Mock war drills in India today after 1971 😶‍🌫️ (it eventually resulted in a war b/w the neighbouring states). On the edge honestly..

Identifying your core motivation towards building a company can help yield clarity. I know there could be many but there's this one thing that drives you more than others. For e.g.: -Solving a hard problem (i identified this as my core drive) - Impact that you care about - Financial upside What's yours?

guess we took the right bet by onboarding @rajul into our ecosystem - our video production capabilities have gotten 10x since then. This is a concept video of a product being built with our network - a truly personal AI assistant. cliched idea but with many unique insights about the market & clever engineering hacks

As founders do you try to actively seek mentors & engage w them regularly? Not talking about being plugged into relevant startup literature (YC, All In Podcast etc.) I realised it's something I don't do so much but might have great value long term - network + avoid making mistakes actually

Funny how reading about AI "sleep time compute" has been one of the largest drivers for me to focus on my own sleep habits 😆 i guess i am truly becoming AI native tldr - AI systems that do memory processing ( on past user chats) when idle (not chatting w users) can perform better in real world tasks Original link: https://www.letta.com/blog/sleep-time-compute

this is so on point. another example of how AI agents are just extension of humans - training implicitly on ways to please us rather than actually be useful at times. And that here also potentially different type of agents (humans) would exist. Would need so many different type of evals for this to actually play out..

I know I am purple app pilled when I am experiencing FOMO for FarCon NYC and not Token 2049 Dubai. Is this a cult? Or just reality? 🫡

Having a supportive partner is one of the biggest advantage a founder can have. Felt it so much over the weekend touching grass together 💙

80% of our recent growth summarised in one line: Users posting on brand user generated content & referring their friends. Works better than just direct referral links when looking at long term retention.

So damn true! I still remember one of my first memories here - Dan just doing an AMA with the community & then later on asking randomly for feedback on new launches.. This core builder energy got me hooked

A first: hit 1000 followers on a client in the farcaster ecosystem /super (they don't have strict bot removal mechanics in place i guess) Thanks @woj.eth for building this out - i still keep coming back to it at times to discover high signal new users.

Is there a way to auto post what i post on farcaster here on X? Seeing so many folks talk about tips & reward pay out wins. have this feeling that if you could further reduce the friction to post "such wins" on X (in a single click for e.g.), every Tuesday we would see influx of new users on to the platform

Reminds me of a quote my friend once mentioned "The more you think about an idea, the more you find reasons NOT to execute it." Important to balance analysis w real world messy execution

One thing i learned the hard way - don't react immediately to the explosive negative reactions of your community (especially if you are in crypto). They say a lot, will flood your discord channels. But more often than not, its only the speculator minority lashing against your decision that did NOT make them rich.

Should someone build a farcaster native AI agent that can revert back to new or returning users wrt updates about the ecosystem? Imo easy to do this with corpus of text, video content already available - RAG + LLM + cast apis under the hood. or will that be considered spam? cc @linda @dwr.eth

basically pareto: 20% of content will have 80% of attention or sth. i think the problem lies in the nature of any coin being launched "fairly" 1. extremely difficult to achieve that as often the creator/ a few seasoned players have undue advantage of tools / knowledge etc. 2. what's fair to an insider will always be unfair to an outsider. So may be we never reach truly fair launches - just depends on which side is more vocal & hence the perception of fair vs unfair.
