1000% agree.

You are still missing the point and trying to argue about implementation details. It's ok, I'm going back to the code editor now.
I wasn't being sarcastic. I actually LOVE thunderstorms. Always have.
The summer has been a bit non-standard - for sure. Though regular thunderstorms in the mountains are very normal. It's supposed to be 33ΒΊ a bit later today π₯΅ Honestly, I prefer the rain.
Yeah, I tend to agree on most of those points. The Iain M Banks culture books come to mind here though. Most of the society is post-money / post-work because AI has reached the level of being basically sentient. The concept of "a job" doesn't exist. Again, I'm not having a "how can we make this work now" discussion, which everyone keeps wanting to bring this back to. I'm simply thinking aloud about what it would mean to have a world where humans didn't "work" but rather did things they were good at and enjoyed and created value for the world. UBI, in an odd twist, is one of the first times this discussion has reached mainstream in any meaningful way. Yes, right now, it's unimplementable BUT the question of how we can get to a world where human flourishing is more important than "work" or "being rich" or "being famous" is, to me at least, the only real question that matters.

GM Nostr π©οΈ Enjoying the morning thunder today.
Exactly. This is more of a thought experiment to me rather than a discussion on the implementation details. Say they could pay for it... would it be net positive or negative?
I agree with that 100%. If it's only fundable via theft, I'm not interested at all.
Yes, it now supports the same ciphersuites. The MLS spec doesn't specifically mention the secp256k1 curve or schnorr signatures but does leave open the idea of "private" ciphersuites. My changes added a private identifier for schnorr signatures over secp256k1 and then I added support to the main library via their default crypto library RustCrypto and I also created a new library to use the secp256k1 library instead of RustCrypto (secp256k1 is the library that all Bitcoin and most nostr projects already use).
Yeah - look, I didn't say that it was an easy, one and done solution. It would be a major shift in how society thinks about what the meaning of "work" actually is. What I said is that I am bullish on humans being productive and wanting to do meaningful things with their time. Like everything, the devil is in the details, you can't just apply some new law and expect things to work. There would need to be cultural change and there would be lots and lots of 2nd and 3rd order consequences that would be unpredictable, especially with something as big as UBI (if you even could find a way to make it function monetarily). All I'm saying is, I'm bullish on human creativity and I don't think about society leaves much room for it anymore.
I'm actually pretty bullish on humans being more useful under UBI schemes. My question has always been, where's the money going to come from. It's telling that the article doesn't even attempt to confront that question. Everyone has gotten so comfortable with the idea that the government can just do whatever it wants (without thinking about the consequences) that they don't even stop to wonder about it any more.

Can wait to see it!
Like nostr:npub1rw7hlhmgat6ur9zxcw40vweem49guv6530yk767j8xjpynv0y20q6qsl3w said, it's an open source implementation of the MLS protocol.
