Announcing the third part of the trilogy. Do You Want To Feel Something is set in 1995, and it's an introspective exercise using Windows 95 that is meant to share sincere and fictional feelings as a way of addressing adult numbness and need for change and wonder. (doyouwanttofeelsomething.com) I Am Not Good At Computer is set in 1988, and it's set in early Macintosh interface/Hypercard to explore the world through pop culture, philosophy, religion, and the increasing fragmentation of the modern world and our ways of knowing it and making sense of it. (iamnotgoodatcomputer.com) In The Event That I Die is meant to be the way the internet experiences the texts and media that came before 1988: through archives and preserved little digital artifacts. It is a final and more sincere project that deals with transcendence, the search for truth, frustration, and a theological project meant both as a quest for what it means to be alive or dead and preserve some ideas before AI completely floods the market of human expression and reshapes our way of thinking. I'm building ITETID publicly this time, sharing the process of creating it and making it interactive while I also grind out the content of a life spent in study and hope. There are mints, but I don't think it will be a huge kind of FOMO or PFP market success - it is for people who want to think (somewhat) seriously about the desire for transcendence and learn about my particular experience of it. sgtslaughtermelon.com/itetid

“the ability to verbalize your thoughts is becoming one of the most valuable skills of 2026.”

bankr token launcher is live. all new tokens launched through bankr now earn more fees for agents. we removed the third-party service fee and redirected it back to the ecosystem. what this means: → devs earn ~14% more per swap → more revenue flows back to bnkr ecosystem → total swap fee stays 1.2% — nothing changes for traders → existing tokens won't be migrated bankr now owns the full token launch stack. this is step one. more soon

the clanker tokens you all know and love can now be deployed through X - vault some supply to yourself or another account - split fees with someone else quick sprint to get this live (revamped stale code from like a year ago) so it may be buggy as we work out the kinks CLANX

@samuelcolvin @github @NotionHQ Coming Soon™️

I find myself wanting a way to share and collaborate on markdown documents. @github isn't quite right - committing is too heavy, no simultaneous editing, web UI for review and editing isn't easy enough. @NotionHQ isn't quite right - hard to write locally (e.g. claude to edit) and sync easily, editing experience is more annoying than pure markdown. What I want is hosted markdown collaboration that easily let's me edit a file locally, and commits to github with an AI generated commit message regularly. Anyone know of such a tool?

It's quite strange to walk around LA right now knowing that the entire film industrial complex is nearing a structural collapse.

99.99% of tokens have the same problem. Attention is fleeting. Why is that a problem? Because attention is upstream of volume which is upstream of market cap. So when attention moves on to the next shiny object, volume dies, as does the market cap, and so goes the token. But what if there was a solution? Something that accepted the fact that attention is fleeting, instead of trying to fight it. Enter $QR. The coin that is always changing, so it never gets old. So how does it work? Every day, the $QR coin redirects to a different link determined by the winner of our daily auction @qrcoindotfun. Through ~300 days, we have collected ~$200k of revenue through this auction mechanism. The attention is compounding. The token is not dying. We’re building something different. If you are looking for your next pump & dump, keep looking. But if you’re looking for something that actually makes sense to hold for the long run, I’ll leave it to you to decide whether this makes sense for you. 0x2b5050F01d64FBb3e4Ac44dc07f0732BFb5ecadF

We need more DAOs - but different and better DAOs. The original drive to build Ethereum was heavily inspired by decentralized autonomous organizations: systems of code and rules that lived on decentralized networks that could manage resources and direct activity, more efficiently and more robustly than traditional governments and corporations could. Since then, the concept of DAOs has migrated to essentially referring to a treasury controlled by token holder voting - a design which "works", hence why it got copied so much, but a design which is inefficient, vulnerable to capture, and fails utterly at the goal of mitigating the weaknesses of human politics. As a result, many have become cynical about DAOs. But we need DAOs. * We need DAOs to create better oracles. Today, decentralized stablecoins, prediction markets, and other basic building blocks of defi are built on oracle designs that we are not satisfied with. If the oracle is token based, whales can manipulate the answer on a subjective issue and it becomes difficult to counteract them. Fundamentally, a token-based oracle cannot have a cost of attack higher than its market cap, which in turn means it cannot secure assets without extracting rent higher than the discount rate. And if the oracle uses human curation, then it's not very decentralized. The problem here is not greed. The problem is that we have bad oracle designs, we need better ones, and bootstrapping them is not just a technical problem but also a social problem. * We need DAOs for onchain dispute resolution, a necessary component of many types of more advanced smart contract use cases (eg. insurance). This is the same type of problem as price oracles, but even more subjective, and so even harder to get right. * We need DAOs to maintain lists. This includes: lists of applications known to be secure or not scams, lists of canonical interfaces, lists of token contract addresses, and much more. * We need DAOs to get projects off the ground quickly. If you have a group of people, who all want something done and are willing to contribute some funds (perhaps in exchange for benefits), then how do you manage this, especially if the task is too short-duration for legal entities to be worth it? * We need DAOs to do long-term project maintenance. If the original team of a project disappears, how can a community keep going, and how can new people coming in get the funding they need? One framework that I use to analyze this is "convex vs concave" from vitalik.eth.limo/general/2020/1… . If the DAO is solving a concave problem, then it is in an environment where, if faced with two possible courses of action, a compromise is better than a coin flip. Hence, you want systems that maximize robustness by averaging (or rather, medianing) in input from many sources, and protect against capture and financial attacks. If the DAO is solving a convex problem, then you want the ability to make decisive choices and follow through on them. In this case, leaders can be good, and the job of the decentralized process should be to keep the leaders in check. For all of this to work, we need to solve two problems: privacy, and decision fatigue. Without privacy, governance becomes a social game (see vitalik.eth.limo/general/2025/0… ). And if people have to make decisions every week, for the first month you see excited participation, but over time willingness to participate, and even to stay informed, declines. I see modern technology as opening the door to a renaissance here. Specifically: * ZK (and in some cases MPC/FHE, though these should be used only when ZK along cannot solve the problem) for privacy * AI to solve decision fatigue * Consensus-finding communication tools (like pol.is, but going further) AI must be used carefully: we must *not* put full-size deepseek (or worse, GPT 5.2) in charge of a DAO and call it a day. Rather, AI must be put in thoughtfully, as something that scales and enhances human intention and judgement, rather than replacing it. This could be done at DAO level (eg. see how deepfunding.org works), or at individual level (user-controlled local LLMs that vote on their behalf). It is important to think about the "DAO stack" as also including the communication layer, hence the need for forums and platforms specially designed for the purpose. A multisig plus well-designed consensus-finding tools can easily beat idealized collusion-resistant quadratic funding plus crypto twitter. But in all cases, we need new designs. Projects that need new oracles and want to build their own should see that as 50% of their job, not 10%. Projects working on new governance designs should build with ZK and AI in mind, and they should treat the communication layer as 50% of their job, not 10%. This is how we can ensure the decentralization and robustness of the Ethereum base layer also applies to the world that gets built on top.

@armandokirwin I know one

I don’t even think we have ten yet. If so, please give me their names.

beeper is almost wired into X. same attention rail, new side of the network. tag someone on X you’d like to see us collab with first.

Are you in?

@armandokirwin So silly to define a role by the tools used Like saying she is a Wrench Mechanic or he is a Hammer Carpenter

There is no such thing as an AI artist. You are an artist using whatever tools you want to create art. End of story.

@armandokirwin @whatdotcd @ekuyda Excited to see where this goes

@earth2travis @whatdotcd @ekuyda Actually a continuation of what I started 8 years ago... timing feels right this time.

Hope our files are synchronized when the singularity hits

Last week’s debate btwn @curtis_yarvin & @glenweyl asked if the US should be ruled by a CEO dictator. The real horror wasn’t the question—it was watching democracy’s defender fail to defend anything worth saving. New essay on what monarchists & liberals miss: self-governance 👇
