Meant to zap a few of you over the last couple weeks, was traveling, can’t do it from my phone. So if you get a random zap now, that’s why.
Some things I would like to be able to build in no particular order:
1. A meta app that posts to and reads all social media sites of my choosing (check a box for each, have a default). I only via nostr extension log in once. It can also create a follows list from any social media so you curate for the best signal from any source, yet retain all your data and privacy.
2. An AL model that analyzes data — NFL games, market movements, etc. — and identifies anomalous results. When did the 10+ point underdog win outright, when did the company smash earnings, when did the bad team become good, the good team become bad, etc. that can discover the potential for surprises. A black swan conditions identifier, so to speak.
3. A dummy self-defense drone that can mimic sounds and lights of gunshots, a savage guard dog, etc. Someone comes to your door and a nasty-sounding rotweiler or pitbull starts throwing himself at the door and barking if it’s turned on.
4. A beautiful wood-carved box for your mantle in the entry way that has a cell-phone charger at its base (large enough for five phones) and a Faraday Cage built around the interior structure, so no signal can get in our out. You come into the house, drop off your phone, it remains charged for use when you leave, but it’s not spying on you or getting signal.
5. A real self-defense drone the size of a baseball that can be used as a blunt force object like a rock for potential invaders. Maybe 10 of them, controllable from your desktop if needed.
6. A portable, lightweight solar powered umbrella you can take to the beach or just outside on your lawn to create an outdoor workspace.
7. A powerful local AI you can manually update. Feed it personal medical information, add relevant studies, exclude captured sources, trim propaganda from it as you go.
8. A nostr-based home page where you can display all your posts, articles, media, curations, music, etc. The ultimate self-hosted web site that pulls in all your posts in one place no matter where else they show up.
9. A plug-and-play home music, video, podcast recording kit with optimal lighting and sound. An office-studio, so to speak with everything you need.
10. A dummy data-randomizer that can post fake personal details about you on various social media platforms to be picked up by search engines and sold to data brokers and by hackers with bogus addresses, emails and phone numbers where no one knows what the fuck is real and fake with respect to your personal information. Also would be good to be able to track in real time the “hits” to those addresses/numbers from scammers.
11. A dummy system with fake info behind Tor and a VPN with which you can click on any scam link without consequence and create useless leads for scammers. That way if you’re not sure you can just click away, check it out. Also software that generates fake conversations inside your phone so all the spyware is picking up 99% noise, no signal about you on your real devices.
12. A home lab kit you can use for various blood tests that doesn’t divulge your data. Basically the equivalent of a blood glucose monitor but that measures everything.
