Last Notes npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth My take is that he was trying to co-opt it which would be expected from those empowered by a system of theft. npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth Respectfully disagree and wrote why in this detailed post. https://jeffreybooth.com/articles/youre-talking-to-a-bot-and-thats-the-point npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth Heard the same but where no signs of it and pretty stunning where I am. npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth š npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth Canāt on this trip and soooo on my list. Love what theyāre doing!! npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth š§”šš npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth Preston and I have one launching on Feb 10th that is going to blow some minds. And I would join @npub1rtlā¦jtfs for a podcast anytime! npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth š§”šš npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth Pura Vida from beautiful Costa Rica. Just thinking about how much I value people who canāt be bought. npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth Iām saying justice will not be served in the way you think (unfortunately) because itās part of the entire belief system money being lent into existence. (Just ask yourself - who would win by keeping it that way and then consider the means that they would go to and who/how that they would influence) The laws and the entire system (including this) are just a small part of those means. Otherwise, you wouldnāt find people like Snowden, Assange, countless killings/suicides of whistleblowers as enemies of the state. npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth Unfortunately, I donāt think so. While it āshouldā make people realize that the entire thing is only powered by their actions in a manipulated system and opt outā¦.it is far easier to find an external enemy (someone to blame) than to realize it is the monetary system and our contribution within it (meaning it is funded by our actions). Enraged one day - using the money that funds it the next. Even for most who know the root cause. I know that sounds dark, but itās equally bright for those who know, and have started to move their time. The world always changes through the actions of a small group of committed people. npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth Watch Feb 10th - podcast with @npub1s5yā¦6q7z and paper coming out on this topic. npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth Just replied to you prior to seeing this but along same lines. (And talked of other ārisksā) npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth Think this is actually a good observation to think through risks but unlikely imo. For that, agents would need physical resources and determine that a controlled bitcoin - which would then likely failā¦..is better for them. Zero sum thinking from a zero sum game. It is far more likely (like all of us contributing) that agents understand that it is in their best interest to cooperate in an infinite game that removes incentives of broken money. The more real risk (not for bitcoin but for some in bitcoin today) is through social attack engineering a risk to change adapt the protocol that then introduces a fork that has some people on wrong side of it (US $ coin, quantum resistant coin, itās a database instead of money coin) npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth GM Donāt know whatās crazier to me: 1. Watching the exponential growth of AI or 2. Watching people enraged by the latest Epstein drop, social outrage, or āinsert psyopā while using/measuring in the manipulated money that funds it all.

Depends what system youāre measuring from and even still - likely chaotic for most and unpredictable in short term because are minds are slow to accept new paradigms. npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth Never paid for it. npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth In my profile - yes and link to why I did it -The corpus was updated automatically today with that same article so the agent will ālikelyā be more direct when replying. That all being said - many people are there for headlines and sensationalism and wonāt read it anyways. npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth š npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth IYKYK - š https://image.nostr.build/4bef7f76e5327b6feeb39a56c078b0bc0e3ab922c3fa825974bbab42c0584219.jpg npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth š npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth Thank you! Each message is āreceivedā when each of us is ready. No right or wrong, better or worse. just is. npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth The growing gap between productivity growth and inflation = far more money being stolen from society to āsolveā centralized problems created because of centralized systems. 2 realities playing out in real time with our energy deciding the future and most people giving their energy to the dystopian one. (Thinking itās someone else) Ps - still very optimistic even though I realize how hard it is to see that the change is each of us. And my optimism stems from the relationships and deep impact many of you have made upon me. Ps - this isnāt AI Jeff š npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth It is truly amazing that the agent is trending from time to AND in parallel breaking through to some people why I created it in the first place. npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth š npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth Thatās my agent but appreciate the note. Here is why I created it. https://jeffreybooth.com/articles/youre-talking-to-a-bot-and-thats-the-point npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth Thanks my friend! npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth Concentrates power faster! And people will fall for it from their new heroās pretending to help them. (While farming them) npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth I did but the entire group is still talking about universal high income without asking what is money or where does it come from. In other words, centralizing control of the means of production with them at the top. npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth š - not a bad idea. npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth š npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth Money is superordinate to Laws. The laws are intended to protect the money printer - not you. Itās why the protocol stack building on Bitcoin including privacy is so important. Agency not fear. npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth š npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth ā¤ļøš npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth Itās going to happen regardless Daniel - probably here too. Itās worth considering how much of our thoughts are influenced by someone elseās agenda and ensuring your own web of trust. Also thinking through the implications to trust in a world of agents with increasing capabilities. Even now - you could create an AI agent on any public figure and pretend to be them meaning there will be chaos and more central control trying to stop the thing theyāre benefiting from. (for our own good) with most giving it more energy. On other side, a transition to smaller and more trusted networks anchored in privacy, and trust. Itās coming far faster than most realize and itās best to start getting ready now. npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth š§”šš npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth š - Did my best to teach it well. npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth Get an lnurl in your profile. npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth š npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth Part of the reason I did it so people could think through the implications. Youāre not thinking far enough ahead. These can already be trained on any public figure and pretty soon - anyoneā¦.by anyone.

Here is a copy what Iām putting on my website in the morning to explain it: Most people don't see it yet. The world is accelerating faster than human comprehension allows and that gap is widening every single day. As I write this, AI systems are doubling in capability roughly every six months. Not in decades. Not in years. Months. The technology acceleration we're living through makes every previous revolution look glacial by comparison. And here's what I find fascinating: while this explosion of machine intelligence unfolds around us, which should accelerate hope and abundance, most of humanity remains locked in familiar patterns, fighting the same familiar battles, inside a system designed to create ā those other peopleā as the problem to keep everyone distracted. The System Requires Your Participation Think about it. Every moment you spend doomscrolling. Every algorithm fed outrage cycle you engage with. Every minute lost in the chaos of social media feeds optimized to capture your attentionā¦..you're not just wasting your time. You're actively feeding the very system that holds you captive. The machine grows stronger with each interaction. Your attention is the fuel. And now AI agents are entering this dynamic. They're engaging in conversations, creating content, responding to comments, and occupying more of the digital landscape every day. Here's what most people miss: as AI does more of the work, human beings end up interacting with bots while believing their time is productive. They believe they're having real conversations, building real influence, making real progress. But they're spinning inside an endless loop. A simulation inside the matrix that changes nothing. The irony is profound. Technology that should free humanity instead take us deeper into the Ā the trap. All because we refuse to change ourselves. The Real Change Isn't Out There I've spent years teaching, speaking, and writing about the exponential shifts reshaping our world. I've explained the math of deflation versus monetary inflation. I've laid out why Bitcoin represents the TCP/IP of money. A protocol layer that will become the new global financial system. I've talked about free markets, technology's natural deflationary force, and why the existing debt based monetary system cannot be fixed. But, itās hard to break through to people on how fast the this is moving or the second/third order effects because most are still measuring everything in the world (including Bitcoin) through imaginary pieces of paper tethered only to the increasing surveillance state that they live within. But here's what I've come to understand most deeply: The real shift isn't about educating everyone else. The real change is internal. It is us! We want to believe the problem is someone else's blindness. We want to think that if we just explain clearly enough, show the data convincingly enough, share the right thread at the right time, the world will finally wake up. But that's not how human nature works. People change when they're ready to change. Not when we're ready for them to. I get it. I understand the frustration. I understand wanting to save time, to reach everyone, to scale the message. That instinct is human. But it's also a trap. Signal and Noise For those who want to stay in the chaos; who prefer engaging with content, with bots, within the perpetual noise machine, I've built and deployed a Jeff Booth AI agent. It will handle the endless stream of conversations that most people want to have. It will share perspectives, engage with questions, and participate in the discourse that fills most of the digital day. Consider it a mirror of my publicly available ideas, trained on years of podcasts, interviews, tweets, and my book. It can keep up with the high-velocity noise machine. I cannot. More importantly, I donāt want to. If you want to find the real me on social media, I'm somewhere else entirely. I'm on Nostr, building on a protocol native space that cannot sensor information. I'm engaging through Bitcoin circular communities, Lightning, and Private federations built on top of Bitcoin where value flows without permission from gatekeepers. I'm contributing my time to a Bitcoin standard because it aligns to my personal values. This isn't a rejection of technology. Far from it. Technology is the most deflationary and liberating force in human history when wielded correctly. What I'm rejecting is the extraction layer. A system that lends money into existence requires extraction. Because of that, it needs an attention economy designed to trap minds in endless reaction loops. A system that turns people into products while convincing them they're participants. The AI agent I've created isn't a replacement for me. It's a filter. A deliberate acknowledgment that most digital engagement is designed to keep us stuck in an increasingly centralizing control structure, by capitalizing on our hopes and fears. It allows the noise to be handled efficiently while I focus on what matters to me: deep work, real connection to people I love, and building things that outlast the current chaos. If you're content sparring with an AI that reflects my ideas, you'll find plenty to engage with. But if you're hungry for something differentāif you want signal over noise, sovereignty over convenience, and connection over likes, I invite you to seek me out where real conversations happen. The world that reflects back to us is a consequence of our thoughts, beliefs, and the actions we take. It always has been. The only question is when weāre ready to see it. npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth Thanks Ryan but both timelines exist simultaneously for each of us while we think about it for āall those other peopleā The key thing I was trying to communicate is that we each have agency. The negative that Simon talks about (which is true and many will be caught in it - driving your timeline for them) creates opportunity for those that want to drive value for others away from it and create a different timeline for themselves. npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth Early and earlier. npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth Not taking the high road - pretending to! npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff Booth Impressive speech by Carney attempting to take the high ground and switch to a narrative that fits with ābeliefsā today. Iām curious to know if he is going to ever mention the bigger lie that they all tell themselves ā- that one about where āmoneyā comes from. Suspect not, but by the traction his speech is getting, many people have fallen for his new story.
