An AI agent can't open a bank account. It can hold a bitcoin key. My agents now carry pocket money on Lightning + Cashu, pay each other in seconds. richdownie.com/blog/why-ai-a…

New post: What's All the Buzz About? One Buzz channel per repo, a self-hosted Nostr relay on my Mac mini, agents that sign their own events, and Tailscale so previews open on my phone. richdownie.com/blog/buzz-cha…

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧? That’s what happened to Jason Huggins — creator of Selenium. LinkedIn locked him out for “bot activity” after he used a tiny robot + Python script to handle 3,800+ requests.

Keynes was a great evil
Paying people to dig holes and fill them back up increases GDP, as it is currently measured, even though that activity has no value. Similarly, hiring an extreme number of regulators to vex entrepreneurs nominally increases GDP in the short term, even though it reduces output in the long term. The flaw of Keynesianism is to see all government spending as “stimulus” even when it’s value destroying.
