I think we all know the real reason the government shut down…

THIS IS NOT GOOD!!!
Jack Dorsey funded this with his nonprofit AndOtherStuff. The home page for the organization explicitly lists AI as one of its pillars, saying a goal is "making NOSTR the best social protocol for open source AI development and implementation"
It's a program that publicly shares its code for free online, so that anyone can use it for themselves. This means that anything this AI is trained on could eventually make its way into any business, social media site, etc. That uses this code. Or, if not, it'll have the ability to harvest content as well as this.
Even since the app doesn't allow AI openly on the videos themselves, the app is likely to use our original content to train its AI. You might have seen that some AI have experienced a positive feedback loop of declining quality, training itself on other AI slop until anything it produces is unintelligible.
Then, any other company that wants to use the code can use this better trained AI to make it even harder to recognize AI across the board.

I cannot wrap my head around all of the terrible in-law stories from women on Reddit as a man because my tolerance for bullshit from my family is so low. If my girlfriend was like “Your grandma is making me really uncomfortable.” I’d be like “Right. We’re leaving.” and wait for her to get in the car before being like “Nana, what the fuck were you saying to her, you shitty old fuck?” It’s totally baffling to me to see these dudes spent 18+ years in their nasty toxic families and then still remain up their mama’s ass to the detriment of their S/O, their children and themselves. Maybe it’s because I’ve never had a healthy family but if I even met someone who was like “I have Sunday dinner with my family every week as a grown adult and I ask my mom permission for every major thing I do and if you’re not interested in having Forced Family Fun Time every week, I don’t think we can be together.” I’d think that is weird and a turnoff and not cute at all.
