7/7 Maybe the Turing Test wasn’t a test for AI - it was a test for us. How long can we cling to our uniqueness in the face of accelerating change? At some point, we’ll need to stop moving the goalposts and start asking: what’s next for humanity? 🌀

@paulg You’re one step away from NFTs. If AI can recreate anything, scarcity only exists where provenance is provable.

This was after I mentioned the idea of buying rare old things as a hedge, since one thing AI won't be able to do is go back in time. I don't put too much weight on the specific year, but the shape of the idea is interesting.

@INTERIORPORN1 It’s not a hotel, is it @grok?

This hotel in Japan is absolutely sublime.

Quokka eating a leaf.. 😊 Sound on

@ScrappyTea @kimasendorf Well done 👏

Mountain Tour by @kimasendorf (2010) Kim's first image series using his pixel sorting script, which was later made open source in 2012. "There is no actual “glitch” in this glitch: it’s not borne of a mistake, but rather, a generative mechanism with great precision." - @thesarahshow kimasendorf.com/mountain-tour/…

@IDerech Love this one!!

japan is a dream

@mr_merge @kimasendorf Yeah couldn‘t resist! Def my favourite Kim collection pre PXL wizardry

@GoldenDickbutt @kimasendorf I remember seeing you buy one a while ago 🤝

monogrid 8d by @kimasendorf monogrid is a collection of 256 real-time animations created by Kim Asendorf. 2021/10. I've wanted one of these for the past year, so happy to finally add one to my collection. Evidently, there isn't many sellers. Just had to bite the bullet in the end and pay up. The low price of Tezos still made this is a good deal in $ terms, imho.

Goodmorning❤️

@bryanbrinkman @wallplugnft Haha, didn’t know that one - love it 🙏

In honor of SuperRare bringing back applications, I thought it would be fun to share the embarrassing video I submitted in Jan 2020. I had no idea this would completely change the course of my life and career. Thanks for accepting me.

@Blondie23LMD @Crazymoments01 @RaoulGMI For whatever reason I’m getting a lot of very educational content like this on my timeline recently… 🙈

@Crazymoments01 Honey Badger 🦡 don’t care @RaoulGMI @GoldenDickbutt Added to the list.🤣

They told me Honey Badgers were the most dangerous animals in the world... then I met him. 🥺❤️

📢 UPDATE: Recovery Progress for Gondi Exploit Since containing the exploit, our focus has shifted entirely to making affected users whole. Here is where things stand. 🤝 Items sold to third parties Several NFTs were purchased by innocent buyers who had no knowledge of the exploit. We reached out to each of them directly and asked for their help in returning the items to their rightful owners. The response from the collector community has been humbling. Collectors stepped up without hesitation. Thanks to them, we have already recovered and returned: • Aluminum Gazer • Servant of the Muse • Doodle • Lil Pudgy We are in active conversations on additional items and expect more to follow, including Taxmen. We are grateful to everyone who has cooperated. 🔍 Items still in the exploiter's wallet For NFTs remaining in the exploiter's wallet, we are pursuing two paths depending on the nature of the item: • 1/1-of-X collections: We have already bought comparable items from the same collections and transferred them to affected owners, and will continue to do so for any remaining cases. While not the exact same piece, we believe this is a fair and meaningful resolution and are coordinating directly with each owner. • 1/1s: We are working hard on recovering these items and are in active discussions with the relevant parties. We are committed to finding a good resolution for every affected collector. 💙 A note on the situation Every item recovered so far has been bought back using Gondi's own protocol fees. We made that decision immediately and without hesitation, because it was the right thing to do. It is also worth reiterating: NFTs in active loans were not affected by this exploit, and were never at risk at any point. 🔒 Security confirmation The Gondi protocol has been reviewed and confirmed safe by two independent parties: the team at Blockaid and an independent auditor. Sell & Repay feature remains disabled while we develop and deploy a fix. All other platform functionality is fully operational. The NFT space runs on trust. We take that seriously and will continue to post updates until every affected user has been fully resolved. Gondi is safe to use. Onwards.

@LaurentNft64534 @lphaCentauriKid @gondixyz @ape6743 @0xburga @Joker_facade Well done everyone @gondixyz @Joker_facade 👏

Massive gratitude to the @gondixyz team for reuniting me with my @lphaCentauriKid servant with a special thanks to @ape6743 and @0xburga for the immediate reaction and efforts to address the issue. In my bad luck, I was lucky that my servant got sold to @Joker_facade who very graciously accepted to sell it back at cost to the gondi team. I know every situation is different and I know some people are still waiting for a solution. Based on my experience, I have no doubt they will be made whole again. Courage 🫂 Lots of lessons learned for me, but I want to say a giant thank you to everyone who reached out, anon or friends. I didn't feel alone during this ordeal, thanks to your kindness and compassion. Fck scammers, merci from the bottom of my heart and ars longa 🙏🥂 Can't wait to reveal my servant ACK ❤️

Almost a gold PXL POD @GoldenDickbutt, can you agree?

@eli_schein @drmiminguyen I was quicker than @sqda yesterday 😁

We have 5+ years of market data to show that indiscriminately minting artwork to whoever can click buttons fastest is severely net negative for the long-term health of an artist’s body of work.
