They just contradicted their own argument 😂

I know. I got a signed copy of that book at Bitcoin 2025. I like it, but it seems to me that the fact that the "code is sovereign" means there is no single person who can make an exception. I heard you say something similar. Bitcoin can change, but it requires consensus from like 95% of the networ...

Come to think of it, Cason has been a huge influence on this project. He's said Bitcoin needs to be taught with pedagogy and I agree. I learned about pedagogy after completing an English Teacher credential. I never got a job because I don't meet the teacher ethos, but that's why I use pictures times...

"AI has driven the cost of idea generation to zero" okay fair, but what about idea quality?

I like being the source of all ideas in my relationship with AI. Honestly it's shown me how many of my ideas are terrible, and that's amazing! What if I had gone all in on a terrible idea and it cost me a ton of time and capital? That was just the way of the world before AI.

Now I have a sounding board to talk about implementation with who actually knows what they're talking about. I don't believe them when they say "This is a genuinely unique and amazing idea" but I do believe it when I ask technical questions about how we could make it a reality. When I the pieces aren't fitting together the way I thought, I stop and reassess if it was actually a good idea or not.

Bad ideas are needed too, but only if you learn from them to come up with better ideas. I've been learning a lot with the help of AI... Some of it the hard way, but probably not as hard as it would have been without AI.

AI is a tool. It's useless without us.

Agreed. You can’t remove the human from this. The human is who creates from the prompt based off the image they see in mind. The source of ideas is still mind. Bad AI outputs is a result of the human behind the prompts or failure of the idea.
