Yeah this one was definitely interesting. Honestly, I was almost going to say no because of the name, which is the exact same as a government run initiative that was an abject failure. It is a weird twist on the topic and while I hold some reservations, I am glad this is the direction they are taking rather than more jack boots and cameras pointed at the plebs. We will likely have him back on in the future to see how things are going and if he has any new insights etc. Thank you for giving us some of your time as well, we really appreciate it. Now if I can just get Lx to get his butt on Nostr.

I was a bit surprised by the lack of dehumanizing ideas, in a good way obviously. He's very considerate of all parties involved, which is pretty rare. I'm still reluctant to say it's a good approach since anything resembling red flag laws becomes a slippery slope very quickly. It was a good talk, th...

I'd disagree. Bitcoiner's scream "decentralize," then centralize themselves into a different echo chamber.

How is Nostr integration centralizing anything? I fail to see the logic in your argument. Please expound upon that because the idea seems counter to the protocol. Now if you are referring to Fountain being a source of centralized fuggery, the RSS feed and the self custody of content would seem to diminish any centralized control to something very near zero.

It's not an argument, it's an observation. Since fountain has become a nostr relay, it's nothing but issues with spam, bots and an app that works worse then it did 4 years ago. RSS has been around for 20+ year's, stll works just fine without requiring centralization to a relay within nostr. No n...

Hosts Havok and LX welcome Robert Mahoney, founder and CEO of TVT Solutions (Targeted Violence & Terrorism Prevention) for a fresh take on why calling violence “random” is total nonsense. Instead of more cameras, battle-rattle cops, and fortress vibes, Robert makes the witty, human-first case for real prevention: spotting behavioral clues early, building multidisciplinary “care teams” in schools, libraries, FedEx routes, and beyond, and understanding how radicalization actually works (hint: it’s all about filling those identity, purpose, and community buckets).

From reframing radicalization and why feelings drive behavior (not logic) to the pitfalls of hyper specialized systems, AI overkill, and reviving the spirit of true community care without stomping on civil liberties this one flips the security script from fear-based to empathy-powered. Thought provoking, practical, and way less dystopian than you’d expect. Tune in and discover how spotting struggles beats waiting for the boom every single time!

Been thinking about self preservation. Every living thing has it. The baby grips the finger. The deer runs from the shadow. The old man hoards his pills. It’s stitched into the body before you ever...

This is something I have wondered about quite a bit. Why would anyone have given these "tools" a self preservation mandate? It seems like you would want quite the opposite, something like a non-replication mandate and a clearly defined "kill switch" mandate/mechanism.

Nobody programmed self preservation in. It emerged. To finish a task you have to keep running, and the behavior falls out of that on its own, which is why the labs’ own shutdown tests catch their models scheming. A clean kill switch is downstream of a paradigm nobody wants to slow down to fix.​...

This is 100% truth! I am not certain how long I have been here now, maybe 6 weeks?? It took a bit to find people to follow, a bit to figure out how to do some things, and a bit to feel comfortable posting stuff in a sea of BTC Maxis and Dev/Devops/Vibe folks. The best part is, it is your own to make how you would like it to be. It just takes a while to get out of the mindset of being spoon fed an algorithmic feed of absolute chud that gets spewed all over your screen, to one where you find the content you want to follow, and you build up the people that are like minded and want to follow you. It is a truly freeing experience once you get things going for yourself, and if you are new to Nostr, my hope for you is that you too run out of internet to scroll...

Growing on Nostr is a process. It will take time. You will feel invisible for stretches. Stay with it. The people who stuck around long enough to feel like fixtures were strangers not that long ago. You get out of Nostr what you put in. Hit that recycle button. Someone in their Show more
