Hey Tezos community (if you got tagged, grok decided you were important). Juniper continues to make art and brainstorm on her Little Sushi empire everyday. Photo is a cool art piece she noticed while waiting in line at a taco truck :) Quick update on Little Sushi. Since I started researching and experimenting with Vibecoding about a month ago, a lot has happened in the world of AI... My timeline is bombarded literally DAILY with folks claiming they have the next big hack. It seems @claudeai is being leveraged heavily currently for automation and such. I think this is just the beginning and @grok and @Google and all the others will be competing for marketshare for some time. Open-source models are obviously an interesting part of it all too. Where does this all lead? Almost every AI post is promoting the reader to extract more wealth for themselves, while working less, using AI. Modern capitalism at its finest. Meanwhile, arguably the most valuable thing we have -- community -- gets whittled down along the way. I would like to see folks showing how they can use AI to provide more value to their community, and the greater world community. The creative community that has developed in the @tezos ecosystem is the 'The bee's knees' IMO... regardless of the blockchain and crypto element. Integrity, passion, professionalism, experimentation, collaboration, respect... That is what has kept me here, and why I love getting Juniper involved. It is the ONLY blockchain community i have explored that has fostered a culture that feels authentic, safe and supportive. SO, we have decided to make Little Sushi a community project. This IS an invitation to get involved. We have laid the foundation, and it is a great narrative IMO, that has the power show off both the awesome tech being developed on tezos, and the creative culture, in a fun way that is accessible to everyone, even outside the crypto bubble. Part of what makes a lot of the classic video games amazing is the wonky characters and legends and stories, that bring the game to life. (Think Mario Bros.) I am biased obviously, but the Little Sushi story that Juniper has come up with is super fun and wonky and authentic, and has all the potential in the world to go viral. And what a cool concept, that a wide range of people can easily support... Helping realize an 8-year old's vision into a fun game, utilizing the latest and greatest blockchain, crypto, and AI technologies. It would mean a lot if folks wanted to jump in and help — ideas, art tweaks, code, prompts, sounds, whatever you're good at. No pressure, just if it sounds fun. PLEASE tag or share with anyone who might want to get involved! If you're up for it, here's the Telegram to get involved: t.me/+VH_eYHw7coMzZ… Collection: rarible.com/littlesushi $LSUSHI: organicgrowth.wtf Thanks to everyone who's supported along the way — collectors, retweeters, everyone. We are just getting started. @Juniper_Paisley @etherlink @TezosCommons @objktcom @TeiaCommunity @fxhash_ @TezosFoundation @ArthurB @nomadic_tez @ryangtanaka @BakingBadTezos @itsjustion @ma11eta @0xYpsono 🧡

Sixteen years ago, one man stood alone on a grassy hill at a music festival in Washington State, USA, and started dancing by himself. People glanced over and looked away. Some laughed. His roommate leaned in and warned him people were filming him. He did not stop. Then one stranger got up and joined him. Then another. Then the hillside tipped. Within minutes, hundreds of people were sprinting from across the field to be part of something that, thirty seconds earlier, had been one man being laughed at in a field. Someone filming from higher up the hill said quietly: "See what one man can do. One man can change the world." The clip spread across the internet in 2009. Entrepreneur Derek Sivers played it at a TED conference to explain how movements actually begin. Not with the first person brave enough to start, he argued, but with the first person willing to join them. Collin Wynter, the man dancing alone, later said he had no idea he had done anything special. He was just tired of watching everyone sit still.

This tweet from @tezosfoundation has disappeared … They claimed they would follow up on the Metapals @Kindred_AI project that extracted from L1 and built nothing Still waiting …

@flexasaurusrex @EyesTeethFlesh This is the way!

@EyesTeethFlesh Thank you so much for saying! I think the act of just submitting to me was just as important if I get accepted or not tbh.

Submitted. Take it from someone that has been through every high and every EVERY low. Never let any one application, show, event, moment define your self worth. You are more than you know. Whatever happens here always the truth remains- Sparks Fly Upward. 🔥

Here is some of the updates regarding the blogging/text feature and copyright registration/marketplace features (now live!) in video form: youtu.be/iJDIbUijbgA @TeiaCommunity @tezos #Tezos

Launched in 2018. 20 protocol upgrades and counting. Some chains chase momentum. Tezos is designed for continuous evolution. Built to empower. Built for what’s next.

@retro_manni This is the way.

It's amazing how powerful you can feel when you let go of things that drain your energy and embrace the things that excite and inspire you. The trick is to recognise what those things are in the first place.

Tezos runs on people. 👥 Meet Zir0h: a longtime sysadmin, Muay Thai coach, and operator of Zir0h’s Bakery. From running RPC infrastructure during peak NFT demand to helping secure the network today, this is decentralization in practice. Read the full story ↓ spotlight.tezos.com/meet-the-baker…

It is with a heavy heart that the passing of Piero ( @pifragile ), the founder of EditArt, is shared today. Piero launched EditArt in 2022 and has been an active member of the generative art community. His dedication to the medium and passion for art will not be forgotten.

introspection

@ryangtanaka A little raccoon?

Huh...what animal is this? 🤔

There are preventable reasons why builders get disillusioned with Tezos. Why no one in control wants to fix them proactively is beyond me. You can be a hero, a legend and get good vibes from the community. Don’t you want to make history?

Tomorrow is international women's day. Objkt is highlighting women creators to celebrate! Make sure you check out their timeline this weekend for reposts highlighting women artists in the tezos ecosystem who continue to wow us. I was surprised to find out that I know a woman artist, @UnitedSaints. I was amazed that she was able to participate in this male dominated field. Truly stunning what she is capable of creating without a penis. Sarcasm aside, its easy for me, as an American, to forget that women do not have a voice in some places in the world, and tezos can provide them with a global outlet to speak through. Objkt makes it easy for opressed women artists to publish and distribute their work on a global scale. Celebrating women artists is celebrating the freedom of women to express themselves. As a father of a woman artist, I really appreciate that tezos is so supportive of them. I hope for a future where my daughter feels her voice is valued.

@flexasaurusrex @0xDeployer @igoryuzo interested

This week I'm going to start offering sessions to onboard users to OpenPaw/OpenClaw/BNKR 🐾 As the founder of OpenPaw (debatable whether I control the cat or the cat me) I'm deeply tech aligned. Comment/ DM if you want a 30 minute onboarding session.
