Coming back here to see what’s changed (haven’t been on Warpcast in a year!) Love the idea of channels. It’s like #tags and subreddits had a baby.

I think it’s a good thing that all of the world’s interaction design & UI engineering talent gets diverted from building CRUD, e-commerce, or finance apps that are better handled by natural language commands. And more towards “direct manipulation” creative apps.

Nothing beats the classic GTA radio stations from the 3D era. Haven’t seen a better soundtrack in a game, film, or TV series since then Especially Vice City, San Andreas, and Vice City Stories.

Pretty sure anime piano music is the pinnacle of human musical achievement

Finally saw Everything Everywhere All At Once. Feels a bit weird for a science fiction action film to be mashed up with what is essentially a coming-of-age story centered around the feelings of a Chinese millennial teenager. But it was fun! And I can relate.

I’m a sucker for… slice of life stories (like Reply 1988) quality science fiction (like Asimov, Heinlein, Neal Stephenson) character studies (like Halt and Catch Fire, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) Really do wonder if good stories can exist at the intersection of these three

Watching Andor right now (episode 11!). Wonder why no open-world RPG game set on Coruscant has ever been attempted, since that’s the bar for video games right now.

Twitter fracturing into Farcaster (web3), Mastodon (serious), Poast (shitposting), Post (politics), and Truth Social (religion, conspiracy theories, white nationalism) is probably a good thing. These are divisive things incompatible with broadcast posting.

Perhaps there’s a silver lining to the Twitter debacle. Many orders of magnitude more people now deeply grok the fragility of centralized web services. https://twitter.com/gergelyorosz/status/1593346140245835784?s=46&t=cCCYdL6OpD-TA845adv_RQ

Nominative determinism: “the hypothesis that people tend to gravitate towards areas of work that fit their names” Like Thomas Crapper who made toilets Or Sam Bankman-Fried, who blew up a crypto exchange https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominative_determinism

Just came across “Legends of the Galactic Heroes” after trying to find the top-rated TV series on IMDb. Can’t believe I haven’t heard of it until now! It feels like an alternate-universe anime adaptation of Asimov’s Foundation. Excited to start watching! https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0096633/

Have a feeling the Twitter migration debacle will end up (at least among tech circles) splintering into tech optimists funneling here, and tech pessimists funneling into Mastodon. Twitter will boom after this, but only among “normie” users (similar to Instagram or Tumblr)

Farcaster’s UX can probably outpace Twitter just implementing the best feature ideas from Twitter users, especially now when everyone is chiming in https://twitter.com/nikitabier/status/1589005412195790848?s=46&t=3wK2ByPj8DVVW5R1CeW0Pw

Suggesting Farcaster as an alternative to Twitter is like suggesting Mac as an alternative to Windows https://twitter.com/benedictevans/status/1589030412881653760?s=46&t=3wK2ByPj8DVVW5R1CeW0Pw

Is there a rationalist guide to marketing? Does something like this even exist? It’s one of the skills in my toolbox that’s not so well-developed, but I have no idea where to get started to develop it. Most podcasts/YouTube/blogs on these are utter bullshit

Bullish on web3 apps/protocols that are about permissionless creation over meaningless financialization, like Farcaster or Arpeggi. Financialization is easily the most visible aspect but also the least interesting aspect of web3 tech.

Just minted my first song today on Arpeggi. On-chain CC0 stems for music is a really cool idea! Give my song a ♥️ if you vibe with it (they’re running a song context right now – appreciate your support!) https://www.arpeggi.io/song?token=17909
