This is a pretty dope image imho. I'm going to use this for the flyer for my next event haha
A little late to the party on this one. Thanks for the tag
It's an interesting thought. The frustrating thing is that for me and a lot of other creatives, we don't know where our ideas come from. I could be unconscious assimilation of your total human experience, or maybe the divine.
If it's the first thing than A.I. might be able to compete because it already has consumed more knowledge than any human alive, but it doesn't live. A.I. doesn't experience love or heartbreak so its art may never be as true as someone in tuned with their emotions. However, A.I. being able to make art that's more beautiful than a human could is up for debate. Because its trained on all human works it most likely creates the most common beauty and the new role of the artist is to make things that the A.I. wouldn't think to create. But then once you make it, the A.I. can do it 10 times over.
As of now, A.I. doesn't direct the art, it just makes it. This allows for people with no artistic ability to create images that have profound symbolism. You could theoretically take all the art people have made and create the most common imagery found in all works. This might lead us to a better understanding of ourselves and the symbolism that guides us.
as a thought experiment I just asked chatGPT this "Think of all the art in the world and all its symbolism then create an image with the most common themes / symbols incorporated into this image
make sure its coherent and makes sense as an image"
and it gave me this image
So nothing totally revolutionary. You won't see that image in a museum anywhere. But it makes you ponder a little bit about our own humanity.
Ultimately it's a tool and you can either use it to enhance your art or you can stick with your own life experiences. Both are valid and I find myself in the middle ground. It helps come up with a premise or themes and can sometimes help with refining works. But TBH because of A.I. art, I've been sticking to physical art that you have to build or craft with your hands.

I'm letting the bitcoin community decide if it's worth it.
Little more back story: I started dating this girl last year but this year she got this job staffing events. Her boss kept adding to her plate and eventually I never got to see her. There was one night she got to my place close to midnight and just passed out from being so tired, then woke up before sunrise to her boss calling her. She left for work that morning with tears in her eyes, without even a cup of coffee. When I saw that I decided to do something about it. So I ventured into the land of A.I. fought my way through all the hogwash and created a chatGPT bot that handles all of her event staffing through sms messaging. It's saved her 20 hours a week for the past month, and 3 days after she started it got 75% of her events fully staffed. Since it's been working so well for her I'm opening it up for other people and just onboarded my second customer today. (you can check it out at www.pepur.xyz)
I know Bitcoin needs some real world commodity sales to really push it forward, and there's really not much competition in a bitcoin only play, but it's a slow build and time consuming, and I have 2 customers at the moment.
So basically, I have many of the setup for the coffee business already done, just turning everything on costs a little cash (ironically around 100k sats). So if the SN community wills it I'll consider it worthwhile.
The synchronicity of moving to El Salvador and my next door neighbor being both a tour guide and a wholesale coffee supplier has just made me feel like that's what I was called there to do, and I'm currently not doing it, thereby ignoring the call.
I might be late to the party. But You don't need an A.I. to summarize articles. There are some pretty good algorithms that summarize text that have been around for decades and don't use any deep or machine learning. (i.e. non computationally expensive).
I've worked with these algorithms before.. happy to help
That's fair. I'm not grifting lol. I'm just a libertarian and want all the nice stuff that we have (like auto loans, mortgages, etc. ) with out centralized banks. I feel like ordinals might be the key to that
Learning from history is valuable and can help you create the future you want.
Learning from historical mistakes and accomplishments is really valuable for acting in the present
I think you might be new this cycle, so you may not know history. None of these ideas are particularly novel or original, and have been raised and debunked ten thousand times. They all suck. Yes this is shitcoiner talk.
I'm actually not new. I know the history and the tech. One of the main problems with regular NFT's and their 'debunked' use cases is their barrier to entry. Bitcoin is the best for sure. There really is no other coin that matters. It's the only one that would be worth using for regular currency, which means the biggest problem with NFT's (their barrier to entry) is hardly a problem anymore. There are really interesting business models that haven't even been discovered yet using tokens. I'm not talking about internet business either. I mean the real world. Mass adoption wont happen unless using bitcoin is logistically better. Not just ideologically. Ordinals open the door for that.
or a coordinated attack to temporarily distract or slow down usage and adoption.
If anything they're going to bring more users onto bitcoin. So many "shitcoiners" are working on bitcoin now and there's only going to be more and you think that's a bad thing?
There's more utility to ordinals than just jpegs. In a hypothetical world without a government, having your car title or deed to your house as an ordinal instead of a physical piece of paper would make sense.
Things in the physical world that require proof of ownership could all be data saved as ordinals. That's the kind of thing that would make it a standard currency. Like if your mortgage was an ordinal that was locked into a descrete log contract, you could get a decentralized/crowdfunded mortgage loan (i.e. no bank) as a descrete log contract that you pay bitcoin to each month. If you could pay your mortgage in bitcoin, who would sell?

Just the ability to throw together a frontend website using a framework like react or angular. Idk if you can do plain HTML pages on vercel but if you're gonna do that just use github pages
