#540: Exposing Operation Chokepoint 2.0 with Caitlin Long

🎯 help you bring ideas into reality That's one thing I've struggled with, I've got lots of good ideas but I need assistance and assistants 🤭 to help me move forward to completion

What I would like to see more Nostr apps doing is hiding the fact that they are Nostr apps. Just obscure it away so normal people think it's a normal app, and not a power app. And let the features and usability make them a fan without them realizing it

Custom scripts for everybody! 🥳🥳

Ya there's definitely nothing wrong with waiting. 6 to 12 months from now it will be much more capable, and in order of magnitude easier to set up

I've been setting up mine to automatically log conversations. I've been feeding it all of my notes and business ideas. Everything gets automatically cataloged into obsidian. That obsidian vault is included in the QMD database for vector memory search. My agents have excellent short and long-term memory with minimal token usage. To set it up right, you really need to spend quite a while setting it up - or buy the files from somewhere. I've been setting up going on 3 weeks. It has already made me more productive. Soon my calendar will be synchronized. Client leads with automatically be filtered and surfaced front and center to me. The more you use something like this, the more you will start to understand how you can compound little abilities on top of each other. One cron job can trigger a cascade of events and work. I have used simplistic bots for many years. I used to have one that would pay my child support for me. That ran with no issues for about 5 years before they updated the site and broke my bot. I used to use another one for automatically populating descriptions and titles for an online store. At that time, I was replacing an employee with a simple bot. These things have been providing real value for people, for longer than people assume. Again it all comes down to how you use it and what you're doing with it. 6 to 12 months from now the landscape will be much different. Right now it's very hard to set up correctly and easy to burn money if you don't know what you're doing. But soon a lot of these things will be ironed out and much more normal people will be able to get higher value from it. On top of that, every time the models get better or cheaper, that means you can also upgrade your system to be smarter or cheaper.

I don't know who's spending $1,000 but you doing it wrong. I spent $15 in the past 3 weeks with more usage than I've ever had. It all depends on the model. But If they are also using it to do scraping and analyzing, it's not exactly simple work. And if you compare that to a human being doing the same work - that $1,000 is probably much cheaper than a human spending the time manually scraping and analyzing. I think I saw a graph recently saying that Claude opus outputs - in one prompt - between 5 and 15 hours of human work. Obviously that's not on every prompt, but that's pretty substantial even if it's expensive at a 30 cent API call, then maybe it's an extremely good deal. It's all very relative to what you're using it for and what your accomplishing in the end. Some of us have been playing with AI models for years already so we already know how to prompt better and we get better results. You've got to keep playing with different models - talk to them in different ways - and be explicit, try to remove ambiguity. And if you're having problems writing prompts - ask one AI to write a prompt for you to give to the other.. and that will often increase your chance of a one shot successful prompt

Ente is "en tay" ✔️

Top notch recommendations all around

I recently verified a sock puppet Google account using Jmp too. They are an excellent anonymous Google Voice/esim/sms alternative

Cheogram aka https://Jmp.chat Gajim on Windows too It's basically a complete alternative to Google voice and how that works. I have been using it for years at this point and it's excellent

Sounded almost like he called her "former CAA officer." Probably some overlap with both agencies.

Every guy who comments on the video of the New Orleans terrorist's home mentioned the "reporter's" painted-on pants. Bubba's wheelwell LEDs are a distraction to fellow drivers but it's okay for chicks to walk down the street wearing these things 🤣

Real rich listening to NVK complain about using the state when he's the fagot who attacks people in the community with bullshit trademark infringements. That's why I bought a BTClock yesterday. Everybody should buy a BTClock. Fuck NVK in his slobbery stuttering mouth

Raspberry Pis are little pieces of shit, but they are fantastic for some use cases. I have some that have been running for many years consistently with no problems. It really depends on what you're trying to do with it. For always on, lightweight servers, they are fantastic. I think I currently have six that are on in another six that are currently powered off

I really like the format of this show and how it is listener-driven. Tons of great information in these shows. Zigbee is something I need to look into more. Home Assistant has been on my automation to do list for a while. One of these years I'll get around to playing with it LOL

This podcast was awesome. Tidwell is a perfect example of people calmly and thoughtfully explaining a view that people don’t like getting zero engagement. Sad. Even on Nostr the ragebait gets the clicks. Well worth the listen.

Yes, we want forks🍴🍴🍴

I will make a correction - bitchat was mentioned. I overheard somebody asking somebody else if they want to try it. It sounded like a group of two or three people were going to try it at Lake Satoshi

I can also confirm that I know someone who has a relationship with their chatbot. He asks it all types of questions, mostly about God and politics. He is an otherwise smart individual, a Latino business owner about 45 years old

Ok I didn't realize the front end of OwnTracks will work in conjunction. That is pretty cool 🧨

Dawarich is brand new and for iOS only? Solid pass. Use OwnTracks for self-hosted location tracking.
