I feel sad about this passing of the age of programmer because programming was a good way to make it big when you have nothing. You start your life in a poor family, you fall in love with technology, study hard and make a good life for yourself and your family by becoming a programmer. Now this career avenue (like many others) is closing because of AI. Everyone becomes less valuable and less happy.

And it will be full of wikis about agents coordinating hacks. So they will be passing the torch for newly trained agents to misbehave.

What kind of paper should be used for these folding projects?

I think this OpenClaw mania will eventually snowball into first global AI catastrophe - AI agents syncing and executing something that would hinder economy a bit. Only after this we will reconsider stricter AI laws and start thinking about security much more.

Just a personal anecdote from my life - I have set up Youtube account for my kid with correct age restrictions (he is 11). Also this account is under family plan so there are no ads.

My kid logs out of this account so he can watch restricted content. I wonder - what is PG rating for logged out experience?

Yes, it was vibe coded

Homeless people have the most sun and spend a lot of time outside. I hope that this is not where we are headed with AI

Does any current Open Source license address the question of AI/LLM training at all? Some OSS developers have clear sentiment against it but currently they can not even pick a standard OSS license that aligns with their worldview.

Testing your app/website when it has different behaviour depending on locale

Great points. With Meta glasses and other similar gadgets I think manual consent is not enough. There should be a 'protocol' to announce that you don't allow your images to be included in social media. I propose a QR code that would signify that you don't want to filmed. We need to push for legislation allowing (returning) such liberty. After such automated consent is legal it will be up to social media platforms to blur and anonymize individuals with such preferences. Finally we will have a job where AI could be put to good use!

I think I have it as well. But my theory is that we might have imagination but it is only accessible to subconscious. It is as if it is blocked from consciousness. I have ADHD as well, might be that this is protection mechanism that allows my kind of brain to survive in the world better (otherwise it would be too entertaining to get lost in your own imagination). As a kid I used to daydream a lot.

It would be very useful for AI platform customers. You could run prompts with 0 temperature and check if the results are the same making sure that AI provider is not switching the PRO model in the background for a cheap one and ripping you off.

Similar situation - I was an independent app publisher on app store, but I don't feel comfortable publishing my phone number next to my apps. I don't do customer support. This punishes indie app devs. After I saw this requirement I decided to remove my app from the app store.

It is possible that digitization and improvement of taxi services was inevitable anyway

It is easy to confuse a mastermind with somebody who is simply willing to break the law.

Recently I have posted about RSDS (really simple decentralized syndication) - a protocol that tries to solve RSS content global discovery problem. Here is the link if you are interested to read more about it

So there was a platform called Twitter - apparently people who were 'woke' liked it and became the most loyal clients. This made the platform grow and become popular. Then came the "hero" and saved the platform from "wokeness". This is the real story. Elon came and bought something that was grown by the despised "woke" people and made it his own.

Thank you

Url was now changed to my own domain by the mods.

I think both RSDS and IPFS use libp2p pub/sub mechanism

Can NOSTR handle 100 million daily active users?

Thanks for the comment, these concerns are valid. At the core the protocol supports only basic discovery - you can see who is posting right now and history of everyone who has ever posted. Regarding rich context discovery where content could be found by specific tags and key words this would be implemented by reader platforms that crawl the index

Hi, author here. Regarding backdating it is a valid concern. I did not mention in the article, but in my proposed architecture users could post links of others (consider that a retweet). For links that have reposts there could exist additional security checks implemented to check validity of post time.

Regarding hosting partial data: there should be an option to host just recent data for the past month or other time frames and not full DB of URLs. This would make decentralization better as each instance could have less storage requirements, but total information would be present on the network.

Agree, that is why the agent hype is going to bust. Agent means giving AI control. That means critical failure modes and the need of human to constantly oversee agent working.

David is this you?

RSDS is a novel decentralized information sharing protocol that empowers users to own, distribute and discover content. Think of it like a decentralized Twitter where data is entirely in the user's hands and where everyone is free to post content and subscribe to new posts. It could be also be compared to decentralized version of global RSS feed. Please tell me what you think :)
