Are you in Tokyo ahead of #devcon5? Come hang out at Grow Open Source Day and listen to me complain about the problems which continue to limit the growth and proliferation of open source eventbrite.com/e/grow-open-so…
Incase you're curious, here are the slides I presented! I'm delighted that I was able to spark some difficult conversations (and disagreements) about what it means to be responsible for different issues relating to open source sustainability
docs.google.com/presentation/d…
The most interesting insight came from a discussion with @coderberry, that ultimately responsibility lies on both the maintainers of code (to manage user expectations) and users of code (to gift either time or value back to maintainers, in good faith, to sustain the projects)

The entire media industry is about to be upended by AI and I’m totally here for it
Right now, traditional media networks box in creators by demanding they make 100s of versions of the same content, sticking to just one niche

This happens to painters, video creators, and even people who write on this website
The algo wants us to do one thing well, instead of expressing the full range of our human identity and expression, turning us into robots

With powerful new tools, this premise becomes moot — AIs can easily generate 100s of versions of our content much faster than we can

Just finished exiting all of my Ape related NFTs

now that Yuga has revealed their true colors, I can't unsee it

con artists of the highest order
It took me a long time to learn this lesson in crypto, but it is 1000% never worth it to stand by in ignorance, while you watch people you're associated with use dark manipulation techniques on unwitting people
Hanlon's razor is a real bitch, because a majority of the time in life, people really are just incompetent, and aren't actually trying to be malicious

but in the 1% of cases where they are manipulating, they'll ALWAYS make it appear like incompetence to cover their tracks

Now the Satoshi LARP is trying to tell us that he launched a token on behalf of us without my permission because he wanted to help “the creators […] to capture and accrue value on the platform before they’ve even joined”

literally fuck off
“We’re building a blockchain for social media” [why do comms require consensus?] “to help take down incumbent social platforms”

as bad as Facebook is at coercing people into giving them their data/likeness, at least they ask

Diamondhands doesn’t— he just takes it
there are many more angry tweets that could go in this thread but I’ll save them for my Drafts; this website is full of enough vitriol as it is

🤢

@zhusu @alee Su, I’m sorry but I think you’re deeply deeply wrong. I think you’re too smart to be talking your high risk book to this degree, especially at this point in the market cycle. Sure, short term gains can be fun (there was a killing to be made on XRP in past cycles)… (cont’d)
@zhusu @alee …but your audience isn’t going to be able to move into safer ecosystems in time and will get absolutely rinsed on the way down

you’ve given me a ton of free alpha via your YouTube appearances, so consider this my attempt to return the favour
@zhusu @alee the argument that’s currently being sold by people with deep eth-killer-books is that developers will (eventually) be forced to build for these alternate chains too

“it’s a multi chain world man, any maximalism is cope”

if the sedona’s prove anything it’s that some people think that normcore Americana will be a meaningful part of future meme-vocabularies
inb4 NFT versions of waiting in line at the drive thru, XXL sized beverages, and other key symbols & experiences of this era
Americana between 2000-2012 was weird and dark

only then did things flip due to higher levels of American self awareness, and things became ironically funny again

might have figured out a way to do NFT collateralized loans in @_anishagnihotri’s DMs

TLDR the NFTs sit in an active auction whose highest bid is essentially used as collateral
@_anishagnihotri step 1. User deposits their NFT into the contract and initiates an auction for it

this auction is special though - the highest bid deposit may not be withdrawn, unless it is beaten or the loan corresponding to the NFT is fully paid
step 2. depositor receives a loan for up to 100% of the top bid value (minus any associated fees)

because the top bid is locked up, there's no need to over-collateralize (although the top bid will obviously be only a fraction of the NFT's true value)
