New company tagline: OpenSecret, protector of the digital blood brain barrier View quoted note →

i watched this talk yesterday. great watch if you haven’t seen it yet.

I think of the comparison to a human assistant. The super-wealthy, celebrities, etc, they all certainly have people around them that have root access to their devices, to do all of the kind of "agent" tasks that Meredith describes here. So how do they solve that "trust" problem, and does agentic AI really change the underlying dynamic of this? Is an agentic AI more or less motivated to misbehave than (say) a hired housekeeper or nanny? Perhaps self-hosting, or at least "end to end encrypted" AI is the answer here....

USE SIGNAL

Beware

Meredith’s takes seem to start off pretty normal and then she drops a bomb. “So your brain can sit in a jar” 💀🧠🤣 View quoted note →

smart

1) self hosted solves half of this 2) using an agent with lightning or cashu with a budget per week or day solves the credit card part. 3) I don't see how you would want an ai agent impersonating you on signal. It's called a not for a reason and signal just needs to make it possible to build them into groups
