Cameron Builds

feelin spicy today so probs a good time for an AMA 👈👈🤠

Ask away - I’m an open book 🫡

weird internet kid. word rotator. yapping on /okbanger. playing with @wannanaplabs. curating in /cameron | dev + vet + HBS. 
seemore.tv/cameron 🫡

We built seemore.tv to automatically build creator pages using a set of scrapers/APIs/creative ways to get content from various walled gardens

Everybody treats their content data model in a diff way and most are full of broken/incomplete fields

Unifying everything in a single data model is extremely painful and messy

greatest technical debts among your ongoing and prospective projects?

So many reasons

1. I'm not the ideal user for crypto infra, so hard to be the ideal founder
2. imo max alpha rn is in useful apps that leverage onchain features to solve existing probs better
3. Infra I care about (payments) needs tons of $$$ and tbh rn it's more likely I build a co w $100M in FCF than raising $100M

Why are you building creator tools instead of crypto infra?

Professionally - now

I want us to transition to a post-work economy in our lifetime 

with an emphasis on explicitly facilitating a solarpunk cultural renaissance

while establishing a viable path towards off-world civilizational expansion

How would you like us to leave things for the next generations?

living in my era of unknowns, "world builder"

Most lonely moment is a tie b/w

2017 - Month 9 of deployment after my platoon command as officer in charge of Ops Cmd from 0100-0900. Just me and PFC Shelly on radio duty groundhog day talking to nobody for weeks 

2018 - 6 weeks into HBS when it hit me how systemically biased the global privilege economy actually is

what's the loneliest you've felt and how long ago?

🕯️They/them. Scaled cos from 0-$300k in arr, 7-35 employees, 0-100k users. Now I make candles that give people love, joy, and delight at humankind.place

but fr i just actively try to do physically and mentally hard things regularly (scaled by my current softboy level)

sometimes angry music helps me reset my hedonistic pain treadmill

sometimes Kpop helps me trance hard enough to forget its debug hour 3

also i try to live in a state of fascination instead of fortitude

War movies used to fire me up, but now I watch them to sorta bask in the history of a moment/event/culture

I respect that it’s gritty, it’s moderately accurate (esp in regards to how angry mobs with guns feel), and I’ve had the privilege of meeting some guys part of the actual op

You’re on a sinking cruise ship.
You have a choice to save a baby vs a middle aged person. You can only choose one. Who do you save?

My timeline got forked to here in mid 2022 so...

I def would've flailed around in crypto payments without meeting any builders so likely would've been burnt out by early 2023

Probably would've taken 4 months off, applied for tech jobs (maybe anduril), and be building bomb drones or space stuff in a medium/big org

What would you be doing right now if Farcaster never existed?

Seemore.tv

father, meditator and programmer. working on @anky. jpfraneto.substack.com

It was an experiment that taught me I was trying to do too much with the channel

which is why /seemore now exists 😅😂🫡

why is the seemore channel called cameron?

I've always been outsider-y (agnostic, emo/hardcore kid in the conservative religious South) and that's carried through to all my professional endeavors (military, startups, weird nerd purple app, etc)

Where are you from and how did that lead you to answering this question today?

I respect (some) memecoins

I genuinely believe we need a way to explicitly price raw attention on the internet and I think memecoins are basically a prototype for that 

obv low effort forks are boring, but there are some incredibly compelling and/or funny efforts out there (even w all the spam).
