 The protocol is super resistant to censorship since it doesn't depend on a few trusted servers to move or store data. You can connect and share stuff through lots of relays that you can switch up whenever you want. That means no single authority can shut you up. 

 I don’t know but please do. 

 Idk but let’s name it noogle 

 Freedom comes with the good news and fake news. Nostr can not solve this. It simply allows both sides to present their case and allows the user make the choice of what one to believe is factual.... 

We live in a world where information is so available and abundant, nobody knows what's actually fact anymore. We all out here just regurgitating information we've picked up or come up with ourselves. 

 On top of that it’s mostly one sided. Hoping nostr can help fix this 

 Twitter is a great search engine just because you have people talking about everything. So the solution is building a reliable and flexible search, and getting as many people as possible to post. 

 A combination of the worlds biggest distributed ledger/server/network and Nostr, crowdsourcing data processing mix old school Napster 🤔 

 🤔 go on… 

 - Napster provided a centralized server that indexed the files, and carried out the searches. Individual files remained on the hosts' computers and were transferred directly from peer to peer.
- The Pirate Bay, seed & leechers, Torrents, the BitTorrent protocol
- The Bitcoin protocol, the blockchain is roughly half a terabyte now
- On a site to download a torrent there’s an info hash and a magnet link

Argh it’s all just brainfarts 😵‍💫

Can a client index files and carry out searches, files remain on the hosts’ PC, linked only to your nsec and an info hash on the Bitcoin protocol, could you store the entirety of data on the internet on everyone’s PC without storing data on the protocol? 

 I feel like I’m talking gibberish 🥴 

 Best shut up then 

 Totally true 

 Y’all just need to learn how to use Google. 

 google is dead, chatgpt has replaced it 

 Few 

 My googling has declined significantly since chatgpt came out. Do I choose between manipulated crappy results that are going to waste my time talking about everything other than what I actually want to know... or a service that gives me exactly what I'm asking for (correct or incorrect, manipulated or not). Easy choice. 

 Ask chatgpt what temp steel melts at.  Then ask chatgpt what temp jet fuel burns at.  Then ask chatgpt what caused the towers to call at freewill speed on 9/11.  Then try to get chatgpt to see the error in logic.   

 I honestly think Ai is our best bet for solving this. 

 Hard disagree.  AI can be trained on facts and still produce hallucinations.   Archive.org and good altnews sites like corbettreport.com and unlimitedhangput.com that source their research in the transcript, that's our best bet.  

 You have mistaken LLMs as the only Ai tool. That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about stand alone service provision, vectorizing the internet and massive amounts of data, then being able to contextually search it with tools *entirely independent* of Google. 

This requires a handful of different models, but this was a nightmare a few years ago of you were trying to do it yourself (or impossible really). Today, with open source models and agents to search and collect data, doing this is a vastly more viable challenge. The combination of that and the likelihood of aggregating databases in the open source community I think will be really interesting, especially as the pressure builds to solve this growing problem. 

 It’s just feasible now on commodity GPUs (mid-range gaming ones) to perform semantic analysis and retrieval of documents using a persistent vector database. 

Where this is gaining traction right now is businesses (and individuals) semantically indexing their own private document stores, to be able to search and retrieve on them in a similar way to how Internet search engines do the public Internet on a much larger scale.

A decentralized version of this is conceivable in concept, but there are all the usual issues of trust, authentication, data integrity, etc. that arise in the context of multi-agent systems with bad actors. 

 I would think that running your own relay would allow you to ensure that there is a copy available of whatever you publish, regardless of how much it goes against the approved narrative 

 Why don't anybody here talk about archiving, I'm curious. 🤔 

 It doesnt matter shes cute as hell so really it keeps giving us all hope.....    

 Decentralizing technologies reduce the power of centralized monstrocities  

 we get all the NOSTR geniuses and developers together in one room and then hack the servers and goto war. LOL 

 Been thinking a lot about how navigating the web could be decentralised, anyone know if anyone is working on something like this already?
