This newsletter is such high signal -- is there a better one in all of bitcoin? Interesting link from section discussing a lightning / AI hackathon:
Flow, from Alby co-founder Michael Bumann and engineer Adithya Vardhan, won the Agent track by providing the n8n community, which is building popular no-code workflow automation software, with L402-enabled access to ChatGPT. This means that anybody anywhere with an Alby wallet can “build radical new AI supported workflows without the need for accounts” and use “frictionless instant payments across various workflows and services.” We love the focus on expanding outside of the bitcoin community and helping non-technical end users seamlessly use Lightning in their day-to-day activities!
All the crazy activity in this space makes me want to go back to being an engineer. Such an astounding amount of new ideas and new things being built at the intersection of btc (esp lightning) and AI-related stuff.

Ryan says the newsletter takes him a day. I don't believe him.

The only way that's possible is if he's incrementally adding all the things as they come in, and then it takes a day to knit them together. Otherwise, pants on fire.

I think that is what he said he does. It's less like a knit though and more like embroidery lol.
Maybe he writes the little think pieces and explainers as they come in too though.
