The really weird part about VC is that the feedback cycles are so long that people can build up reputation as being a popular or even good VC without actually having made any investments that return capital for the fund

OpenSea has received a Wells notice from the SEC threatening to sue us because they believe NFTs on our platform are securities.

We're shocked the SEC would make such a sweeping move against creators and artists. But we're ready to stand up and fight.

This is a move into uncharted territory. By targeting NFTs, the SEC would stifle innovation on an even broader scale: hundreds of thousands of online artists and creatives are at risk, and many do not have the resources to defend themselves.

In addition to standing our own ground, we're pledging $5M to help cover legal fees for NFT creators and devs that receive a Wells notice. Every creator, big or small, should be able to innovate without fear.

I hope the SEC will come to its senses sooner rather than later, and that they'll listen with an open mind.

Until then, we'll stand up and fight for our industry.

Onwards 🌊⛵️

Auto-scaling web servers is common. But I don't think I've seen anyone auto-scale databases before? (someone must have done it, but we couldn't find much)

Anyway - I gave our Platform team the challenge and they built it! Awesome work.

Bounties

We're deprecating some features with low usage on Bountycaster (bookmarks on our website + recommended bounties + cast action checking # of bounty completions)

Goal is to simplify our system so less eng complexity + maintenance which allows us to ship faster. There's a lot of stated vs revealed preferences but want to reduce bloat from it over time

To me, the most underrated counterargument to the Pascal's Wager is that it ignores that your actions can have consequences on either side of zero. Once you take that into account, many things move from "seeming no-brainer" to "totally undecidable omg what the heck do I do"

To me, this counts as GPT4 passing the Turing test.

Still an important update that it took all the way until GPT4 to get there!
