Oddbean new post about login | logout Boomer asked me where I get the news that isn’t biased I told him about Nostr No algorithm and nothing gets censored/taken down Sure we got mostly jokes and memes but truly I do know what I’m reading here is real people’s real thoughts, no hidden agendas Most can’t say that in today’s world
Really? I've been asked this question many times. The answer is all news is biased. You can't trust sources. You must think and remain skeptical. Better yet, ignore 99% of the news. It has little value to ones life.
You’re missing my point. The information on this protocol is not being weaponized, at least definitely not in the aggregate, against me. And most people cannot say this about their information channels. Almost everyone is learning about the world through hostile channels from hostile actors.
I hear you. Nostr isn't popular enough yet for the influencers. Its better for sure though and I think if it does take off it will be better still. I was referring to the more general practice of trusting sources and bias. You will always pay a price for trusting sources to not have bias.
I do agree with that completely. I am just saying that, here in its infancy, the corrupting forces have not arrived and Nostr is people sharing real thoughts
Where do you find more news on here though? Serious question? There are just bitcoin meme pictures for the most part??
I guess I mean more the discussion It’s awesome that the discussion around here is “hey Milei and RFK sound cool but they’re obviously both huge psyops”
People share stuff like this! nostr:note1ln08equ9su3ausels0t8ag46a86ndq06y9kgv7r46mgmy7580p8qm8y3w8
I created a tool that uses AI to just make neutral summaries of YouTube videos. I use it to follow news outlets and Bloomberg. No editorializing. No clickbait selling you to watch the video. Just brass tacks of what it’s about so you decide what it means and if you wanna see the video. The AI doesn’t have a dog in the fight whether you watch or not like the video creator does. Furthermore, there’s something remarkable that happens when you drink it in via text. It forces the content to go through your prefrontal cortex and rationality via text rather than the emotional manipulation of video.
Is it possible to learn this power?
Yes just go to https://cascdr.xyz/?tab=chadbot . It is free up to 5 channels right now fren.
Is it available for testing? What's your plan for it?
Yes it’s current available for free at https://cascdr.xyz/?tab=chadbot . You just sign in with your Nostr extension then select the YouTube channel links you want to follow then @CHADbot sends you summaries and alerts to your nostr inbox. I am still retooling after the crazy @pleblab #TopBuilder2024 push and making a bunch of improvements. It is free right now up to 5 channels. I am in the process of making a paid option that is unlimited. Appreciate your interest and feedback! DM me with any feedback or feature requests!
Are you going to test it?
Unless your getting Nostr development news from here this is a terrible source. People are trash and spread what-the-fuck ever reinforces what they *want* to be the truth. Here is no different and it's just as susceptible. The reality is it's just a hard problem in this connected age with division and sensationalist based incentives. I didn't necessarily see it improving soon, but until it does you need to take many sources into account and look into sources and their money.
Good thing all non-boomers already know this
Many non-boomers still struggling with where to get info
