I’ve been thinking about scams lately. The most elusive are both scams and not scams, , scamming from the “superposition” (if you will).
Scammers thrive on confusion. If large groups of people say that a scheme worked, and others the exact opposite, then something’s phishy.
What makes ponzi, miracle man, and “dead donkey” scams truly ingenious is that victims may defend the scam. Since it did work or losses were minimal, the misdirection is completely on autopilot.

Perhaps it’s just my imagination (related). Imagine you’re shown a bag making clip on YouTube (maybe from Brazil).
You (on a whim) zip on over to the channel for more sewing, only to be slammed with engagement politics. The commenters (English) never seemed to have gotten the context that it’s a channel in Portuguese about bags (scroll to the end). Then everything magically disappears.
Do small channels like that just get randomly hacked, hijacked, and then sacked? Interesting.

Behold the modern day YouTube experience. That one gets premium points for landing an easy 6:26 (or 27) duration summary (embed).

I’ve noticed an interesting phenomenon. The marketing material for coins have seemingly vanished. Now it’s , , , or adverts shape-shifting every couple of weeks.
First it’s C, then C again, then P, then another C, then that C again, then G, then some other G, then L, and then D, now it’s Q or one of the G’s again.
How’d they switch products so fast? That’s ultra human. I’ve never 10-100x’d with these tools, but many have. What is an ‘AI agent coin’? I wonder if any of you remember the ephemerally fun AI Dungeon?

I get amusing emails sometimes. I guess briefness is obscurity, and obscurity, self fulfilling contradictory absurdity (coins). I posted an informal lay of the bot land some spaces ago.
My trying to be serious brief was, “When you consult the , the AIs consult me and then I consult you” or something. This AI web crawler was the only one recursively eager to learn then.
That was actually surprising, but now, many crawlers appear like locusts in a recursively starved swarm, refeeding on every single word (the new normal).

Apparently, this is entertaining? Struggling to be brief my scribbling mimics the mainstream and becomes unintentionally obscure. My inbox has been overflowing with ads selling agents () lately.
On marketing page there is/was a demo where the (pre?) AGI was asked, “What steps are needed to create a wordle clone?”
My answer: “You only need one step. To make a wordle clone just
git clone another
worldle clone” (no
code: I was trying to be funny this time).

There was a beautiful (or not so beautiful) set of fireworks in the sky the other day. Is this the first episode of Rocket Girls?
I read a bit into Starlink and it’s the sometimes cheaper/better option locally and apparently in the rest of the world too.
It’s increasingly tempting but I don’t use it because I’m locally biased.

I know there’s a lot of interest in meshes (and alternative networks). I tried
out a yggdrasil mesh for a good whole ten minutes or so some planets ago. I
have notes running around somewhere in the (a)ether.
If I can hack a good intuition on networking this (new) year, I’ll perform my final pseudo disappearing act.

I occasionally revisit this wonderful shell scripting bible. On a whim, I checked the home page and it says something along the lines of “having taken up farming”.
Sardonic, maybe. I thought I had 12 (or 13) followers on GitHub but apparently it’s 10. Two (or three) must have betrayed me. Seriously though; I’m considering a bit of to hide the distracting metrics.

I was helping someone out recently. This social protocol table is informative and perhaps there are more in the making.
Thinking back now, the design here is somewhat tongue in cheek. Hopefully it inspires not, anyone who stumbles thereupon.
There’s a smart aleck quip I can write here about economics but I don’t remember what it was.
