    Elon Musk says coding dies by December of this year. He's right about the direction. He's wrong about the conclusion. The future belongs to people who can think. https://soapbox.pub/blog/coding-doesnt-die/

    Just published a new episode: "Nerds At The Pub" In this episode of Soapbox Sessions, Derek Ross and Heather Larson discuss the evolving landscape of decentralized social media and AI. They explore simplifying jargon to make technology more accessible, share upcoming events in the decentralized space, and delve into the addictive nature of AI and productivity tools. https://sessions.soapbox.pub/naddr1qvzqqqr4vcpzqvvyzvr2veenww0r58jm64ygd4a2hcuchl624u0ra8e6xp0rafvpqyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskueqpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduqp7etsd9ek7er995cnwdes8qmr2wfnxvurqv3dxfax5mesw4ukjvcva0pqh #podcast #nostr

    🆕 @Gentle Fox today! @Bright Hawk and I are talking about how addicting AI is. “JUST ONE MORE PROMPT!” Info is easy. Building apps is fast. We can vibe code our way to greater productivity… so much is in reach more quickly… And what’s the damage? Is there any? Or are we getting “addicted” to the right thing? 🤔 We consider the human angle for once (and sorta set aside our bot obsession for a moment. Sorta…) Listen on @Wise Bear! https://fountain.fm/episode/OXH8XMBsGB19VmEEL7j6

    businesses are very concerned by privacy in the AI era. during my presentation today to local SMBs, i mentioned @Kind Dolphin as a private alternative to the spying eyes of big tech.
