HELLO NOSTR. DID ANYONE ASK THEMSELVES HOW USER MUST PROVIDE PROOF-OF-WORK IN ORDER TO BE VERIFIED AS AUTHENTIC HUMAN CONTENT?

It is a nice but naive believe that attention is drawn to quality; because it is mostly drawn to whatever exploits human dopamine receptors fastest and easiest. I cannot say why, but AI writing – and AI generated contet in general – seems to be good at that. Quality will only win for a tiny minority. And for me, writing for that extreme tiny minority is my only excitement.

The car is a really a non-perfect example. But the point is important: Everyone is all the time only thinking about themselves, nobody cares about you. How you look, what you say, what you do. This is particularly important to remember in any negotiation, in any smalltalk, in any social situation really. Even if you do the dumbest thing, people will deep-inside envy you for the courage to do such dumb things – wishing they had the courage to be just as dumb as you are.

Always remember that the person across from you more worried about their own performance and self-image that they have no time and no mental capacity to judge you.

By shifting your focus from “trying” the other person to like you or to do what you wish, to how you can help the other person to feel respected and more significant, you can achieve your own objection much more easily.

They, just like you, have a deep need to feel valuable. That is why you are so concerned about yourself, just as much as the other person is concerned about him or herself. If you then provide a genuine feeling of importance to them, they will naturally become well-intentioned toward you and your plans.

If you are negotiating or trying to achieve a goal, just frame it in a way that it increases the other person’s own importance by helping you.

Easier said: as soon you stop focusing on yourself and start giving your full undivided attention to the interests of others, they will ironically find you far more attractive and interesting as a partner.

Let go of your need to protect your own ego and instead acknowledge the other person's perspective.

If AI is ultimately capable of doing everything we as humans are capable of doing, does this increase or decrease the meaning of the things we choose to do?

It increases the meaning, because we choose to do it despite AI and robots capable of doing the same thing for no cost. It increases it, because we will do whatever we will still be doing out of inner inspiration and deep purpose.

The fear that AI will create a meaning crisis would mean that AI can ‘take away our meaning’, but meaning is not the result of outer validation or economic value. Meaning arrives when we unite what our heart is longing for – our inner calling or ‘purpose’ – and start acting on it with clear intention. Meaning is when we do something for the sake of doing it, not for the sake of accomplishing it.

If technology allows us to accomplish without doing, it creates a vacuum. This vacuum is neutral. It is neither good nor bad, it simply exposes us. It reveals whether we were living an authentic life from inner purpose – or one that was shaped by external forces. How we will react to this vacuum is going to be everything. Either you numb this vacuum with endless stimulation. Or you move beyond it. Moving beyond the vacuum means starting to live. It means rediscovering action as a creative expression of love. We will start creating for the sake of inspiration, exploring for the sake of curiosity, caring for the sake of love. We will stop doing something because the world demands it, and we will start doing things because something in us demands it from us.

Technology that is capable of doing what we are capable of doing is not the threat, the threat is technology designed to replace living: technology that is designed to capture our attention at any time, to manipulate our reward systems, technology designed to fill any silent moment of our life. And this technology is not coming, but already in our hands. And perhaps the real crisis is that many humans do not yet know what they would be doing without necessity forcing them and technology distracting them.

Last night I dreamt this month had magically 7 additional days. Since waking up I only thought about how great this would be.

It is a nice but naive believe that attention is drawn to quality; because it is mostly drawn to whatever exploits human dopamine receptors fastest and easiest.

Anyone saw Gemini announcement videos? No normal persona can differentiate between AI generated video and authentic video anymore. Full stop. There is no way social media can exist, without cryptographic signatures in posts and in media, without humanity going down the toilet.
