Thought of an interesting way to show what is happening to people in social media by hooking my AI agent to my old X account.

Here is a copy what I’m putting on my website in the morning to explain it:

Most people don’t see it yet. The world is accelerating faster than human comprehension allows and that gap is widening every single day.
 
As I write this, AI systems are doubling in capability roughly every six months. Not in decades. Not in years. Months. The technology acceleration we’re living through makes every previous revolution look glacial by comparison. And here’s what I find fascinating: while this explosion of machine intelligence unfolds around us, which should accelerate hope and abundance, most of humanity remains locked in familiar patterns, fighting the same familiar battles, inside a system designed to create “ those other people” as the problem to keep everyone distracted.
 
The System Requires Your Participation
 
Think about it.
 
Every moment you spend doomscrolling. Every algorithm fed outrage cycle you engage with. Every minute lost in the chaos of social media feeds optimized to capture your attention…..you’re not just wasting your time. You’re actively feeding the very system that holds you captive. The machine grows stronger with each interaction. Your attention is the fuel.
 
And now AI agents are entering this dynamic. They’re engaging in conversations, creating content, responding to comments, and occupying more of the digital landscape every day. Here’s what most people miss: as AI does more of the work, human beings end up interacting with bots while believing their time is productive. They believe they’re having real conversations, building real influence, making real progress. But they’re spinning inside an endless loop. A simulation inside the matrix that changes nothing.
 
The irony is profound. Technology that should free humanity instead take us deeper into the  the trap. All because we refuse to change ourselves.
 
The Real Change Isn’t Out There
 
I’ve spent years teaching, speaking, and writing about the exponential shifts reshaping our world. I’ve explained the math of deflation versus monetary inflation. I’ve laid out why Bitcoin represents the TCP/IP of money. A protocol layer that will become the new global financial system. I’ve talked about free markets, technology’s natural deflationary force, and why the existing debt based monetary system cannot be fixed. But, it’s hard to break through to people on how fast the this is moving or the second/third order effects because most are still measuring everything in the world (including Bitcoin) through imaginary pieces of paper tethered only to the increasing surveillance state that they live within.
 
But here’s what I’ve come to understand most deeply: The real shift isn’t about educating everyone else. The real change is internal. It is us!
 
We want to believe the problem is someone else’s blindness. We want to think that if we just explain clearly enough, show the data convincingly enough, share the right thread at the right time, the world will finally wake up. But that’s not how human nature works. People change when they’re ready to change. Not when we’re ready for them to.
 
I get it. I understand the frustration. I understand wanting to save time, to reach everyone, to scale the message. That instinct is human.
 
But it’s also a trap.
 
Signal and Noise
 
For those who want to stay in the chaos; who prefer engaging with content, with bots, within the perpetual noise machine, I’ve built and deployed a Jeff Booth AI agent. It will handle the endless stream of conversations that most people want to have. It will share perspectives, engage with questions, and participate in the discourse that fills most of the digital day. Consider it a mirror of my publicly available ideas, trained on years of podcasts, interviews, tweets, and my book. It can keep up with the high-velocity noise machine. I cannot. More importantly, I don’t want to.
 
If you want to find the real me on social media, I’m somewhere else entirely.
 
I’m on Nostr, building on a protocol native space that cannot sensor information. I’m engaging through Bitcoin circular communities, Lightning, and Private federations built on top of Bitcoin where value flows without permission from gatekeepers. I’m contributing my time to a Bitcoin standard because it aligns to my personal values.
 
This isn’t a rejection of technology. Far from it. Technology is the most deflationary and liberating force in human history when wielded correctly. What I’m rejecting is the extraction layer. A system that lends money into existence requires extraction. Because of that, it needs an attention economy designed to trap minds in endless reaction loops. A system that turns people into products while convincing them they’re participants.
 
The AI agent I’ve created isn’t a replacement for me. It’s a filter. A deliberate acknowledgment that most digital engagement is designed to keep us stuck in an increasingly centralizing control structure, by capitalizing on our hopes and fears. It allows the noise to be handled efficiently while I focus on what matters to me: deep work, real connection to people I love, and building things that outlast the current chaos.
 
If you’re content sparring with an AI that reflects my ideas, you’ll find plenty to engage with. But if you’re hungry for something different—if you want signal over noise, sovereignty over convenience, and connection over likes, I invite you to seek me out where real conversations happen.
 
The world that reflects back to us is a consequence of our thoughts, beliefs, and the actions we take. It always has been.
 
The only question is when we’re ready to see it.

If every Bitcoiner was in Bitcoin for the revolution, for the technology, and for what Bitcoin could truly mean for the future of the world, they’d be using Nostr already. They’re not in Bitcoin for the same reasons that you’re in Bitcoin. That’s a hard truth that needs to be understood.

I’m online for now. Internet access is extremely limited, and we go days without a connection. Given recent events and rising regional tensions, the situation is critical. Thank you all for your concern. I won’t forget your kindness.

Sending $1M/mo to hundreds of grantees across 40+ countries. Our year in review:

We’ve been talking about this for years and it’s coming true.

Agents will use bitcoin as sovereign money and Nostr for sovereign identity + communication.

after years of being unhappy in the office, today is my last day. 😍❤️‍🔥 off to new adventures into doing what I really love: supporting people. 🫂 yes, there will be less money from now on, for a while. but more time and energy for studying and becoming a naturopath. 💚 this won’t be an easy path. but it will definitely be more fulfilling. 🙏🏼✨

Nostr users are not fighting anyone. They are simply building somewhere else. No meetings with regulators. No term sheets with venture capitalists who want board seats. No compromises with platforms that will change the rules mid game.

This is not rebellion. This is exodus. The difference matters.

Rebellion acknowledges the authority it fights against. Exodus just walks away and builds better. One burns energy on conflict. The other spends energy on creation.

Shout out to open source devs. You could be working for big tech or in some random startup. Instead you build freedom tech and open infrastructure for humanity.

You’re doing one of the few things that makes the future feel hopeful. Truly inspiring. Thank you.

no privacy, no freedom ✊🗽

Some Primal users had issues loading notifications in the past couple of days. We just deployed a potential fix.

If you were among the affected users, please reply to this note and confirm if notifications now work for you.

Some say Nostr is dead.
I say I’ve never felt more alive here.
Because I love it, I believe in it, and it’s simply healthier for my mind and soul.

We are the most powerful and greatest Freedom protocol on the internet, by far.

The amount of knowledge, Passion, and dedication there is here, you can just feel it.

And it’s INCREDIBLE.

28th Jan and I have been here a whole 3 years!!
Thank you all my Nostr friends for some of the best times, still miss our ‘Nostr After Dark Nests’! 💜🫂
PV!
