Dropping in to share this timely piece on “intelligence” in AI.
“Intelligence has never been an objective quality that can be ascertained the way we measure the (actually increasing) carbon in the atmosphere. It is a political device that preserves power and care for those deemed worthy of it, and which simultaneously withdraws such care from everyone else. Its latest incarnation, with that modifier artificial, asserts its power through programs that wash accountability from the programmers: control, wealth, and power run up to founders and investors while harms run down to the rest of us with no possibility of redress. “
The nice thing about AI hype cycle is now we see people for who they really are.

While I think AI can do a few select things well, the cult obsession with it has been annoying since day 1. I missed this article from last year and it pinpoints my frustration by noting the similarities of Horowitz’s claims regarding AI to those of L Ron Hubbard of Scientology fame. Essentially anyone who disagrees should be punished. Horowitz simply claims those who resist AI are murderers… In any case worth a read if only to understand/ escape the cult. https://archive.is/uvz6d

The real reason all the tech bros are falling all over themselves for AI: groupthink and social signaling. You don’t get to be part of the fascist in-group if you are not parroting the latest hype.
“The latest fad amongst tech CEOs is no longer "founder mode", or taking drugs that they would fire you for taking, or telling everybody to return to the office — it's demanding that all work be AI-first! This is a great idea if you think nobody at your company is great at what they do.”
“There's an orthodoxy in tech tycoon circles that's increasingly referred to, ironically, as "tech optimism". I say "ironically", because there's nothing optimistic about it. The culture is one of deep insecurity, reacting defensively, or even lashing out aggressively, when faced with any critical conversation about new technology.”
Dash goes on to say that smart workers know which technologies to use and when and how and don’t need memos or midnight merges of vibe code to do their job.

Follow packs simply reinforce the popularity contest. They do not help people discover new users. Bluesky where this feature originated has the same problem. New users show up and get little to no traction unless they had a presence on X.

I thought about zaps after I posted, but the key term is experience. Zaps repurposed an existing experience which has led to all sorts of adoption problems. Not because they are inherently bad - the concept is good, but the experience is problematic on several levels.
Ecash is walking a line of legality that has too many unknowns.
I’m not sure what blossom is - but would be curious to know more.
My understanding of DVMs is that they are custom feeds similar to what Bluesky has. This is playing on the edges of experience innovation, but it’s not enough. Exhibit A is all the chatter on Bluesky about echo chambers and needing to remember to go look at the feed w/ flowers.
It is 1000% amazing that people are experimenting. And it should absolutely continue. There’s so much untapped potential to build new and better experiences from the protocol.

lol. Perhaps I will get inspired to start a newsletter… There’s the easy answer and then there is the question of why is everything here a copy of something else. At a 10,000 ft level ActivityPub and Farcaster innovated with their protocols and experiences. Nostr and ATProtocol only innovated at the protocol level. Both face challenges as a result.

The news relay is/was an early experiment in segmenting content. Many news outlets are running rss feeds which can clog feeds. The news relay allows you to get your news while still seeing the other things in your feed.

I think this is an interesting approach. Until recently we did not encourage users to check out the global feed much on Nos. We also included some filters on the relay for hateful content and I believe porn but I’d have to double check the latter.
I would be curious to hear from folks if the issue is too much of what you don’t want to see or simply not enough content you want to see.
I rarely look at a global feed here after too many encounters of porn. I rely on the people I follow to show me new and interesting users.

Nos has a news relay that anyone can subscribe to. We recently added more news outlets to it. You can add the relay to your list: news.nos.social
If anyone has suggestions of other outlets to add let me know if the replies below.
We can spin up a bitcoin news relay pretty easily as well, so if you have ideas for that one include them below.
The apps I’m aware of that make it easy to view relay content are Nos and Damus. You can the Nos version below.

Every round of research asks for more, diverse content eg different types of content.
I regularly share articles from elsewhere but they receive little traction here. It’s possible people read them and forget to repost them or they zap them and forget to repost them. Or people just want memes on Nostr.

I’m excited to see a conversation starting about the limitations of social media when it comes to social change. For far too long we’ve been duped by dopamine like hits into thinking posts have the power to incite change.
Awareness is not enough.
“What makes this a cultural event isn’t that somebody killed a CEO, but that millions of people refused to respond the way they were supposed to respond.”
The response from insurance companies was more security for CEO’s and from elected officials mostly scolding. How dare people not grieve the loss of the powerful. Note the Chief Justice John Roberts reiterated his concern about the threats to the Supreme Court in his 2025 look ahead instead of acknowledging that credibility has been severely degraded under his leadership.
https://howtodothingswithmemes.substack.com/p/luigi-and-the-memes
Memes are only the beginning.
The second article is both a critique of how social media has been weaponized by the left for performative politics as well as a guide for how to take small steps forward. The former is a much needed wake up call. The righteous callout culture also sometimes emerges here on Nostr. Mostly between people who are building so it is less toxic, but it may still be unnecessary and distracting.
“We need to have room for disagreement, for trial and error.” Rejecting a know-it-all culture of condemnation, means being honest about the fact that no one has all of the answers. Eman emphasized that “no one knows quite what to do next, because this moment is unprecedented.”
https://organizingmythoughts.org/wading-into-2025-how-to-begin/
While humans should take responsibility for their use of social media, these articles also illustrate that there’s still a huge opportunity for disruption to social app UI. One I’m excited to tackle in 2025.

Nos.social gives everyone a NIP05 during onboarding for free. It’s seamless.
To answer the question of why NIP05 I also had the same question bc you can change your NIP05 at any point and the rest of the network can still find you. What it does give you is an alternative to the npub to share with people so they connect with your account and not the 40+ other Jack’s on Nostr as there should only be a single instance of a NIP05 at a given time.
Also if you come to Nos and get a NIP05 it works everywhere on the network. The NIP05’s are not client specific

The web app makes it easy to share Nostr content with non-Nostr users. They can open the links in a website and ideally be encouraged to create an account.

@npub1daa…8w5z writes about parenting as a dad, so if you have kids…
@npub1f5k…vk2u is another artist focused on street sketches. I love her work!
@npub1q33…mqu0 streams music from his own mastodon server but through Nostr. If you are in Europe it’s definitely worth a listen in the morning. He occasionally posts about technology but only related to his own setup.
@npub1jcw…jyrz is an advocacy organization for digital privacy in the states. Worth following if you want to help fight KOSA and other uninformed legislation.
This is a challenge we spent some time working on earlier this year and recruited the above folks to feature or join Nostr.
If you are familiar with the flywheel effect, Nostr is a bit stuck on the turn around the bottom. The tech is there, there’s a group of enthusiastic early adopters but they are struggling to bring more folks in. Lack of diverse content is a major barrier however there are other challenges as well.
Someone joined a few weeks ago, introduced themselves and was bombarded by welcome messages to set up a wallet. The person left within an hour after noting they were not interested in Bitcoin. There is nothing wrong with enthusiasm however we need to meet people where they are. Not everyone is excited about Bitcoin and we should respect that and instead discover what they are interested in.
Censorship resistance is a lagging motivator meaning a person will only make the switch when they have personally experienced shadow banning or outright banning elsewhere. Yet most of the Nostr marketing in the wild leads with this selling point. Ask 5 average people what they think that means and what the social network behind it would be like and you’ll begin to see why the flywheel is stuck.
With that said the protocol is incredibly flexible which means there are lots of opportunities to build around and/or through these challenges. And there are many developers and teams doing good work.
My sense is that 2025 would be a good year to start linking all the pieces together. Less traditional keynote talks and more interactive working sessions focused on specific use cases.
I’m personally excited about the possibilities as we head into 2025!

Tried to capture the Northern lights but they are not out yet or not this far south. The stars are nice though https://image.nostr.build/193b88857a8de7510ffb7d28f1b3eada106606659753aef848feff7a0daa0658.jpg

While the world may seem like it is on fire, people often don’t / won’t act until they feel like there are no other options. Revolutions work best when people have nothing left to lose.
Big tech’s hard lean into AI for surveillance and job replacement means many more people have reached a point where something new is possible.
I’m personally excited about the opportunities 2025 brings to decentralize technology ownership and by extension communication technology and media etc.
There is so much potential to make a much better future.

Relays provide the decentralization in Nostr. Instead of posting to a single server that is controlled ultimately by a single CEO, Nostr allows you to post to multiple relays (servers). So if one goes down or decides to remove your post, there are still other places for people to obtain your content.
The apps eg Primal, Amethyst etc communicate with all the relays to find the content of the people you follow in order to show it to you.

What about apps that don’t offer micropayments or do all Nostr apps have them except Nos?

Experimented with a drawing app for photos. Works for landscapes, not so much for people.

🙄 This airline can’t even get you from point A to point B without delays and then spends $ to shame its customers. I already avoid them but this is even more incentive. https://apple.news/A9k9E6tw2To2CRE-OGKvgEg

Unfortunately the kids are on YouTube. It’s the Boomers and I guess Gen x’rs who are on Facebook.

One login, many apps.
Build your network once and access it across a multitude of apps. The Nostr protocol is the first to offer true portability.
Update the image to the right to show a bunch of Nostr app logos.
Subsection 1: 1 key pair gets you full access
Nostr uses public/ private key cryptography for login and identity management. This set of keys gives you access to any app on the network.
Sub-section 2: Own your social graph forever
Once you build your network it is tied to your key pair. It travels with you wherever you log in.
Sub section 3: Apps for almost anything
Text chat in the global town square or privately, stream, blog, share photos and much more. Link to Nostr.apps
Sub section 4: Build your own Nostr app

This field has tripped up a number of folks bc it is distinct on Primal and not on other apps, so if a user enters their website on Primal thinking it will populate across the network, they will find that it doesn’t.
Most protocols have standards, it would be helpful to get a baseline established for things like profile and kind 1 notes as well as links.

I would say it’s also about showing people the magic of Nostr rather than telling them. The magic being your social graph goes with you everywhere.
What are the use cases of encouraging people to download and install a second Nostr app?
If I am in Damus and I see an event from CoMingle that I want to RSVP to in comingle - what does that workflow look like and how do we make it simple for folks but also give them the ah ha moment?
I don’t have the exact answer but that is the path I would pursue based on onboarding people to Nos and then Primal for zaps. You could see the light bulb go off when they logged into Primal with their nsec that they created in Nos.

Interested in getting a FairPhone for testing on Android. Does anyone on Nostr have one they use with a Nostr client? https://shop.fairphone.com/fairphone-5
If so do you like it? Do you have any concerns?

I found some new accounts to follow that I was not aware of + excited to see one of the Nos Creators make the list!

Extreme inequality leads to political instability. It’s nice to see other countries trying to take some action on this front. https://www.theguardian.com/news/2024/nov/18/be-brave-and-impose-minimum-tax-on-worlds-billionaires-urges-spanish-minister?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Bluesky is an app that runs in on the AT protocol. Nostr is a protocol. People can’t go to an App Store and download Nostr.
The apps need to market themselves. Marketing the protocol simply gets you more developers.
There are other factors related to branding that are not helping Nostr, but starting with the apps instead of the protocol goes a long way.

I would be curious to see if Nos.social works better for you. It’s still in TestFlight in most parts of the world but we’ve done a lot of work to improve the editor and prevent crashes in recent months.
