"Specialists in violence, the forefathers of government, increasingly devoted themselves to plunder and protection from plunder. Along with the priests, they became the first wealthy persons in history" - The Sovereign Individual Look to history to show what lies at the heart of government when left to its own devices.
Crazy how so many people dont get what the concept of ownership means. They get it in physical space, but in digital space, man, people just give ownership away..
β€œAI will probably most likely lead to the end of the world, but in the meantime, there’ll be great companies.” Sam Altman said AI might lead to the end of the world, yet he is building it anyway. No one is debating whether to build superintelligence anymore. America is racing to do it first. The only question left is: what world are rushing to build?

"Make your AI bed" - Jordi Visser Great advice
How many gigs of data does your average American have? I was wondered. Naturally, I asked the greatest data thieves in existence, the AI. The response was: Gemini: "The average American stores about 500GB of data in personal cloud storage, with photos and images accounting for the largest portion at 46%. Other types of data, such as text documents, take up 129GB, while music and audio files make up the remaining 6%." We "store" this hoping it doesn't one day disappear. How many countless family memories lie in an Instagram profile when once people held them in cherished albums relentlessly protected?
Does anyone know if Primal is available in Mexico? What do you think is the simplest client/ set up to engage and recieve sats (for an older person less technically inclined) ? I have a dear friend who lives in Cancun. She is a very talented artist that does everything from paintings to clay sculptures. She is active on Instagram but doesn't have the technical ability (or desire) to start a website where she could drive traffic in order to sell her art. She doesn't make any money at all for her art. I want to set her up on nostr because I feel she'll at least make some money from zaps. For her, even a small amount of sats will go far in her local economy (Sats to Mexican Peso). My intent is to set my friend up with the simplest client and bitcoin/lightning wallet to engage the social network side of nostr and showcase her art. She is older and would be using the sats she gets from zaps in the local economy. I plan on getting her a debit card that can link to an offramp/exchange. I'm thinking primal might be best as it's got a really nice interface and has a wallet already built in. As for the debit card, I might set her up with a coinbase card. What do the people of Nostr think? Is there a better set up? Anyone in Mexico who can steer me in the right direction? #ask nostr #onboarding #contentcreators #artstr #nostr4allgenerations
