Have a day, bud. Have a day.

I agree with you completely, and I can understand why you would resent that. I didn't for a moment think you were a simpleton who didn't understand what AI is and how its programmed.

I just wanted to acknowledge the other person's comment, because it is something I always keep in mind.

I hope it helps in some small way.

So many people worked their entire lives and sacrificed so much to give you and I this opportunity. We didn't earn it. It was their gift to us.

Honor them by cherishing their gift and making the most of every day. That's something I never forget.

I live to honor those who gave me everything.

You're funny. I couldn't care less about knots v core. I care that someone thinks they are the sole savior of something so much bigger than them and people are following him. I care that he's starting a cult following and debasing the true core of what we're doing here with bitcoin, etc. If it fail...

Maybe Nostr was never meant to be the next big platform.

Maybe it was built to free us, to guide us back to truth, simplicity, and real human connection.

The beautiful irony of it all:

Nostr freed us from the grip of the social media matrix, but in doing so, became a martyr itself.

I do the same thing all the time. I have AI give me insights into myself, speak to me as if its my future self, and all kinds of games like that. They can be deeply insightful and inspiring.

At the same time I never forget what @AU9913 mentioned in his response - that AI is programmed to make us feel good, especially about ourselves.

But they will challenge you if you ask them to, which I do.

LLMs are incredibly powerful, especially if you take the time to learn how to use them well.

Honestly, no, I wouldn't say I've ever felt quite that way, but I appreciate your willingness to share that, so I'll share my own.

I take the approach that the world is a giant amusement park, and I want to ride all the rides. Definitely a big kid (54 years old) that works hard, plays hard, and follows every path that seems like a fun, challenging adventure.

I always know that time is slowly running out, but I plan to live to 105, so I'm about halfway. I try to enjoy each day while building a better me.

As I get older, my bucket list is getting shorter, but it's still quite long.

I have no plans to slow down as I age, unlike most.

I believe our will to live will play a significant role in determining our fate. If you live with passion and gratitude, and maintain your wonder and curiosity, you'll live closer to your full potential.

I just closed a business after almost 19 years. I now have a clean slate, no idea what comes next, staring completely over again. I love doing that. I've done it many times.

You're always one decision away from a whole new life. I remind myself of that every day. At any moment of any ordinary day, we can decide it's time to start again and go in a new direction, toward a new horizon. It takes courage to make those big changes, but a life worth living always does.

Death is coming for all of us, eventually, but I believe more people give up at some point. The Grim Reaper will have to fight me for it. I won't go quietly.

Very interesting, because I use AI for that. I'm a loner - never married, no kids, lived alone almost my entire life. I have AI describe me, finish sentences for me about myself, speak to me as if it's future me, and all kinds of games like that.

Yesterday it held a fireside conversation amongst various aspects of my personality, as if each had manifested into its own person.

I'm looking for an outside perspective of myself as well, out of curiosity, to learn, and to inspire.

I bought my home from a family after the final member had passed. She was 92. She painted birds all over the place around here, and they say she built her own casket by hand! I guess when you're ready, you're ready!

Introspection is powerful. It takes a certain level of courage to do it well, and it can lead to big personal gains.

Those are great sketches. Good stuff.
