Congratulations @samflan & @Abeers123 on this 4-year anniversary! 🎉 I appreciate your always insightful work on my fave Friday read: This Week in Web3 for Good. 👉One example from this week's issue is the UN Women webinar: Making Digital Public Infra Work for Women & Girls

happy 4th birthday to Web3ForGood 🥳 In March 2022, @Abeers123 & I started this newsletter because we believed that emerging tech could make the world a better place. That belief hasn't changed, but almost everything surrounding it has.

A lot has changed in crypto over the last 4 yrs, but one thing hasn't... Every Friday morning, I grab a coffee, fire up my computer, and read my favorite newsletter: Web3ForGood ☕️📰 @samflan & @Abeers123 of @w3b3forgood have been a huge inspiration to me (@DWSimon), to Crypto Altruists, and to the broader crypto impact community 💚 They've been incredible partners and have had a profound impact on our journey! We wouldn't be where we are today without their partnership, support, and inspiration! 🤝 So cheers, and happy 4th birthday to Web3ForGood! 🥂🎂

I don't think it's inherently wrong to use an AI, but I am observing a strange dichotomy where we expect people to be fully human and fully machine, when maybe we would all be better off if we just fully embraced each entity's individual super powers 404media.co/ars-technica-p…

I obv don't know the details, but would this be a story if the author, instead of rushing to meet a deadline, felt comfortable taking a break to rest and take care of himself? When ppl feel pressured to operate like machines, it makes sense to use a machine to get tasks done.

I feel like what is being missed here is the fact that this happened because the author, in his own words, was sick & rushing. Maybe if we want to live in a world with humans creating human work, we should treat people like humans 🧵 404media.co/ars-technica-p…

💥 Eucatastrophe, Technofuturism, and the Case for Moral Hope: hypersocialxyz.substack.com/p/eucatastroph… "At every point in history and literature, where catastrophe appeared total, the outcome depended on whether enough people continued to act as though their choices mattered."

rewatched LOTR, had many thoughts, became re-obsessed with fantasy lit, & wrote an essay like I was in college again here are the results of my personal rabbit-hole inquiry: what I learned, how these literature-tech-humanity-you-me dots connect, and what we must do next 👇
