A wise man once said, "A picture is worth a thousand words, but MOTION can say what words never could." I've come to realize that if I want to see apps succeed, I must enter the arena. So, I'm joining @initia as the Growth Lead and unofficial Head of Motion. Here's why... I love apps, but most apps die the same way: a little liquidity, no genuine activity some initial hype, no retention. TVL and retweets won’t save you if no one uses the thing. The real unlock is activity. PMF comes from iteration. Real users trying real things, again and again. But most teams never get enough activity before attention runs dry. Initia has many cool big-brain elements, but in short, it’s an incentive layer and full-stack infrastructure framework for apps. For instance, with Initia VIP, builders get closer to PMF through iteration without burning through token incentives or nuking user attention, as VIP drives real activity. And with a customizable infra framework, apps get greater ownership of their end users from the beginning. Combined, it gives apps MOTION. We’ve seen past success stories: • Launch app • Incentivize activity • App does well • Build adjacent things users need • Done With Initia, it’s: • Launch w/ the adjacent things users need + incentives • App does well • Done That’s motion. Motion is the currency of the future. With Initia's tech and the team's aura, Initia will become the hub of app motion. – from cedo <3

@viperr Eid Mubarak brother

Eid Mubarak 🌙

how do you create an monotheistic oligarchy in the most technologically advanced country and still lose this badly?

One Account. Every Market on Earth.

It’s funny how staying up all night makes you realize how beautiful early mornings are.

There’s something about companies doing fake rallies / protests to show a new product that just feels so trashy. Makes me never want to use their product

@viperr don’t worry, I bookmarked this

I just open sourced Siftly, a self-hosted AI knowledge base for your X bookmarks. Most people save thousands of tweets and never use or find them again. Siftly fixes that with a full AI pipeline that runs locally on your machine. Here's what it does:

Being honest about Israel’s inhumanity is like buying NVidia pre ChatGPT or getting into bitcoin in 2016. It’s fairly derisked with still a ton of upside — the most talented politicians are getting in.

This will be bigger than metadao itself.

NETENYAHU IF YOU CAN HEAR ME

Just in: iUSD hit $1M+ in supply. Higher.

This nigga said White Americans can and WILL DIE for the Jews and there ain't a damn thing you can do about it. Imagine being a hardworking WHITE MAN in the USA, All you want is THE BEST for YOUR COUNTRY and yet Israel keeps signing away the lives of your fellow men? You dumb little goyim. You really thought your life meant anything when the priority is 'rebuilding' the TEMPLE in Jerusalem? They'll sacrifice as many of you as needed to get it done. ~ Dr. Axius.

creating the term pre emptive strike and then therefore doing anything you want is such a god tier move goyim completely unaware

We built out our own NFT marketplace. From scratch. In like 2 months. Why? Well, our infrastructure providers kept failing in one way or another, and eventually Sudoswap announced they were going to sunset their core marketplace. We considered trying to bridge out the Kamis to a third-party marketplace, but realized this would lead to a worse UX for customers, and also leave us dependent on yet-another third party. I'll tell you a secret: Most of the developers, and most of the infra, in crypto, are total dogshit. They don't care about anything except raising and then paying themselves overinflated salaries while they slowly go out of business. And we at @asph0d37 are getting really tired of relying on an industry that just doesn't want to win. Because we want to win. So instead of an awkward bridge and a new shitty third party to lean on, we just built it all out ourselves. Now @kamigotchiworld has a custom in-app marketplace built from the ground up just to trade Kamis. And it's significantly faster and more full-featured than any of the third party options that were available to us. Give it a try. Maybe even if you don't play the game. Just bridge some Eth over so you can try out our lovely new NFT marketplace. And then try the game. You'll have more fun this way than playing with the other apps out there, I promise. More big new features coming soon. And more UX upgrades. And a whole new NPC who'll be selling fresh Kamis to new users. And... two huge, gamechanging announcements I'm not quite ready to tell you about yet. Have a nice day.

@PalmerLuckey this tweet is literally just the guy who makes fucking missiles and drones admitting ai is more powerful than anything his company could build

This gets to the core of the issue more than any debate about specific terms. Do you believe in democracy? Should our military be regulated by our elected leaders, or corporate executives? Seemingly innocuous terms from the latter like "You cannot target innocent civilians" are actually moral minefields that lever differences of cultural tradition into massive control. Who is a civilian and not? What makes them innocent or not? What does it mean for them to be a "target" vs collateral damage? Existing policy and law has very clear answers for these questions, but unelected corporations managing profits and PR will often have a very different answer. Imagine if a missile company tried to enforce the above policy, that their product cannot be used to target innocent civilians, that they can shut off access if elected leaders decide to break those terms. Sounds, good, right? Not really - in addition to the value judgement problems I list above, you also have to account for questions like: -What level of information, classified and otherwise, does the corporation receive that would allow them to make these determinations? How much leverage would they have to demand more? -What if an elected President merely threatens a dictator with using our weapons in a certain way, ala Madman Theory/MAD? Is the threat seen as empty because the dictator knows the corporate executives will cut off the military? Is the threat enough to trigger the cutoff? How might either of those determinations vary if the current corporate executive happens to like the dictator or dislike the President? -At what level of confidence does the cutoff trigger, both in writing and in reality? The fact that this is a debate over AI does not change the underlying calculus. The same problems apply to definitions and use of ethically fraught but important capabilities like surveillance systems or autonomous weapons. It is easy to say "But they will have cutouts to operate with autonomous systems for defensive use!", but you immediately get into the same issues and more - what is autonomous? What is defensive? What about defending an asset during an offensive action, or parking a carrier group off the coast of a nation that considers us to be offensive? At the end of the day, you have to believe that the American experiment is still ongoing, that people have the right to elect and unelect the authorities making these decisions, that our imperfect constitutional republic is still good enough to run a country without outsourcing the real levers of power to billionaires and corpos and their shadow advisors. I still believe. And that is why "bro just agree the AI won't be involved in autonomous weapons or mass surveillance why can't you agree it is so simple please bro" is an untenable position that the United States cannot possibly accept.
