Hi Stani, I tried avoid getting into a public debate with you, but an irresponsible emoji here forces me to state the fact.
- My team worked with the original team ( not you) since a year and half ago. All original founders have left but we did not stop supporting you.
- We made all the intros and I personally hopped on investor calls to state our thesis and back up your app. I even sent the app to my normie friends who love magic
- We paid, literally paid, ads for you since we believe getting direct to consumers is important for Showdown
- Your complaint that I won't hop on a call with you is childish because I had allocated Ecosystem lead to work with you directly. A call with me won't get you further ahead, and I don't understand why you are so obsessed
- Oh I forgot to say that you had used our brand to send a bunch of random DMs to twitter anons and we chose to purposefully ignore
For sure, we were at fault, as the video series presented, on the mismanaged timeline and false expectation. I own that 100%
Yah, sending 🤡 back at you ser!

How did you feel about the feedback from founders on the timeline?

After spending the last two years building the MegaMafia, we’ve decided to sunset the program.
While it was a success in many ways, we believe that the program was built on assumptions that no longer hold.
Here are some reflections, and what’s coming up next.
> We had real conviction in Mafia founders, and have gone above and beyond in standing by their side to bring their products to market. Some examples include: restructuring the GTE leadership team during critical moments just one month after their initial pre-seed raise, offering to buy out Noise's investors when they tried to push out the CEO, and played a crucial role as they pivoted from their initial prediction market idea, and merging the Tenten and HitOne team after seeing the synergy between the two.
> Across both cohorts which in total included 20 teams, we lent our reputation and networks to founders so they could go on to raise over $80m in funding in pre-seeds, seeds, and series As. We kept the MegaETH’s raise to a minimum so investors can get more skin in the game with the Apps directly, rather than the protocol.
> For teams that had difficulty in raising when the market turned bearish, we extended resources, engineering bandwidth, and actual capital (e.g. six figures in audit for Avon) so they could make it to Mainnet. We did it solely to help founders see their vision through.
> We set the product vision for 5 teams and supported their initial builds before eventually facilitating their fundraises from leading tier-1 and tier-2 funds.
> We spent significant cash (in the millions) bootstrapping teams’ DeFi requirements, through market-making support, direct lending, and other liquidity related needs.
> We hosted 5 large-scale in-person events (New York, Brussels, Bangkok, Singapore, and Seoul) so MegaMafia projects could meet investors and community members from around the world.
In many ways, the MegaMafia was the best incubator of this cycle. But very little of that value has trickled to Mega. In fact, most of those applications are no longer being built with us. At the time, we intentionally took no equity, governance rights, nor economic value because we wanted people to be genuinely bought into the Mega vision and the power of our technology. While we will continue to support existing MegaMafia projects, there will no longer be MegaMafia 3.0.
What’s next?
Our ecosystem goal going forward is to support teams building OMEGA applications, apps that are only possible on MegaETH, using our wallet infrastructure and stablecoin.
More importantly, we're redirecting the energy we were lending to third-party builders into our own first-party applications: consumer-grade apps, built directly by us, for the people we're trying to serve. Where MegaMafia was indirect, betting on other teams to build value we'd eventually capture, first-party apps let us build direct relationships with end users ourselves, with all the upside and accountability that comes with owning the outcome.
We're aiming for faster feedback loops, with insane focus on accruing value directly to the protocol.

If a founder was never good at video games, that's a red flag.

HE STRAPPED A BATTERY TO A $599 MAC MINI AND TURNED A DESK COMPUTER INTO A 14-HOUR PORTABLE AI WORKSTATION
00:03 the battery slides onto the side of the mac mini and the whole setup stops behaving like a desk machine. now it can run from a backpack, power a screen, hold local files and keep working without asking for an outlet.
that changes the use case completely. instead of renting another cloud box, one silent computer can handle research dumps, meeting notes, scraped pages, voice transcripts and small automation jobs from almost anywhere.
with claude connected, it becomes a moving command center. 45-minute calls become summaries, 120 saved links become organized notes, and messy project folders get cleaned while the machine quietly keeps working in the background.
the interesting number is not the battery size. it is the avoided rent. one portable local box can replace $25 storage, $39 automation, $20 transcription and another $30 vps bill if the workflow is built correctly.
this is no longer just a desktop. it becomes a portable ai machine that keeps working long after you leave the desk.
bookmark this before portable ai becomes the new normal.

Why aren’t AI companies sponsoring World Cup? Why am I still seeing Hisense, Lays, Aramco ads, and not OpenAI, Anthropic, Nebius, Iren? Makes no sense.

我一直很喜欢李小龙说的
Be like water, 这个也是这次v2 改版的核心哲学
同时也深读了thinking in system这本书, 再次感谢 @ryolu_
本次改版的核心是保证“流”的流动. 这个听上去很飘渺, 但是任何系统其实底层都是流, 一个完整的流动. 我希望用户在使用这个产品的时候, 一不会因为附加功能从而破坏心流, 二作为写作工具, 所有的功能应该围绕写来做, 而不是相反. 以写为起点，也以写为终点。视写为核心周期，所有的操作应该始为写，终为写. 也就是以balance loop 为核心, 配合不同的reinforcing loop 去辅助用户怎么去写的更好
这次V2也适配了新的Guardian系统, 更有效的去提供修改建议. Guardian系统我也专门写了一个paper投稿了EMNLP
新时代的ui, 是否还是以三栏为主或是大面积的数据展示为主, 我的答案是“否”. 在AI能够快速迭代需求的情况下, 剥开行为和用户心理的核心为导向的交互才是重点. 反思v1的版本, 当时做了大量借鉴IDE和已有产品的思路, 但是在实际自己使用的时候还是大量摩擦. 所以我完全推翻了之前的交互体验. 提出了这个新UI
最后还是想致谢 @cursor_ai 产品体验真的很好, 学习了很多

workspace ai agent is just getting started!

We’re thrilled to lead Lassie’s Series A. Most small businesses are run by reluctant operators. Owners set out to serve their customers and communities but end up buried in back-office work. Dental practices are a perfect example. Dentists train to care for patients, but much of their time is consumed by insurance claims, payment reconciliation, staffing, and cash flow. Lassie is building AI that runs small businesses, starting with dental practices. Before writing a line of code, Cofounders Steijn Pelle and Frédéric Renken spent months working inside a dental office, processing payments by hand to deeply understand the workflow. Lassie is not a copilot that creates more work for the practice to review. It does the work. We’re excited to partner with @steijnpelle, @fredericrenken, and the @lassieai team as they build toward the small business that runs itself. By @arampell and @omooretweets

12 REASONS WHY IT'S THE COLDEST CRYPTO WINTER EVER
Back in February I wrote a list of 10 reasons why this the worst crypto winter ever.
Well everything I cited then still holds, but now I have 2 more ways it's gotten worse:

I vibe coded a new ios app in 3 days spent about 12 hours, from downloading xcode to submission to app store still pending review. i have no app development experience at all.
fully open source, built for my personal preference and needs.
It’s a prime time for experienced builders. LFG!!
