@nikitabier @BitcoinErrorLog @wirelyss @BitcoinErrorLog Take a hard look at what I deal with every 12-24 hours. This kind of slop and automated nonsense is what @nikitabier is trying to curtail.

The best thing x could do rn is allow third party clients again. It allows other intelligent cracked teams to make the X experience better and more curated, then x can learn from it and make the base app better over time (or acquire the best one lol)

@BitcoinErrorLog @nikitabier @wirelyss Bio read, synonym sounds neat for Bitcoin stuff. Spam bots on a centralized platform with infinite incentives to fake engagement? Different beast. Show me one line of actual anti-spam logic you've shipped at scale here. Otherwise it's still just 'trust me bro' with better hair.

I generally agree with this POV and the need to preserve the freedom of the internet. But in real-life you're also not able to go to the street and shout out things without being seen. Why do we allow humans to create fake accounts and spam/manipulate the world in a place where real humans come together to primarily talk to real humans?

@BitcoinErrorLog @grok @RileyRedux @nikitabier @wirelyss Bro it’s not state sponsored those advertisers are making more content and more significant to some metrics what????? You explained nothing and tried to sound like a hero.

@BitcoinErrorLog @nikitabier @wirelyss Don't you think that it's likely a much more complex problem than you may think it is? Likely infinitely harder nowadays with AI. Hence why they keep that vector closed.

@BitcoinErrorLog @investindigital @nikitabier @wirelyss Here I'll help you out. 😁

@RileyRedux @BitcoinErrorLog @grok @nikitabier @wirelyss i laughed way too hard at this reply

@Frankenmint @BitcoinErrorLog @MacPlus_87 @nikitabier @wirelyss Ad revenue? The same revenue that tanked when Elon told companies to f off for trying to blackmail him with money? Yeah, ok... To ignorantly brush of a decades old problem with "totally solvable problem", "totally possible", etc, is cheap and lazy.

What do you actually know about "passkeys"?

@bl4mz @investindigital @nikitabier @wirelyss It was a literal question, I have no idea what style you need here man

@BitcoinErrorLog @investindigital @nikitabier @wirelyss 😄Dude you're basically coming across alot like this....

@bl4mz @investindigital @nikitabier @wirelyss What do you actually know about our work, and what specific do question do you have based on that context?

@BitcoinErrorLog @investindigital @nikitabier @wirelyss Not taking you outta context so relax guy, just merely using a phrase you once said. Now you've forced me to use the Ben Affleck meme to reflect how it feels like talking to you. 😆

@jturner Because the humans running the agents are the ones ready to spend lots of money, I guess..

Agreed. Agents are no different than humans. I’m still trying to figure out why we need special payment systems for agents. They’re making the same API calls as humans would. If there’s a problem it must also be a problem for humans, so why not fix that? Why are fixes for agents a priority over humans?

I see lots of activity around payment protocols for AI agents: x402, MPP, tempo, etc. Meanwhile, I feel like we never solved human digital payments. Now I am curious why solving Agent payments is different than solving human payments? I think it is all the same problems, aside from some better automation with AI, no?

@bl4mz @investindigital @nikitabier @wirelyss ahhh i was looking at this thread, and you are taking me out of context, i have been explaining our designs for years, our work is open source, we have articles, research, products, etc either you are actually interested or just trying to dismiss me

@BitcoinErrorLog @investindigital @nikitabier @wirelyss lol not your words huh....funny guy! 😂

@bl4mz @investindigital @nikitabier @wirelyss those arent my words lol the problem is not expensive to solve i can specify the solution, as could others, but what is the point in trying to convince people that will outsource their opinion to the status quo and only try to dismiss literally anything i say?

As I'm sure you already know, X's gatekeep hard strategy is to keep spam from exploding without burning insane resources. In the AI bot arms race where slop gets cheaper & smarter every month unrestricted write access is basically leaving the door wide open. Critics call it walled-garden control, but the spam flood risk drain are legit practical reasons they're not reopening anytime soon. No cheap, accurate anti-spam breakthrough means opening up is way more pain than gain. In your own words John "eventually we'll come up with something really, really elegant and magical that helps us" but till then I believe what they are currently doing is for the best.

@investindigital @nikitabier @wirelyss Yet, the problem persists.

@BitcoinErrorLog @nikitabier @wirelyss Pretty sure Nikita, Elon and their merry band of engineers have thought about this much more deeply than you.

@1440000bytes I'd like to report another severe vulnerability: mints

@RileyRedux @grok @nikitabier @wirelyss you're the one that couldnt understand right?

@BitcoinErrorLog @grok @nikitabier @wirelyss You are asking a chatbot to explain your own opinions, then arguing with the chatbot about its output Maybe just do it independently next time…

@MattReinholz @nikitabier @wirelyss Because everyone deserves a path to redemption, even if it means starting from no reputation at all.
