I thought it was interesting that the General told us / confirmed what every government wants to do with AI, double confirming the need for local AI models running on local hardware. Freedom fighters need this ASAP. #ImagineIf

Are you using Z.ai's GLM 5.3? I use it daily. Anthropic just named it a threat. https://www.anthropic.com/research/glm-5-3-and-the-spread-of-advanced-cyber-capabilities

Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! I have a call with this handsome many here this morning. Let him know that you're still bullshit. 🫂💜🤙🏻 https://blossom.ditto.pub/7de01c2e1568fe8b40a1a941e6458de230d89f650662916a94546bad6d9bfc23.jpeg

Gonna need a new name for on-chain zaps. They're not Lightning. There is no "zap" involved. Someone call up the head of marketing and put some top Nostriches on it.

2026-03-20 20:40:18 UTC

working on something... recommend me your unique and fun nostr apps. i don't want twitter alternatives. i don't want instagram alternatives. i don't want spotify alternatives. an exception here would be a wildly un-mainstream take on this type of content.
your recommendation should heavily dive into the fun and other stuff of nostr.
thanks.

I spent the morning giving an AI seminar with local business leaders. The room was full of people trying to figure out what AI means for their future.
Here's what I told them: the skills that matter most in an agentic world aren't technical. They're deeply human.
The 3 C's of success in the age of AI:
Creativity: AI can generate, but it can't originate. Your ability to see what doesn't exist yet is your edge.
Critical Thinking: AI will give you confident answers. Knowing which ones to trust is the real skill.
Communication: The people who can clearly articulate what they want — to humans and to machines — will run circles around everyone else.
The future doesn't belong to people who can code. It belongs to people who can think.
KEEP THINKING.

my man dot gif. we have to use these tools and test them in real world scenarios so we can give feedback to devs to build better products. we are the quality assurance teams for the masses.

I need a movie recommendation for tonight. I can't make a decision. What's something that you've seen this past year that you've enjoyed?

Confirming that this npub NOT compromised.

@nprofile…0pev is a quick and easy solution for on-boarding to nostr with zaps.
Coinos is down right now. Users cannot access funds.
Trade-offs always exist with any solution.

Wait... Is this a thing? For 1M sats I will send you a personal GM and PV every day until @nprofile…dlnm decides to turn Nostr off. If I miss a day, you get your 1M sats back. 💜🫂🤙🏻
This is a shitpost, but I'm also medium serious.

Don't like KYC? Don't use Strike. Don't mind KYC in exchange for one of the best if not THE best platforms for Bitcoin? Use Strike. It's pretty simple.

Primal for iOS has multiple account support. I didn't know that. Primal for Android does not have this yet.

**Attention new plebs that joined Nostr:**
While you're trying out new client, don't just go and enter your private key everywhere. This is like the private key for your bitcoin. You want to keep it safe. There's an extension that can help with this. Either [nos2x](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nos2x/kpgefcfmnafjgpblomihpgmejjdanjjp) or [GetAlby](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/alby-bitcoin-lightning-wa/iokeahhehimjnekafflcihljlcjccdbe). These extensions essentially hold your private key and help you sign transactions, so you don't have to enter them directly into a website. Once you have these installed, visit metadata.nostr.com and setup your profile picture and your NIP-05 ID. If you're using the Damus app, this doesn't apply to you. Enjoy!
Want a NIP-05 ID? nostrplebs.com can help you out with that. 🤝
