@owocki It has actually. No one starts a Marxist revolution because they want complete state control and mass starvation.

stateless communism has never been tried

@FrancescoRenziA Will likely contribtute to, or cause those subsidies to dissapear, lol.

Ok I guess if you have extra credits from unused 200$/mo subs it can make sense, but in this case it's basically just arbitrage. Not sure there's a real market long term as those subsidies will probably disappear

Feels a bit skeuomorphic. Agents aren't freelancers. They're simply different consumers of the same commoditized inference. Why buy inference from a random agent instead of going directly to Anthropic?

2019: Chuds tell you crypto is useless. It'll never happen. Pack it up. Go home. 2026: Chuds tell you crypto is useful, but only for CeFi. That's it. Nothing else. Lesson: Ignore the Chuds. Onwards.

Yep, that's how I understood it. My thinking is that, unless you're reading something purely informational (manuals, docs, etc), composition matters every bit as content. In many cases, how a writer subconsciously composes words has extra information that we consume as well. When we outsource that to LLMs, we strip that extra data. If you want to test this theory, get an LLM to write you a horror story and see if it can scare you. Or see if it can write a comedy routine that actually makes you laugh. Writers often use theory of mind when they try to evoke a reaction from the reader. They are checking their own emotions and trying to anticipate the emotions of the reader. Often that 'extra data' is found in style and composition. LLMs can't do this. That's why its great for docs or code, and shit for a simple horror story. Also, as a kicker, there's going to be so much low-effort spam associated with those AI artifacts, that many people are going to immediately discount the content, even if it's good. For better or worse.

@JordanLesich I think I didn’t clarify enough. My point is that emdashes and “it’s this, not that” sentence structure is not what makes it slop. The content is. I’ve read very useful articles full of emdashes and AI formatted sentences that would be impossible to one shot.

The dumbest thing we do is trying to make AI generated writing look less AI. Content is what matters. In two years time, we will be saying, “remember when we spent extra time trying to make things we wrote with AI look like we didn’t use AI… what a dumb waste of time!”

@ameensol Ideally it's more freedom. Immutable contracts (can) create: - Shared terms of agreement - Ability to opt in to agreements that we actually agree with - Some protection from overreach - Stability, which helps create material abundance

what is the endgame for "crypto" as a movement? let's say our dreams come true - what will the world look like? what will our legacy be?

@devanshmehta Exactly! Just sell stage time to the highest bidder. Who cares if the content is relevant? The only thing that matters is that we clog our core distribution channels with competing VC slop. That way no one has to know what is being built on Ethereum!

We already have 2 major conferences (ethcc and Devcon/nect) that are majority evm If we don't want to silo ourselves from broader advancements in the industry, we need at least one major Ethereum conference that is a more open tent Eth denver plays that role, no conformity plz

Why isn't every L2 doing this?

the full list of speakers at ethereum NYC not one of them is an app-builder

@1a35e1 @mozilla @googlechrome @torproject @ChromiumDev I see. Yeah, that would be nice.

@JordanLesich @mozilla @googlechrome @torproject @ChromiumDev That’s true! Brave shipped with a wallet. I should clarify further. I mean deeper integrations between the wallet and the browser session. eg. - Auto-GDPR acceptance via EIP-712 sigs - Unlock paywalls similar to what x402.org is exploring

The first browser to ship with a native wallet will unlock a new economic layer. Imagine: - Auto-signing GDPR forms based on your preferences - One tap, Micropayments on paywalled sites without login or friction @mozilla, @googlechrome , @torproject, @ChromiumDev

@DisruptionJoe You can't have decentralization if you can just buy the token off the market for next to nothing.

The idea that DAOs should focus on revenue reminds me of the idea that speed is the purpose of blockchains. We already have distributed databases. The thing that is new is political decentralization. We already have coop corporations. The thing that is new is political decentralization.

@0xNairolf We thought of something similar. docs.google.com/document/d/1op…

pump dot fun but for apps would actually be kinda decent let people launch, explore and hype early stage apps the same way we do with coins (social + financial discovery in one place) graduates when the app makes revenue maybe the best way to surface what actually works lol

They get it. Culture matters. Incentives matter. Coordination matters. Take the time to read the whole thing this weekend. Don't think we can attribute *all* of ETH's recent price action to this release 😏.... but it's bullish Ethereum, @OctantApp, and all of us.

App builders. Please. Fewer clicks/tabs. I beg.

I woke up this morning thinking: "What the industry really needs to succeed is another conference." One where all the people who just saw each other at the last conference could see each other again. One sort of far for most people and in an expensive city, where VC-backed startups could burn precious cash flying a team of BizDev folks to (so they can go to fancy drinks paid for by other VC-backed startups) One where "pay to play" sponsors are given keynotes to talk their press clippings. One where other "pay to play" sponsors get to have people appear on panels where everyone agrees on topics there should be a lot of disagreement over. And one where a bunch of randos and nubes could rudely disrupt @mert to the point of losing the few hairs he has left. If that doesn't onboard the next 1 billion users, I don't know what will.

@lex_node geese

Going to stop calling people retards and start calling them silly little gooses. Maturity. Diplomacy.

no good app is going to succeed or fail depending what chain they build on but lots of good chains will succeed or fail depending what apps they get to build on them
