I suppose. To me marketing implies revenue as in its definitional meanjng

business process of identifying, satisfying, and connecting with customers to promote and sell products or services

Bill Gates talking about the internet, who owns the OS the networked computers run on, kind of misses the point. We could just as easily say that what nostr needs is a generational entrepreneur to create a product and business that impacts the entire world.

Most people do not care about censorship resistance and identity ownership and the way to show them the importance of those issues is not marketing. Education yes but now we are maybe crossing the line of simple semantics.

Do you realize how much marketing and educational material people made around this notion of the INTERNET? Do you realize every...

Looks like the entire project is AI

Not sure how to feel about it but I know I do feel differently

Wild times, man

AI cannot do biological elegance, but if humans stop outsourcing their humanity to institutions, and let AI handle abstraction, something remarkable becomes possible.

The question is not: “Is AI replacing humanity?” The real question is: “Will humans finally stop trying to behave like machines?”
