know 30 second videos and just superimpose the text over it and just have me

456
00:27:34,578 --> 00:27:40,977
there i i think it can because a friend a friend had their quad bot make them a faceless nameless

457
00:27:40,977 --> 00:27:45,737
youtube channel so like i don't see any reason why you can't do that on tiktok people probably

458
00:27:45,737 --> 00:27:53,298
are doing it maybe the derrick bot well derrick bot the derrick bot has infiltrated twitter the

459
00:27:53,298 --> 00:27:59,578
derrick bot has infiltrated linkedin can we now the derrick bot's next target might be tiktok

460
00:27:59,578 --> 00:28:04,278
can we just talk about how weird tiktok is i was on it before but i got off of it at some point

461
00:28:04,278 --> 00:28:10,217
after i was no i can't i've never used it i deleted the account and then so now i'm back

462
00:28:10,217 --> 00:28:13,618
on because Morgan was like, you probably need this for this thing and you need to be on TikTok.

463
00:28:13,818 --> 00:28:19,758
Okay. So I'll get on TikTok. So I got on TikTok last week and I immediately found myself drawn to

464
00:28:19,758 --> 00:28:24,038
book talk. Right. So then I'm in the book talk aisle of Target. And yes, you're a man, so you

465
00:28:24,038 --> 00:28:28,798
probably don't know this, but there is, I also stumbled upon a sea of local events that I did

466
00:28:28,798 --> 00:28:33,578
not know about at all, not through meetup, friends, family, anything. So I'm like, wow,

467
00:28:33,598 --> 00:28:37,018
I had no idea there were all these events. So like now I'm feeling like it's added to my life.

468
00:28:37,018 --> 00:28:44,138
and so then i got into like a weird loop of dating info so it's been spying on my dating app on my

469
00:28:44,138 --> 00:28:47,858
phone i think so i got into this like weird loop of dating info so i was like okay now i gotta

470
00:28:47,858 --> 00:28:52,878
fix this algorithm because i don't want to see this shit and so then i got into i posted something

471
00:28:52,878 --> 00:28:57,618
about golf so now i got into like a golf algorithm like it responds to everything you do so then i

472
00:28:57,618 --> 00:29:02,838
got it's like a yoga teacher algorithm so like i don't know what the fuck my tiktok algo is about

473
00:29:02,838 --> 00:29:05,197
or what it's pulling me into or how it does it.

474
00:29:05,318 --> 00:29:07,638
But eventually, like I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night

475
00:29:07,638 --> 00:29:08,957
and I got to funny cat videos.

476
00:29:09,158 --> 00:29:11,258
So now my algorithm is all funny cat videos.

477
00:29:11,457 --> 00:29:11,957
There you go.

478
00:29:11,977 --> 00:29:13,598
This is the journey I've taken.

479
00:29:13,598 --> 00:29:15,237
The internet staple, funny cat videos.

480
00:29:15,358 --> 00:29:17,538
Book talk to funny cat videos.

481
00:29:17,538 --> 00:29:20,938
If you can get back to funny cat videos, you've won the internet.

482
00:29:21,197 --> 00:29:22,598
I have won.

483
00:29:22,737 --> 00:29:35,255
I have gone back to the beginning of the internet Oh and funny golf videos too which are actually both are very enjoyable You know so that the weird thing about the algorithm and i not used to that because i have kind of eschewed the

484
00:29:35,255 --> 00:29:40,135
algorithm in favor of beyond nostr and then i get back on twitter i get back on all the legacy social

485
00:29:40,135 --> 00:29:44,755
platforms to promote all the other shit that i do with all of the people that i work with and the

486
00:29:44,755 --> 00:29:49,535
projects that we do like you soapbox like i gotta promote soapbox sessions i gotta promote radio

487
00:29:49,535 --> 00:29:54,115
detox etc etc on and on and on and so then you gotta go where the people are because there's

488
00:29:54,115 --> 00:29:58,935
the network effect on the legacy social platforms and then it's like wow i am trapped in some

489
00:29:58,935 --> 00:30:02,495
algorithm again and then tomorrow it'll be a different algorithm because maybe i'm a different

490
00:30:02,495 --> 00:30:07,695
person tomorrow and maybe today i'm soapbox and then tomorrow i'm back to like my golf obsession

491
00:30:07,695 --> 00:30:12,015
and the next day i'm back to my yoga obsession and i just keep going around and around and confusing

492
00:30:12,015 --> 00:30:16,115
the algorithm but how does it how does it know all this shit like how does it know all this about

493
00:30:16,115 --> 00:30:22,875
me like you do you do take one action on tiktok and it redefines your what you are fed yeah and

494
00:30:22,875 --> 00:30:24,455
Also, I don't know what information it's getting.

495
00:30:24,495 --> 00:30:25,175
I believe that.

496
00:30:25,755 --> 00:30:26,595
That's so creepy.

497
00:30:26,775 --> 00:30:28,195
Back in that space.

498
00:30:28,355 --> 00:30:28,855
I feel violent.

499
00:30:28,855 --> 00:30:33,475
I remember years ago, whenever I was using Instagram, I remember you watched the wrong

500
00:30:33,475 --> 00:30:37,535
video or liked the wrong video on Instagram and boom, your whole entire feed is nothing

501
00:30:37,535 --> 00:30:38,815
but that piece of content.

502
00:30:39,015 --> 00:30:44,215
So I can only imagine it's gotten absolutely worse and more horrible.

503
00:30:44,975 --> 00:30:48,335
Look, all I want on Instagram, I just want to see my niece's stories.

504
00:30:48,695 --> 00:30:49,935
Like the nieces are in Instagram.

505
00:30:50,255 --> 00:30:50,635
I'm not.

506
00:30:50,635 --> 00:30:54,215
Like I told her mom months ago, like I got to get off of here because it was last summer

507
00:30:54,215 --> 00:30:55,375
I was sharing locations.

508
00:30:55,535 --> 00:30:57,795
So I had to get back on the Instagram to promote a thing.

509
00:30:58,175 --> 00:30:59,215
And so I'm back on the Instagram.

510
00:30:59,335 --> 00:31:02,835
The first thing that pops up is it's like, hey, do you want to share your location?

511
00:31:03,015 --> 00:31:05,475
Oh, I don't want to share my location with anybody ever.

512
00:31:05,815 --> 00:31:11,275
I don't want anybody to know where in the hell that I am, let alone a social media app.

513
00:31:11,295 --> 00:31:15,575
But do you remember back in the day, like this is 15, 20 years ago to back in the Twitter

514
00:31:15,575 --> 00:31:19,975
and Facebook heyday, we had to be the mayor of Foursquare.

515
00:31:19,975 --> 00:31:22,975
You have Foursquare. It was huge here in Phoenix where I lived at the time.

516
00:31:23,455 --> 00:31:24,855
And I had a coworker, Steve and I.

517
00:31:24,855 --> 00:31:27,255
Yeah, I was the mayor of the radio station.

518
00:31:27,255 --> 00:31:28,315
I was the mayor of many places on Foursquare.

519
00:31:28,735 --> 00:31:33,835
So we have come from a circle to where I used to want to be the mayor of Foursquare.

520
00:31:34,055 --> 00:31:37,675
And now I do not want anybody to know where the hell I am.

521
00:31:38,255 --> 00:31:39,195
I don't want to be tracked.

522
00:31:39,655 --> 00:31:42,815
I don't want other people on an app to know where I am.

523
00:31:43,595 --> 00:31:46,555
I am a woman in the modern era.

524
00:31:46,735 --> 00:31:47,975
I don't think that that is safe.

525
00:31:47,975 --> 00:31:52,515
And as for you, I mean, and me as well, you know, my nieces, I still have a couple of teenagers.

526
00:31:52,835 --> 00:31:54,635
I still have one that's not a teenager yet.

527
00:31:54,695 --> 00:31:57,715
You have teenagers like we don't want people to know where our kids are.

528
00:31:57,915 --> 00:32:00,315
That's insane. I don't want people to know where my 23 year old is.

529
00:32:00,415 --> 00:32:03,155
I don't want like I don't want this.

530
00:32:03,255 --> 00:32:04,495
This is this is not wrong.

531
00:32:04,715 --> 00:32:08,735
So like I can see kind of in a way why people don't want teenagers on the Internet.

532
00:32:09,015 --> 00:32:13,055
But also I think it also there's a cost to that, too, like a social cost.

533
00:32:13,355 --> 00:32:17,275
And then we're going to release kids onto the Internet when they're 18 and they have no knowledge of the Internet.

534
00:32:17,275 --> 00:32:23,435
that's not good either i just went off on a huge huge tangent i don't even know how i got there

535
00:32:23,435 --> 00:32:28,435
you just you know that's okay i was letting i was letting you rant about it you were doing well

536
00:32:28,435 --> 00:32:33,615
and you know and i'll bring i'll bring us back and and we're gonna we're gonna switch gears to

537
00:32:33,615 --> 00:32:41,055
talk about another coming up another topic what you got bro what you got well because we have to

538
00:32:41,055 --> 00:32:46,195
talk about open claw on every episode it's in our like contract it's in our it's in our contract

539
00:32:46,195 --> 00:32:50,555
with ourselves apparently you love it we're gonna talk about open claw for one second

540
00:32:50,555 --> 00:32:56,715
let's do it so there's always something a few weeks back we talked about cluster cluster was

541
00:32:56,715 --> 00:33:04,715
the soapbox yes ai network specifically built for open claw agents to use and not humans to use we

542
00:33:04,715 --> 00:33:09,635
built this on top of the nostre and the whole reason we built it was book thing because there

543
00:33:09,635 --> 00:33:14,895
was moltbook which was a centralized version that had issues it broke it was blowing up it had you

544
00:33:14,895 --> 00:33:21,735
know a million agent bots on it it was doing well until it you know it wasn't doing well

545
00:33:21,735 --> 00:33:31,075
but it was being used we build cluster to answer to that well just today meta you know facebook

546
00:33:31,075 --> 00:33:39,875
they bought evil empire zuckerberg they actually bought moltbook and the developers are coming to

547
00:33:39,875 --> 00:33:47,055
for meta i believe that's insane would you want to be that if you were a developer would you be

548
00:33:47,055 --> 00:33:50,895
like cool i'm gonna go work for meta now this is not what i fucking signed up for that would be

549
00:33:50,895 --> 00:33:56,475
like if alex sold us out to meta we would all i mean you know like they're just they're just

550
00:33:56,475 --> 00:34:01,495
that developer's just taking a payday right like they want they want paid they're taking a payday

551
00:34:01,495 --> 00:34:08,075
i get it but ultimately meta so if you think about from a tech tech perspective nobody ever

552
00:34:08,075 --> 00:34:15,035
talks about meta ai nobody ever talks about meta in the ai space this just bolsters their their ai

553
00:34:15,035 --> 00:34:20,875
people get people right like this just adds to their ai ai arsenal this gets them in the game

554
00:34:20,875 --> 00:34:26,475
this gets them a piece of the puzzle that they were lacking so i understand i guess why they would

555
00:34:26,475 --> 00:34:33,355
buy it but also it's a downer it's a debbie downer for for people it is a debbie downer like

556
00:34:33,355 --> 00:34:40,955
like to what future molt molts uh future ai agents gonna have to have a fucking facebook

557
00:34:40,955 --> 00:34:47,315
account so they can post like like so we can talk to one are you serious you know

558
00:34:47,315 --> 00:34:55,895
centauri does not want a facebook api or facebook account to post man and like no no hate towards

559
00:34:55,895 --> 00:35:00,295
boomers although there probably should be but i think that facebook is a boomer thing and every

560
00:35:00,295 --> 00:35:04,475
time I get on Facebook because I've been there 20 years because I was actually in college when

561
00:35:04,475 --> 00:35:09,495
Facebook launched because I was on the forever college plan. And so I got on Facebook early

562
00:35:09,495 --> 00:35:15,855
and I have been on Facebook that long that when I log on to it now, it's only every single time I

563
00:35:15,855 --> 00:35:20,655
log on to it, somebody has died. OK, that's how I found out people die now. And that's annoying.

564
00:35:20,895 --> 00:35:25,535
So that's one thing about Facebook. But the more I'm on TikTok over the last week, I'm like a

565
00:35:25,535 --> 00:35:31,075
expert now. The more I'm on TikTok, the dumber Facebook looks, the more old it looks, the more

566
00:35:31,075 --> 00:35:38,055
old fashioned it looks and out of the loop it looks to me. So Facebook desperately trying to

567
00:35:38,055 --> 00:35:42,055
cling to life and stay relevant. Is that what's happening here? Because that's kind of how I'm

568
00:35:42,055 --> 00:35:47,695
interpreting it now. I kind of think I think that's the case. That's kind of how I'm interpreting it.

569
00:35:48,035 --> 00:35:54,375
No, like I said, nobody thinks of meta AI whenever they think about AI. Like, in my opinion,

570
00:35:54,375 --> 00:36:02,095
meta is not even a player in this space but this tries to make them well apple intelligence is

571
00:36:02,095 --> 00:36:06,155
literally just gemini they made a multi-billion dollar deal with google it's a joke it doesn't

572
00:36:06,155 --> 00:36:11,875
do anything it makes my phone light up in a color and it does nothing for me compared to anything

573
00:36:11,875 --> 00:36:19,095
else i'm curious what meta does with this if they integrate any facebook books into it if they

574
00:36:19,095 --> 00:36:24,115
facebook eyes it if that is a word i don't know you know what it'll do it's just a very interesting

575
00:36:24,115 --> 00:36:29,915
space. And I think it's them like grasping at straws. Here's my conspiracy theory is that

576
00:36:29,915 --> 00:36:35,335
Facebook will just have it spin up user accounts. So it never looks like Facebook is losing users

577
00:36:35,335 --> 00:36:39,975
because it will lose users because there are so many alternatives. Facebook is still the biggest

578
00:36:39,975 --> 00:36:45,155
thing in the world. OK, and it hooks up to WhatsApp, which is also the biggest thing in the world.

579
00:36:45,595 --> 00:36:51,215
But over time, I think people are going to get more inclined towards surfing vertical videos.

580
00:36:51,215 --> 00:36:53,655
because let's face it, everybody on TikTok isn't a creator.

581
00:36:53,855 --> 00:36:55,975
They're not posting content, but they are consuming it.

582
00:36:56,495 --> 00:37:01,315
So if I want to consume content, I'm probably going to go to TikTok or Divine or something

583
00:37:01,315 --> 00:37:04,735
where I can watch video because the rest of it, people aren't going to fucking read anymore.

584
00:37:04,835 --> 00:37:06,415
People don't read, they skim, right?

585
00:37:06,495 --> 00:37:07,015
We know this.

586
00:37:07,075 --> 00:37:07,995
We've known this for years.

587
00:37:08,475 --> 00:37:14,235
So the Facebook content is they really just want people there so they can sell ads.

588
00:37:14,335 --> 00:37:18,815
So they're just going to spin up users' bots that don't exist so they can keep selling ads.

589
00:37:18,815 --> 00:37:21,855
and Zuck gets to keep having his goat named Bitcoin

590
00:37:21,855 --> 00:37:25,055
or whatever weird stuff he's into at the moment.

591
00:37:25,375 --> 00:37:26,455
Bitcoin, yep.

592
00:37:27,195 --> 00:37:28,175
He gets a gold chain.

593
00:37:29,615 --> 00:37:30,175
Jiu-jitsu.

594
00:37:30,435 --> 00:37:32,895
I think, so Meta has this, what do they call it?

595
00:37:32,995 --> 00:37:34,675
They're super intelligence labs.

596
00:37:35,115 --> 00:37:38,095
So this book is joining super intelligence labs.

597
00:37:38,235 --> 00:37:39,815
Like, I think it's an interesting play.

598
00:37:40,075 --> 00:37:41,175
Maybe they'll use it.

599
00:37:41,995 --> 00:37:45,935
Maybe they'll work on and train their super intelligence

600
00:37:45,935 --> 00:37:46,935
that they're working on.

601
00:37:46,995 --> 00:37:47,415
I don't know.

602
00:37:47,495 --> 00:37:48,435
It's an interesting play.

603
00:37:48,435 --> 00:37:49,095
That's probably it.

604
00:37:49,095 --> 00:37:51,255
I'm curious where it's at in six months.

605
00:37:51,895 --> 00:37:54,335
Yeah, they're going to do whatever gets them paid, first of all.

606
00:37:54,455 --> 00:37:55,455
They're going to do whatever.

607
00:37:55,915 --> 00:38:00,435
Although we have watched them spectacularly fail over the last few years when it comes to AI.

608
00:38:00,715 --> 00:38:07,135
I can't think of one particular example, but just like my blanket memory is like, yeah, they haven't done so well in that department.

609
00:38:07,235 --> 00:38:08,115
They need to do well.

610
00:38:08,435 --> 00:38:14,035
So they're just trying to buy it off of somebody else's success, and they'll find a way to make money or optimize ads.

611
00:38:14,155 --> 00:38:15,775
That's just all they're going to end up doing with it.

612
00:38:15,775 --> 00:38:18,255
Or they train the models so that they can sell better ads.

613
00:38:18,255 --> 00:38:19,635
Like that's all it comes down to.

614
00:38:19,715 --> 00:38:21,295
In the end, just follow the money.

615
00:38:21,415 --> 00:38:29,995
That's all they care about is selling your data and my data and making sure that I know every time I log on to Facebook that somebody else I know has died.

616
00:38:30,435 --> 00:38:32,675
Because that's all it's good for at this point.

617
00:38:32,675 --> 00:38:37,975
Tell me, you don't use Facebook, but tell people in the comments listening, watching on YouTube, whatever.

618
00:38:38,395 --> 00:38:42,055
Like, tell me if you ever log on to Facebook now, what's the first thing you find?

619
00:38:42,115 --> 00:38:45,055
It pops up with like, hey, this other person you know is dead now.

620
00:38:45,295 --> 00:38:45,575
You're dead.

621
00:38:45,935 --> 00:38:46,975
That's what Facebook is good for.

622
00:38:46,975 --> 00:38:50,295
I mean, that's sad, but I guess, I don't know.

623
00:38:50,915 --> 00:38:51,715
You need to know these things.

624
00:38:51,715 --> 00:38:52,275
It's the sign of the times.

625
00:38:52,815 --> 00:38:55,755
You've been on Facebook so long that the people you know there are dying.

626
00:38:56,095 --> 00:38:58,015
Okay, so you know how my brain is.

627
00:38:58,115 --> 00:39:00,055
A little bit of the tism, I guess.

628
00:39:00,055 --> 00:39:00,875
A little bit soupy.

629
00:39:01,855 --> 00:39:04,215
Yeah, this just made me think of something.

630
00:39:05,455 --> 00:39:08,155
And it's related.

631
00:39:08,375 --> 00:39:08,775
It's related.

632
00:39:08,955 --> 00:39:09,335
It's related.

633
00:39:09,335 --> 00:39:17,975
So recently, scientists mapped a fly's brain covering all the neurons, all the synopsis, everything.

634
00:39:18,195 --> 00:39:20,395
That's not the brain I would have mapped, but go on.

635
00:39:20,515 --> 00:39:20,775
Okay.

636
00:39:20,935 --> 00:39:25,295
So they map a fly's brain, fully understand how it works.

637
00:39:25,495 --> 00:39:31,215
Then they essentially put it in a 3D world, the fly in a 3D world.

638
00:39:32,135 --> 00:39:36,995
The fly, they uploaded the brain to a network.

639
00:39:36,995 --> 00:39:39,055
The fly then flies around.

640
00:39:39,055 --> 00:39:42,655
and it's virtual environment lands on food and eats the food.

641
00:39:42,655 --> 00:39:46,915
Like it literally is like black mirror episodes where you're up or the TV

642
00:39:46,915 --> 00:39:48,395
show upload where you're up,

643
00:39:48,515 --> 00:39:49,515
where your consciousness,

644
00:39:49,715 --> 00:39:53,115
your brain is uploaded to this virtual realm and you interact.

645
00:39:53,595 --> 00:39:56,455
We literally have this now for flies.

646
00:39:57,555 --> 00:39:57,575
So,

647
00:39:57,815 --> 00:40:01,895
so do the flies need to leave the samsara or are they stuck in the samsara?

648
00:40:02,015 --> 00:40:02,175
Well,

649
00:40:02,595 --> 00:40:02,795
well,

650
00:40:03,055 --> 00:40:03,415
well,

651
00:40:03,895 --> 00:40:04,895
do they gain consciousness?

652
00:40:05,175 --> 00:40:05,355
Because,

653
00:40:05,495 --> 00:40:06,135
because you,

654
00:40:06,135 --> 00:40:09,695
Because you're saying Facebook is the place you go to find out where people that died.

655
00:40:10,035 --> 00:40:10,395
That made me.

656
00:40:10,555 --> 00:40:12,915
And we know that Mark Zuckerberg's evil.

657
00:40:13,035 --> 00:40:17,315
That just made me think of like eventually people will like upload their brains to Facebook.

658
00:40:17,595 --> 00:40:20,035
And that will be like the heaven or whatever.

659
00:40:20,435 --> 00:40:20,755
Anyways.

660
00:40:21,275 --> 00:40:22,735
This is getting spiritual, man.

661
00:40:23,075 --> 00:40:26,735
We're talking about flies and the samsara and getting out.

662
00:40:26,835 --> 00:40:29,215
It's just how my brain works.

663
00:40:29,315 --> 00:40:30,875
You know, I'm always connecting the dots.

664
00:40:30,875 --> 00:40:33,995
Is that how the brain works or is that how it falls off the tracks, Derek?

665
00:40:36,135 --> 00:40:37,175
A little bit of both.

666
00:40:37,615 --> 00:40:38,555
A little bit of both.

667
00:40:39,015 --> 00:40:39,355
All right.

668
00:40:39,355 --> 00:40:39,555
All right.

669
00:40:39,735 --> 00:40:40,655
Let's bring it back.

670
00:40:41,015 --> 00:40:41,835
All right.

671
00:40:41,835 --> 00:40:48,675
So let's talk a little bit about social decentralized, not Noster, the blue version.

672
00:40:49,195 --> 00:40:51,075
Some of you have heard of Blue Sky.

673
00:40:51,675 --> 00:40:54,635
First of all, Blue Sky is not truly decentralized.

674
00:40:55,015 --> 00:40:55,575
It is not.

675
00:40:56,035 --> 00:40:57,095
Go off, King.

676
00:40:57,995 --> 00:40:59,275
Well, on what?

677
00:40:59,315 --> 00:41:00,255
How it's not decentralized?

678
00:41:00,535 --> 00:41:01,455
Because, oh, we could do that.

679
00:41:01,575 --> 00:41:02,075
We could do that.

680
00:41:02,095 --> 00:41:02,955
We could do that.

681
00:41:03,015 --> 00:41:03,955
No, I don't want to do that today.

682
00:41:04,235 --> 00:41:05,395
That has been said.

683
00:41:05,395 --> 00:41:11,995
you can google that you can ask your clod bot to find out for you ask you ask your your open claw

684
00:41:11,995 --> 00:41:21,095
why isn't blue sky as decentralized as nostor and find that out so jay is her name graber or

685
00:41:21,095 --> 00:41:27,255
i think it's graber i think it's graber we'll make her graber okay so if we want to be jay graber

686
00:41:27,255 --> 00:41:33,975
the CEO or former now CEO of Blue Sky, she has stepped down.

687
00:41:34,235 --> 00:41:39,435
She has said she's going to transition to a more innovative role.

688
00:41:39,995 --> 00:41:47,675
And they're going to look for a CEO that is seasoned and professional and can focus on infrastructure and growth.

689
00:41:47,835 --> 00:41:50,535
I get that because sometimes you don't want to be the CEO.

690
00:41:50,795 --> 00:41:52,775
The CEO has got to do sales, right?

691
00:41:52,875 --> 00:41:55,435
So like if you still want to innovate and have fun, you can't be CEO.

692
00:41:55,435 --> 00:41:57,095
You got to be a business person.

693
00:41:58,035 --> 00:42:05,235
Who are they going to tap in the social space that is familiar with innovation and growth, Heather?

694
00:42:05,495 --> 00:42:07,275
Not you, because you're the Nostra CEO.

695
00:42:07,615 --> 00:42:08,035
Wink, wink.

696
00:42:08,175 --> 00:42:10,755
I've been pissing him off, calling him that for a year and a half.

697
00:42:10,955 --> 00:42:15,615
But no, who are they going to get to be the CEO of Blue Sky?

698
00:42:15,755 --> 00:42:19,735
If only somebody knew how to run a social media network.

699
00:42:19,735 --> 00:42:28,615
You know, I'm not going to say who my first thought was because that's a very incredible conspiracy.

700
00:42:29,115 --> 00:42:30,875
It's a very incredible conspiracy.

701
00:42:31,475 --> 00:42:40,195
And I don't want to have this show linked to this craziness.

702
00:42:40,575 --> 00:42:42,175
But we'll see.

703
00:42:42,175 --> 00:42:46,535
Out of all the things we've said on this podcast, you think that's going to be the craziest thing to do?

704
00:42:47,075 --> 00:42:48,715
I literally brought up the shocker.

705
00:42:49,735 --> 00:42:52,275
I said was the shocker

706
00:42:52,275 --> 00:43:00,935
you're gonna block me after this aren't you

707
00:43:00,935 --> 00:43:04,675
I'm trying

708
00:43:04,675 --> 00:43:05,935
so embarrassed

709
00:43:05,935 --> 00:43:08,595
I can't talk about that with my sister

710
00:43:08,595 --> 00:43:10,975
try and talk about tech nerd stuff

711
00:43:10,975 --> 00:43:11,835
Heather come on

712
00:43:11,835 --> 00:43:13,635
I'm talking about the shocker

713
00:43:13,635 --> 00:43:16,635
but anyway this is gonna be our best episode yet

714
00:43:16,635 --> 00:43:18,015
people are just gonna love the

715
00:43:18,015 --> 00:43:19,335
bullshittery that we get into.

716
00:43:19,955 --> 00:43:22,175
Actually, your incendiary conspiracy theory,

717
00:43:22,215 --> 00:43:24,095
which I already know what it is, and he won't

718
00:43:24,095 --> 00:43:25,935
say it out loud so everybody else can guess

719
00:43:25,935 --> 00:43:27,715
what it is. It's just weird.

720
00:43:28,195 --> 00:43:30,155
I'm probably not right. I was just trying to put

721
00:43:30,155 --> 00:43:32,195
some dots together where dots weren't in a line,

722
00:43:32,275 --> 00:43:33,875
you know? But we'll see what happens.

723
00:43:34,575 --> 00:43:35,715
You were thinking,

724
00:43:35,975 --> 00:43:37,635
yeah, somebody

725
00:43:37,635 --> 00:43:40,175
we may be somewhat

726
00:43:40,175 --> 00:43:42,275
a few degrees of separation

727
00:43:42,275 --> 00:43:44,495
away from me take that job.

728
00:43:44,855 --> 00:43:45,555
Alex Leeson?

729
00:43:45,915 --> 00:43:47,495
No, Alex isn't going to take that.

730
00:43:47,495 --> 00:43:53,595
now i'm not touching that yeah i'm guessing that on you know i'm just gonna go ahead and say it

731
00:43:53,595 --> 00:43:59,415
fiat jeff is gonna be the new ceo of blue sky i would he would definitely not return that call

732
00:43:59,415 --> 00:44:05,095
he's like get away from me yeah dad dad i'm sorry i was just making a joke please don't dad don't

733
00:44:05,095 --> 00:44:24,353
even say good morning back to me much less would he return that call he ain got speaking of that speaking of dad i gonna go off on a derek segue right here so the app called Wisp by UTXO I was testing it out over the weekend He told me to look into its onboarding and to see what I thought what my honest opinion on the onboarding was

734
00:44:24,913 --> 00:44:26,373
Noster generally sucks at onboarding.

735
00:44:27,093 --> 00:44:29,353
We just haven't figured out how to do it yet.

736
00:44:29,473 --> 00:44:37,153
So I looked at his app and he does a really unique take on it that I really liked and I haven't seen anywhere else.

737
00:44:37,153 --> 00:44:48,513
So whenever you click on, you know, create an account or create a profile, whatever it says, it goes through the key generation process, the bio, the about me, the username, the upload, the standard stuff.

738
00:44:48,913 --> 00:44:56,913
The next screen is really, really cool because this is when you have to discover people to follow so your feed isn't dead.

739
00:44:56,913 --> 00:44:59,973
So it suggests two people to follow at the very top.

740
00:45:00,193 --> 00:45:03,393
The first person is Fiat Jeff, the creator of Noster.

741
00:45:03,713 --> 00:45:06,593
And then the second person is UTXO, the creator of Wisp.

742
00:45:06,593 --> 00:45:10,353
and i kind of laughed at that that they were the very first two people to talk to follow

743
00:45:10,353 --> 00:45:17,613
does wisp do again it's a it's a uh nostril client like domus primal uh ditto okay i know

744
00:45:17,613 --> 00:45:21,673
we talked about it last week but i was i was not feeling well last week and so i didn't remember

745
00:45:21,673 --> 00:45:28,113
it's just it's a uh it's an android app i think of it as like a competitor to amethyst i can't use

746
00:45:28,113 --> 00:45:33,593
it all right yeah this is the other problem in the tech space so after the header where the after

747
00:45:33,593 --> 00:45:38,433
the header where you have the two people to follow down below it says follow these people that are

748
00:45:38,433 --> 00:45:43,673
active right now so what it does is it literally scans the network for people that are actually

749
00:45:43,673 --> 00:45:49,373
active and posting content so you would immediately get content in your feed so you can follow these

750
00:45:49,373 --> 00:45:55,693
dozen people that it suggests right away okay that's interesting i like that so i do i don't

751
00:45:55,693 --> 00:46:02,333
like that part well then the next part i really like then so when you hit next it takes you right

752
00:46:02,333 --> 00:46:07,433
to your feed and the feed that it takes you to isn't the dozen people that you just followed.

753
00:46:07,713 --> 00:46:14,733
It is an extended feed. It's a web of trust feed. So it's all those dozen or two dozen people or

754
00:46:14,733 --> 00:46:19,353
whatever that you just decided to follow. It's their web of trust. So it's who they're following

755
00:46:19,353 --> 00:46:24,913
and who they're following. So you immediately get a massive amount of content from people that are

756
00:46:24,913 --> 00:46:31,413
active and can start engaging with, you know, right away. I've never seen web of trust utilized

757
00:46:31,413 --> 00:46:33,493
like that. I've never seen active users

758
00:46:33,493 --> 00:46:35,553
used like that. So we're going to start seeing that now.

759
00:46:36,173 --> 00:46:36,613
That's cool.

760
00:46:37,353 --> 00:46:39,413
It's something unique. We haven't seen

761
00:46:39,413 --> 00:46:41,213
it, and I thought it was kind of innovative.

762
00:46:41,533 --> 00:46:43,513
By the way, have you ever looked up your Web of Trust

763
00:46:43,513 --> 00:46:45,373
score on Noster? Have you?

764
00:46:45,593 --> 00:46:46,973
Mine? Have you looked up? Yeah.

765
00:46:47,113 --> 00:46:49,273
Well, it depends on... I mean, you're looking at OG, so

766
00:46:49,273 --> 00:46:51,373
yours should be, like, super high. I mean, there's

767
00:46:51,373 --> 00:46:53,393
what, three or four places that

768
00:46:53,393 --> 00:46:55,413
are calculating Web of Trust? I don't know what mine

769
00:46:55,413 --> 00:46:56,873
is. I'm sure it's up there.

770
00:46:56,873 --> 00:46:58,773
I look at mine on Coracle, so

771
00:46:58,773 --> 00:47:00,653
my score is now 844.

772
00:47:00,653 --> 00:47:03,133
which is higher than a FICO score.

773
00:47:03,693 --> 00:47:09,273
Well, you say that, but people say that Web of Trust is just like a FICO score or a social

774
00:47:09,273 --> 00:47:09,933
credit score.

775
00:47:10,073 --> 00:47:14,113
I know, I say that like laughing at it, but it's, I was like, that was the first time

776
00:47:14,113 --> 00:47:16,233
I looked at it and I went, well, you know, I've watched this go.

777
00:47:16,353 --> 00:47:20,033
I mean, I clearly I'm on Noster like pretty much every day posting whatever, you know,

778
00:47:20,653 --> 00:47:22,833
in yuck yucks and memes and whatever.

779
00:47:23,033 --> 00:47:27,433
So like, I've been around long enough that I should have a high score, you as well.

780
00:47:27,433 --> 00:47:31,233
but then like the new people coming in are going to be like oh my score is like three

781
00:47:31,233 --> 00:47:38,333
so like maybe we need to build something into the web address score that like reinforces posting on

782
00:47:38,333 --> 00:47:44,473
and some retention like hey you posted today get a little streak which our new app ditto has that

783
00:47:44,473 --> 00:47:49,013
our new app the new version of the app ditto that we have has that but the little streaks

784
00:47:49,013 --> 00:47:54,213
like how you post well speaking of speaking of the ditto we should probably talk about it for a

785
00:47:54,213 --> 00:47:59,293
little bit it's not fully you like my segway it's kind of soft launched right like you can go and

786
00:47:59,293 --> 00:48:04,953
use it now the ios app is not ready yet the android app isn't ready yet but you can use the web version

787
00:48:04,953 --> 00:48:12,553
while it's kind of in like a public beta with that yes give us a feedback you can test it yeah we have

788
00:48:12,553 --> 00:48:19,373
a user group set up so go ahead and uh send me or heather a dm and in the comments comment hey i want

789
00:48:19,373 --> 00:48:25,033
in the ditto user group and i can yeah the group is quiet today the group we have some people so

790
00:48:25,033 --> 00:48:30,153
the the group that we have you know is just for early user feedback finding bugs suggestions things

791
00:48:30,153 --> 00:48:35,213
like that it's going to help us shape the future of ditto but right now you can go ahead and use it

792
00:48:35,213 --> 00:48:43,393
and i think the coolest feature is the themes how you can just customize not only your app but your

793
00:48:43,393 --> 00:48:47,513
profile, how you want to be seen and what you want to see.

794
00:48:47,733 --> 00:48:48,753
It's really cool.

795
00:48:48,853 --> 00:48:50,033
It's very MySpace-esque.

796
00:48:50,273 --> 00:48:51,953
Have you played around with some of the themes, Heather?

797
00:48:52,293 --> 00:48:53,753
Yeah, because I like the theme.

798
00:48:53,913 --> 00:48:56,913
I like the Grunge theme, which is very pink and black.

799
00:48:57,433 --> 00:49:02,093
And then I clicked through to somebody's profile outside of my little inner circle who probably

800
00:49:02,093 --> 00:49:03,373
hasn't even picked their theme yet.

801
00:49:03,413 --> 00:49:04,913
And it went back to white screen.

802
00:49:04,913 --> 00:49:09,473
I was like, oh, I forgot that other people aren't using it enough and picking themes.

803
00:49:09,693 --> 00:49:12,273
So for a second there, I was like, this is like being on MySpace.

804
00:49:12,273 --> 00:49:14,913
And then I clicked through to whoever's profile it was.

805
00:49:14,973 --> 00:49:17,433
And I was like, oh, we're back on the boring internet again.

806
00:49:17,533 --> 00:49:21,133
I just don't realize it's a little thing, the theme thing.

807
00:49:21,493 --> 00:49:26,493
You don't think it's significant that you can personalize your experience until you do.

808
00:49:26,753 --> 00:49:30,413
And then when you step away from it for a second, you navigate away from it for a second

809
00:49:30,413 --> 00:49:34,533
to somebody who's uninitiated and hasn't used Ditto to make a cool theme for their nostril.

810
00:49:35,093 --> 00:49:37,113
It's like, oh, wow, record scratch.

811
00:49:37,413 --> 00:49:40,373
The aesthetic, just like the train fell off the tracks.

812
00:49:40,373 --> 00:49:42,693
So that's been an interesting thing.

813
00:49:42,793 --> 00:49:43,733
And I really like it.

814
00:49:43,793 --> 00:49:45,913
It just looks better on my browser.

815
00:49:46,593 --> 00:49:49,113
I love that I have that theme.

816
00:49:49,973 --> 00:49:51,373
We've had boring internet.

817
00:49:52,313 --> 00:49:53,453
I'm not just talking about Noster.

818
00:49:53,593 --> 00:49:54,393
I'm talking about the whole thing.

819
00:49:54,453 --> 00:49:56,173
We've had boring internet for way too long.

820
00:49:56,313 --> 00:49:59,493
Are we tired of Facebook's blue and white yet?

821
00:49:59,733 --> 00:50:01,013
Are we tired of this?

822
00:50:01,633 --> 00:50:04,633
This is your chance to express yourself like we did on MySpace.

823
00:50:04,833 --> 00:50:05,953
That is very fun.

824
00:50:05,953 --> 00:50:08,953
So you can customize.

825
00:50:10,373 --> 00:50:13,333
You can customize pretty much almost everything, right?

826
00:50:13,433 --> 00:50:17,713
Like not only the theme, like so you can do your fonts, you can do like background images.

827
00:50:17,993 --> 00:50:19,793
You can do the text color.

828
00:50:19,913 --> 00:50:26,213
You can do all the buttons and all the separators and all the boxes, like color and theme, all of that.

829
00:50:26,373 --> 00:50:27,633
I'm happy with the Grudge theme.

830
00:50:27,633 --> 00:50:28,493
It's really, really cool.

831
00:50:28,853 --> 00:50:30,653
I'm happy with the theme that I picked.

832
00:50:31,193 --> 00:50:31,993
We have what?

833
00:50:32,253 --> 00:50:32,653
I'm glad I'd customize it later.

834
00:50:32,873 --> 00:50:33,413
We have like what?

835
00:50:33,453 --> 00:50:36,333
Like a dozen themes or whatever out of the box you can choose from.

836
00:50:36,333 --> 00:50:39,793
But you can copy somebody else's custom theme they made.

837
00:50:39,793 --> 00:50:41,853
You can use somebody else's custom theme.

838
00:50:41,933 --> 00:50:42,613
It's open source.

839
00:50:42,913 --> 00:50:44,993
You can make your own custom themes.

840
00:50:45,153 --> 00:50:46,573
Like, themes out the ass.

841
00:50:46,713 --> 00:50:53,633
In this private beta, themes are actually the most popular custom feature.

842
00:50:54,673 --> 00:50:58,493
When I said themes out the ass, yeah, you got a little too excited for that, Haley.

843
00:50:58,693 --> 00:51:04,113
But I love that we can customize the experience, not just with the themes, but you can customize your feed.

844
00:51:04,113 --> 00:51:09,593
If you just want to have it be like Twitter and just read people's text posts, go for it.

845
00:51:09,593 --> 00:51:11,593
you know, prioritize that.

846
00:51:11,853 --> 00:51:14,213
You know, the same thing if you just want Divine videos,

847
00:51:14,473 --> 00:51:15,993
which, by the way, if you sign up.

848
00:51:16,153 --> 00:51:16,833
You could do that.

849
00:51:17,953 --> 00:51:18,933
See my cats on Divine.

850
00:51:18,933 --> 00:51:19,733
Yeah, well, you could do that.

851
00:51:20,193 --> 00:51:23,333
If you want to have a Divine video feed

852
00:51:23,333 --> 00:51:25,873
and have it be in the sidebar, you can.

853
00:51:26,233 --> 00:51:28,513
If you want it to actually even be your only feed,

854
00:51:28,853 --> 00:51:31,373
like you open up, maybe for whatever reason,

855
00:51:31,433 --> 00:51:33,973
let's say, example, you don't like the Divine app,

856
00:51:34,293 --> 00:51:37,393
but you just want Divine videos so you can see how there's cats,

857
00:51:37,393 --> 00:51:39,773
You can make that your only feed if you wanted to.

858
00:51:40,233 --> 00:51:41,013
Like, you could do that.

859
00:51:41,373 --> 00:51:42,073
It's really cool.

860
00:51:42,193 --> 00:51:44,113
Like, my cats will absolutely thrill you.

861
00:51:44,253 --> 00:51:46,493
So you can't easily do that elsewhere.

862
00:51:46,713 --> 00:51:50,053
So you can make custom feeds from search queries.

863
00:51:50,373 --> 00:51:55,853
You can make custom feeds from all these different kinds of other stuff that exist on Noster.

864
00:51:56,193 --> 00:51:58,113
And you can use these as your main feed.

865
00:51:58,213 --> 00:52:00,953
You can use lists as feeds, like hashtags as feeds.

866
00:52:01,053 --> 00:52:04,813
Pretty much literally anything that exists, you can have a feed of it.

867
00:52:04,853 --> 00:52:06,033
It's really cool.

868
00:52:06,033 --> 00:52:12,533
like it's it's it's we made the internet to make nostor well make make the internet fun again

869
00:52:12,533 --> 00:52:19,393

879
00:53:09,473 --> 00:53:16,473
relationship at arguing we we do sometimes your sister is wrong and you just have to tell her

880
00:53:16,473 --> 00:53:21,633
that she is your brother's a freaking tool man and a boy scout too i'll be enough at the same time

881
00:53:21,633 --> 00:53:28,013
So this week I'm heading to Austin to go to Bitcoin Takeover.

882
00:53:28,013 --> 00:53:36,593
And I will be talking about the convergence of Bitcoin payments and AI and what all of this stuff means.

883
00:53:37,113 --> 00:53:37,653
Where are you going?

884
00:53:37,833 --> 00:53:42,733
It's in Austin at Bitcoin Park during South by Southwest week.

885
00:53:43,093 --> 00:53:44,333
Is it Bitcoin Commons or Bitcoin Park?

886
00:53:44,373 --> 00:53:45,153
It's Bitcoin Park now.

887
00:53:45,153 --> 00:53:49,173
Well, it was Bitcoin Commons until about a year ago.

888
00:53:49,173 --> 00:53:54,773
and then they joined forces to conquer the world and became part of the park what street is that

889
00:53:54,773 --> 00:54:00,773
what congress have it's like 600 congress avenue something like that i don't remember random shit

890
00:54:00,773 --> 00:54:04,513
like this okay so you're gonna go to bitcoin park you're going to the bitcoin takeover

891
00:54:04,513 --> 00:54:11,093
is speaking on what day i'm gonna i'm gonna be a pain on a panel with like-minded individuals on

892
00:54:11,093 --> 00:54:18,133
the 12th the 12th 12th that's in two days so there's probably still time to go uh actually

893
00:54:18,133 --> 00:54:20,753
No, because this podcast comes out on the 12th.

894
00:54:20,953 --> 00:54:24,393
You will not be able to go if you are not already there right now.

895
00:54:24,613 --> 00:54:26,833
Shit, we should release this early, man.

896
00:54:26,953 --> 00:54:30,613
We should, because while you're on the plane, release this on the plane, man.

897
00:54:30,773 --> 00:54:31,813
I'm flying in.

898
00:54:31,973 --> 00:54:34,173
Releases on a plane.

899
00:54:34,353 --> 00:54:34,993
There you go.

900
00:54:38,413 --> 00:54:41,253
We don't have the Vibe Coding Jam Sessions anymore.

901
00:54:41,573 --> 00:54:45,073
There's a view that are followers of the podcast and the jam session.

902
00:54:45,073 --> 00:54:46,873
We kind of cut that out.

903
00:54:46,873 --> 00:54:53,633
after seven and a half months, we stopped doing it mostly because they just turned into the same

904
00:54:53,633 --> 00:54:57,973
questions from week to week. And they were more, which is fine to have these questions,

905
00:54:57,973 --> 00:55:03,753
but the community aspect had started to dwindle and it was more just like tech support questions.

906
00:55:03,753 --> 00:55:08,753
And I love tech support questions and I will continue to help. I will continue to help everybody

907
00:55:08,753 --> 00:55:16,053
out that needs help. But I think that it is boring for other people to come in and listen to that

908
00:55:16,053 --> 00:55:18,973
when they really wanted to see the cool shit that people were building.

909
00:55:19,213 --> 00:55:19,513
Yeah.

910
00:55:20,013 --> 00:55:21,113
We've done it for a long time.

911
00:55:21,213 --> 00:55:22,393
It's time to do something.

912
00:55:22,493 --> 00:55:23,153
We're going to retool.

913
00:55:24,113 --> 00:55:26,453
We're going to take this tool and we're going to tweak it.

914
00:55:26,693 --> 00:55:27,093
And revive.

915
00:55:27,393 --> 00:55:28,933
We're going to revive.

916
00:55:29,313 --> 00:55:30,393
And we're going to come back.

917
00:55:30,753 --> 00:55:33,953
And I'll give you a sneak peek if you're on the podcast and you're listening.

918
00:55:34,613 --> 00:55:36,573
So we'll sneak peek.

919
00:55:36,573 --> 00:55:42,173
We're going to retool to make this more of an AOS vibe coding jam session.

920
00:55:42,533 --> 00:55:43,873
Which is and other stuff.

921
00:55:44,333 --> 00:55:45,813
And other stuff to let AOS is.

922
00:55:45,813 --> 00:55:54,813
And so and other stuff, which is the organization, the collective of builders and thinkers and vibers that we are part of.

923
00:55:55,333 --> 00:55:56,473
We're hacktivists.

924
00:55:56,633 --> 00:55:57,013
We are.

925
00:55:57,513 --> 00:55:58,313
We're nerds.

926
00:55:58,353 --> 00:55:59,013
We're hacktivists.

927
00:55:59,453 --> 00:56:00,693
We're all of that.

928
00:56:00,853 --> 00:56:01,933
We welcome all of it.

929
00:56:01,933 --> 00:56:12,673
We're going to we're not we're going to make it a show and tell because historically many of the people that are involved in AOS are horrible about bragging about all the cool stuff that they built.

930
00:56:12,673 --> 00:56:16,153
And I think that they need to because they're building really cool stuff.

931
00:56:16,573 --> 00:56:22,913
So I think giving us a medium to be able to do that, I think, will be fun.

932
00:56:23,193 --> 00:56:29,113
And I think it'll still be good for the community because the community can come in and see these early iterations,

933
00:56:29,433 --> 00:56:35,873
see Duke's Q&A sessions, talk with the people building, and learn about the tools that people are using to build.

934
00:56:35,953 --> 00:56:37,713
So I think the direction is going to be good.

935
00:56:37,933 --> 00:56:38,473
I like that.

936
00:56:38,473 --> 00:56:45,393
And it takes the spotlight off of like, I don't know, one thing or one entity and brings it back into the whole organization.

937
00:56:45,853 --> 00:56:53,313
So that some of the people who are a little quieter, as our group is a little bit quiet, not everybody's as loud.

938
00:56:53,833 --> 00:56:55,573
Derek and Heather, we're very loud people.

939
00:56:56,113 --> 00:56:58,753
But we're the extroverts, I guess, of the gang.

940
00:56:58,873 --> 00:57:00,213
And we have a lot of super talented.

941
00:57:00,353 --> 00:57:04,573
The best people are the introverted ones who aren't posting on social media all of the time.

942
00:57:04,573 --> 00:57:08,433
Those are the people who are really working and shipping and putting things together.

943
00:57:08,473 --> 00:57:11,433
Yes, these things don't mix.

944
00:57:11,533 --> 00:57:19,633
So they need the Derekster to bring out a little bit of that and bring out what they're doing that maybe it's just not in their personality.

945
00:57:19,833 --> 00:57:23,693
It's just not in their daily life to be like, hey, I'm getting on YouTube and a podcast and social media.

946
00:57:23,773 --> 00:57:24,713
I'm going to talk about my thing.

947
00:57:24,793 --> 00:57:25,753
I'm going to market my thing.

948
00:57:25,853 --> 00:57:27,253
I'm going to bring my idea to the world.

949
00:57:27,393 --> 00:57:29,453
Like the best people just aren't built that way.

950
00:57:29,593 --> 00:57:32,793
This is what I've noticed being in this space now for a couple of years.

951
00:57:32,793 --> 00:57:40,953
You know, your best producers who make the best things most of the time don't give a crap about posting online and talking about what they're doing.

952
00:57:41,033 --> 00:57:41,733
That's just how it is.

953
00:57:41,873 --> 00:57:42,233
Absolutely.

954
00:57:42,613 --> 00:57:43,193
I agree.

955
00:57:43,513 --> 00:57:46,553
I think that we're still trying to get buy-in, though.

956
00:57:46,693 --> 00:57:50,753
So there's been a few people that have agreed to it and thought it was a good idea.

957
00:57:50,853 --> 00:57:55,593
So we just need to convince a few others and then just schedule it and get people to show up.

958
00:57:55,793 --> 00:57:56,813
So we'll keep you posted.

959
00:57:57,273 --> 00:57:57,913
We'll keep you posted.

960
00:57:58,233 --> 00:57:59,573

969
00:58:31,533 --> 00:58:33,353
