Went to the Shut up and Write meetup. Completed this essay on something I've been pondering for the last months: how giving into instant gratification traps us. https://paragraph.com/@cryptonao/now

Pinterest might tell you the whole home should be greige but I'm here to tell you, more colors are more joy. Wouldn't hurt crypto either to find more beauty.

I remember Umamusume ads everywhere. Well good news for horse girl addicts in the west. Gacha is one helluva drug. https://youtu.be/PNtMlqQZHao?si=PAAV3qE3wwukDZKk

Couldn't find a hot pot. Cba to take a selfie. Went to a Chinese noodle place for this. Made me think, I don't actually know what I come to fc for exactly anymore . It's a bit like one of those shops that has 100 items on the menu, sushi, doner and schnitzel these days. It's not the place to get crypto edge, nor is it the aesthetic social, nor the place to learn about science. All those things exist on here but maybe throwing them all into one feed, with an obscure algo isn't the way. That means it has a bit of everything but of nothing enough to actually be coherent for someone. It might be as simple as giving people more power over customizing their own feed. I for one wouldn't mind seeing all the posts by people I follow + what's hot in certain channels.

At least with religion we had some moral arguments to not be a d*ck to your neighbors. Sure, it was used for much bad - I am just pointing out that for most these people, the only real argument is numbers. Mostly the number of dollars that accumulate in their pocket if they can keep you in the state of precariat without you questioning the system. I was talking about this with my mum, and how we all became so dependent on the convenience offered by these billionaires' platforms, we can't see through the large extraction, nor that... they are the few and we are the many. You'd think that counts for something, but these days not so much. I can't even convince people to quit using Temu, or Amazon. Instead, they'll tell me about how convenient or cheap it is... The frictionless sure has erased the story from these products, but much of it isn't gone, it's just been outsourced to where you don't see it.

Wake up babe, Hikaru Utada did a Podcast with Yuval Noah Harari. I never thought I'd see that lineup... in the Freud museum, also out of all places. https://youtu.be/xw-9mwZxl-0?si=9I7VxAz5Gt5Cew2i

Happy to report this week started with a win. 🥰 I won the Lens x Fountain Creative Summer writing contest with my essay pondering what it means if stuff is stored forever. ＼(*T▽T*)／ワーイ　 Here's the original submission if you want to check it out :)) It's nice to see places encourage creative writing. Shoutout to @benoit-tokyo and other judges, and to @ciefa.eth who is the reason I knew it was happening in the first place. https://fountain.ink/p/naomiii/nothing-lasts-forever-what-if-it-did

If you need more reasons to not outsource your entire creative writing capacity to AI here's a few. If algos made our aesthetics and feeds more of the same, Ai is doing the same to writing, robbing it of the uniqueness of the human behind. While I'd love to buy into that this will just entice people to read from real humans, if they don't even know what a real human sounds anymore how is that gonna work? https://youtu.be/y7pgdDBu8z4?si=4BO-L77H1A3ur7hN

I've decided it's time to pick up Barrios' La Catedral again. I love this piece so much. 2 movements down, the last one is work in progress. Too much barree for my hands to handle so early in the morning.

Few people on FC know this, but I'm one of the co-writers of what started as post-cypherpunk and then became the Sapphirepunk manifesto. We all came together as people who felt cypherpunk had reached a bit of a dead end, and become toxic so we wanted to think it forward. This is the result: https://www.sapphirepunk.com/ It's a work in progress, as we try to come up with constructive suggestions to move forward and not just reject all that has been. If any of this resonates with you, don't be shy and hit me up!

Got quite triggered today when in my team someone took a pic of a perfectly beautiful German news anchor (for a meme) and put it through Ai completely turning her into just one of those faces that all look the same. I find it really depressing how much of the "beauty standard" framed as empowerment is now trickling into real life with even young girls now starting anti-aging routines, and wanting plastic surgery. I get it algos like more of the same, but it warps our realities. How can we expect people to develop a sense of beauty if we condition them to perceive just one thing as that. We got a whole new kind of dysmorphia from our filtered faces, much innovation. https://youtu.be/baoRaEUmkpU?si=V75Pf2mK78Sho6Au

Wall decor doesn't have to be expensive. Adding a bit of me to my guest room. Made possible by my inability to walk past free (and not free) postcards.

I got myself a fancy tea glass with a sieve. Quality of life improved. 🍵 A friend gifted me lots of loose tea and I really need to quit tea bags. 2025 might be the year.

Did you know that the Victoria & Alberts museum does ASMR videos on YouTube? I also just found out yesterday. These people are out there honoring the craft. And it's soothing, and fascinating to watch. https://youtu.be/WjTWutNBIb4?si=MQApCwF-l1GrrBgy

I watched a fluffy pigeon hop down the stairs today and this will live rent free in my head forever. Sooo adorable. Image of a pigeon to help your imagination.
