Episode 228: Tokenless

Sorry I haven’t boosted in boys. I’ve caught your episodes on YouTube more recently and have forgotten to send value. Love the AI talk. I am diving back Into using the creative tools, midjourney, runway and eleven labs. These are all closed models, I dont care for using an open source one because I want the best quality right now. The open sourced tools will make their stake in the coming years like how the open sourced animation software “Blender” has. Slow and steady.

I had a breakthrough with my meditation practice earlier this year. It’s called heart centered meditation. In three steps you slow your exhales, focus on your physical heart, feel the emotions of Love, gratitude and peace. Cycle through them or focus on one of them. Align your nervous system first Kyrin. Zen Brain, Zen Heart, Zen Gut. Anchor Zen with positive emotions, everything is emotional.

Dave, the magic of midjourney is not that it spits out something pretty decent the first time, there’s a new type of creative process you need to experiment with. It’s not just about variants, use the “blend” feature and “describe”. Look at how it describes your personal images and craft your prompts based on that. Give it specific instruction on how the Logo is shaped. If you used “a logo for” then I see why you feel the way you do but IMO there is something special about midjourney. I used it for my short film and a dropshipping store and was very pleased with what I got. Experiment more!

I also don’t care about robots until I get my own R2-D2 that follows me on my Jedi adventures.

The real question to ask about AI is “is it making you and your company more money?” These models are compressing data at such an incredible rate, Juan can evaluate real estate soil quicker, but until one of us makes F U money directly due to AI, all predictions are fuzzy imo.

I used IndeeHub to publish my 2020 short film The Break In. Based a true story of somebody breaking into my apartment while I was sleeping. Check it out on IndeeHub or on podcast guru. Lightning enabled movie.

Always love hearing Zack talk about movies, creativity and Bitcoin being essential for the future.

Imagine being so dull and mindless you need a computer to tell you how to live life. Do not use AI for any sort of higher wisdom. Definition of vapor-ware

I’m getting leaner along with kyrin. I’m experimenting with Hot Yoga too, my first session is on Monday, we will see how it goes and how I feel.

Sounds like Kyrin will be making an annual Florence trip

Losing 69% of my investment in AMC taught me a lot. Maybe I should start a podcast.

Bubbles are ment to be blown bigger

I really love how you guys have artists in discussing bitcoin. It’s truly the most important thing for this culture.

The free market will bring Bitcoin forward. No leader or mandate, we vote with our sats.

Two thoughts on Trumps crypto games: 1. He has decades of history branding his name on easy to market products, the memecoins are no different. So business as usual I’d say. 2. A - government and monetary policy are going through there own little ICO phase, history proves it all leads back to Bitcoin. B - every other shitcoin being valued by the government has zero impact on either inflation worsening or Bitcoin in general. If printing infinite money and increasing debt is a problem, I can easily see why pro-crypto-Trump-world wants these other coins. The creation of more crypto does not negatively effect the US. The continued creation and hence devaluation of the Dollar does. Trump made a joke about writing a crypto check to cover national debt, if the US legitimizes crypto and uses that as a path to cover debt, that only helps bitcoinization. Am I crazy??

Hey great talk with emily! A bitcoin board game is probably one of the most unique creations in this space. I need to buy it.

Outing myself by saying this is the first time I listened to anything @npub1qny3tkh0a… and I think he’s cool. I’m very bullish on bitcoinization, Trump presidency will be unprecedented for many things I believe for the prosperity of everyone, with bitcoin being the foundation of it. Great episode.

It’s a mood is a vibe!!

Great talk with shooter, now I want to checkout his documentary. As a director myself, I see why he wants to get his movie on the big platforms but with tools like RSS and Nostr I think those big guys are becoming irrelevant. Along with bitcoin specific platforms like @npub1ah55ex8qs… led by @npub1k59c304ce… there is big opportunity to grow a parallel streaming culture. I spoke to him on episode 139 of my podcast, He has a real vision. Maybe “No more inflation” will find a streaming home there. I know mine will.

I loved this episode and your talk with open mike. Listening to you guys for the first time today, im happy there’s a bigger community who sees the vision with Nostr and podcasting. Checkout my podcast, ep 141 specifically, I share my thoughts on why other podcasting 2.0 enabled apps should consider integrating Nostr and put their own twist on it. There’s big opportunity here.

I’m falling down hard into the Nostr rabbit hole. Falling deeper in love and inspired.

Lex Friedman sucks. He blocked me on Twitter and now hearing his “deep work” bullshit makes me so happy I’m barred from seeing his life advise for a productive lonely life. Your focus in life should be to love your family, yourself and be healthy. You two are on it.

I thoroughly love this podcast and am getting more into Nostr because of you guys and fountain. When it comes to AI music, I’ve enjoyed making instrumental Jazz/swing on Suno. AI vocals suck. I might publish what was made, but have never seen myself as a musician. For the app, would you ever consider having a radio station for each genre? I think that will help with discovering artists in an easy way.

Two points: 1. Joe Dispenza is interesting because of the biological information he shares that is connected to your life experience. There’s an old phrase I grew up with that is connected to this; be aware of your thoughts they become words, be aware of your words they become actions, be aware of your actions they become habit. You train your biology when you think a certain way all the time. 2. It’s very interesting that every medicinal study takes into account the placebo effect. I tend to think that means the mind is more powerful than people give it credit. There’s untapped power in everyone.

“I hate sand, it’s course and rough and it gets everywhere” - Kyrin Down

Charlie Kirk was the most powerful American citizen in American History. He brought RFK jr and Trump together, he lobbied for JD For VP. We are in a spiritual war and the dark side wants your fear to take over. You must choose peace in your heart to fight back. LIGHT VS DARK. we are seeing a revelation between the spiritually awake and spiritually asleep.

I’m ready for Kyrin’s TRT phase as he deadlifts more

The most interesting thing sandy from YouTube said was in regards to YTMusic and main YT “People start, stop and pick back up in different places”. Makes me think as a producer of podcasts, it’s smart to have Video as apart of “the full package” so I can take advantage of that consumption truth. Be available everywhere even if the video is a static graphic. People will still see your brand and if you make quality content then it only helps not hinders.

I have been @npub1v5ufyh4lk… ride or die since the beginning. The social side of the app has always been the coolest thing, and now with Nostr, it’s been enhanced by a degree almost unseen. Lets go!!!!!

I literally downloaded primal a month ago and now there’s a huge update. Really great talk to the guy who built it. The more I think about Nostr, the more I’m into it. It’s only because Fountain became a client that I got Nostr curious. I see the value.

Phenomenal conversation! I had the privilege to visit Marks Raw Farm in April 2024, a true once in a lifetime moment for me. His cows are healthy and tested daily. His families milk changed my life. I’ll be reaching out to talk to him on AMERICAPLUS soon. Hearing him talk gets me so hyped and inspired.
