This conversation will explore the rapidly evolving intersection of AI and the creative industries covering rights, regulation, positive adoption and innovation. Speakers include: @ClareMaguire (@aifaventures) @blakebeyond (FashionTech VC) @leocrane (WIRED / Sotheby’s Institute)

In my professor era 👨🏻‍🏫📚 Honoured to lecture at the @WIRED Summer Lab hosted at @Sothebys Institute of Art x @voguemagazine College of Fashion 🙏 We unpacked: 🤖AI agents & Blockchain 🪩Cultural IP 💀Dead Internet Theory 👘 How the new digital stack is reshaping luxury fashion

@BowTiedMargay @VitalikButerin Surely could bench press you, I bet top digital dollar

@blakebeyond @VitalikButerin Finally met you match - pencil arms like yours

🤳 I’m not one for selfies, but we snapped one with @VitalikButerin at an incredible moment - I couldn’t help but reflect on just how fast Warsaw’s deep-tech scene is exploding, especially in #Web3 and #AI 🧵👇

🦾 If you’re building Web3 or AI in Poland, let’s connect. That’s where the future is getting coded.

🌐 Think globally. Build locally. That’s the Warsaw way - driven by educational excellence, innovation, and a community that believes in Poland first, Europe next, global always.

🤫Our secret sauce? A crazy-high proportion of engineers & top-notch free higher education. GDP per capita is up 300%+ in 3 decades - unmatched in Europe. Almost 20% of Poland’s GDP comes from Warsaw alone, driven by a booming ICT sector (~$53B in 2021).

🇵🇱Poland’s economy is riding a rocket. GDP per capita hit ~$45.7K in 2024 and is on track to reach $55.2K by 2030 - overtaking Japan, Israel, Spain and closing in on the UK ($57K).

"Don't lead with features - lead with benefits. Don't tell me it runs on blockchain or uses AI. Tell me WHY it matters and what value it creates for real people." @blakebeyond (@OVioHQ) shares the key to successful pitches: Start simple, solve real problems, and focus on the human impact behind the technology. His insight: The best tech adoption happens when users experience the magic without needing to understand the complexity underneath.

@0xfindjoy @naval never disappoints

@blakebeyond damn what a good film reference

🙏“If you think the #AI is sentient, you just failed the Turing Test from the other side.” -@naval Ravikant Recent reports of “ChatGPT psychosis” (users calling it Messiah or “channel to God”) aren’t divine—they’re models tuned for stickiness & product KPIs
