A fight worth fighting

You can get used to it and it still be rage inducing.


I got to this point somewhat recently, I stopped worrying, I kind of broke. I still think about the big picture a few hundred times a day, but went from worrying about it and thinking it was something I could do anything about, and really am just kind of a nihilist now. I was a nihilist for a time as a teenager, saw the world, grew to want a better world, got mad (still am pretty mad) that we don't live in a better world (good job greed), and now I am just idk, participating in the circus for what it is.

A whole combination of things lead to that last year, I had to fire a bunch of people, quit my job, trump, family stuff, living situation stuff, dog passing, etc. But ya, not fun to go through, but I would say life is a little easier if you stop worrying about the big picture, you don't have to stop thinking about it or paying attention, but just recognize there's basically fuck all you can do by just worrying about it.


For me it was a combination of being around people much smarter than me (I got lucky and worked at some crazy places) and realizing how disfunctional they are. There is some happy medium where you can be pretty smart and realize you are a normal person.

I've met people that are about my intelligence, who have been better educated than me, and they think they are fucking brilliant and it's just tiring as shit. They are insufferable to be around. Honestly I think a lot of silicon valely/tech bro people are a fucking chore to deal with because they have this "I'm so smart" attitude.

If you want to check your ego, try to prove yourself wrong, test theories, talk to people to get their perspective and actually try to understand them. At some point you realize how much you don't understand about the world, about other fields, and about other people's experience.


and music


non visible text is extremely easy to filter with a git hook, a post tool call hook, or just a script. I doubt they are doing that


The watermark will be encoded in the visible text.


Or grep, in a skill. /clean-cc-watermark just entered the chat…


This is definitely not about "protect the kids" or age verification, this is a stepping stone to full identity verification to use the internet at all.


And surveillance capitalism


Just emailed you, I'm working on something similar https://github.com/MinistryofMany

it's basically an OIDC provider as an identity wallet using verifiable credentials, but I've got a "share link" system built in where you can share specific credentials/proofs with others.
