Community Builder. I'm wandering and wondering. Interested in decentralized, cool & creative stuff. Worked on a DAO for 5 years and looking for something new.

I once had the experience of crossing paths with Mircea Popescu (a very early and somewhat controversial Bitcoin adopter who had an extremely large level of influence and still rates as one of the most intelligent and well read people I have come across - may he RIP) and within his chat room that contained equally well experienced people I was told that one of my questions was akin to:
"going to the library and asking what book to read"

ChatGPT and AI models are fantastic and truly revolutionary but they will still be stuck with the problem of "that's like going to the library and asking what book to read" - remembering that I meditated for 16 minutes and surpassing my previous record of 10 minutes or that I took two Ritalin an hour ago would be important if my life was centered around those things.

TLDR: You can give ChatGPT an entire library of words, ideas and first-hand emotional experiences and challenges that you write about but it still act like it "asking what book in the library to read".

My experience crossing paths with Mircea Popescu was immortalized on his blog here: http://trilema.com/2015/a-sjsqd-walks-into-a-pub/

An absolutely fascinating character and despite whatever immense controversy his attitude, presence, ideas and personality may have shown and caused people to immensely dislike him, he spoke his own truth and was an embodiment of the "real internet" and not the very "strictly corporate" personalities that have since taken over cryptocurrency and the internet. Very sad that he passed away.

I met many people like Mircea (albeit generally less controversial) through my travels on the internet who also spoke their own truth - it is a great loss to the world that IRC and self-hosted blogs/websites have largely been replaced by Discord/X/Twitter and highly corporate, slickly branded shit which is devoid of actual soul.
