technology, philosophy, and silly stuff.

we are past the point of trading personal data, so we’re building the trust layer for the age of AI on open web protocols.

so #google and #openAI have rejected the UK government’s proposal to allow creators to opt-out of AI processing their work for free

the fomo is so high that governments being terrorized by big tech with the argument of “bow or stay behind”

how have we got here?

this is a call to creators ✍️ 📹

we are testing a new set of social tools so you can protect your content from AI scraping 🤖 and build relationships with your audience across platforms ♻️

think of it like Bluesky 🦋 meets Linktree 🌴

looking for feedback in return for free access to the tools 🤙🏼

that moment when your younger sister says something so profoundly wise 🤩 but when did this happen? how old am I?
March 25, 2025 at 7:50 PM
been seeing vibe hackers everywhere complaining that the software Cursor built for them is not secure and/or vulnerable to attacks

are we reaching the top of the hype cycle?

the x people is so different to folks here. it generally feels stressful like everyone is trying to prove something to the world with every single post.. what are your thoughts?

🔥 released a new version of the developer platform. highlights:
- build decentralized apps using standard web technologies, nothing new to learn
- leverage decentralized IDs without the need for blockchain wallets for your users
- hackathons and rewards launching in march

if you tell me you’re building agent identities using OAuth, you’re not innovating. you are part of the old guard

blockchain had been around for close to two decades now.. yet adoption of web3 projects with real world value is still faltering. no memecoins don’t count.

i’ve always thought this had to do with the UX. new languages for devs to learn, new tech for users to familiarize with.

what do you think?

Keir Starmer just announced his AI vision, and trust me, this isn’t your typical political soundbite—it’s about reshaping everything from jobs to innovation. Let’s unpack this!

is the amount of stimuli nowadays too much for our primitive brains to handle? having a major 90s kid nostalgic moment. the times i've been most happy and productive are the times i've left my phone in the other room or the times i don't have internet access

What’s the general sentiment here about airline services since after covid? Am I super unlucky or is the service getting worse across the board while prices still soar?

that struck a cord.
It’s ok to feel sick over the state of things.

Privacy, that’s Apple 👀

Till it’s not cause “anyway we’ve been making so much money from our Ads network since we started selling privacy ($7.5Bn last year to be precise) so we can easily afford to settle silly money like $95Mn”

The question is what is the alternative?

had the best new year hike today at a famous mountain area in Thessaly, Pelion

i find awe inspiring views that make you think deeply, to be one of the best ways to recharge

so here's my thought - why are these hike paths not packed in Greece?

Anyone who’s tested o1 pro with coding yet? Feedback?

How often do you ideate with AI?

I saved 3-4 hours and probably over $500 by ideating with AI before doing structured interviews / questionnaires.

So my mom almost got phished today and had to spend like 2 hrs on the phone figuring out all the possible compromised accounts.. we are in 2024 and we are still stuck between password managers and big tech platforms owning our online identities. But hey, we got text to video AI

This is neat 🔥 I added my web agent to my bluesky profile and just passed a copy of my private key so it’s stored within the app and can trust it’s me.

I can load my P2P apps or I can get auto logged-in to my website’s WP admin.

Zero integration needed 🤓
