is it possible to see the wallets already backing a candidate and then airdrop them? if so, you have a nice vampire attack vector.

I agree. And I know this could be a short term trade off for creators who might make less but this feels like a bigger bet on expanding TAM. If this kind of minting becomes more normalized by the rest of the internet, creators could make significantly more than they do now.

When it comes to organizing people at scale, I think the object level is always more powerful but there are periods where we drift from it because we sometimes need to go back to the drawing board and think about what ideas ought to be behind a movement. The 2010s were a good example of that. Lots of big ideas like "Occupy Wall Street" but not much of a plan once occupied. Compare that to "Occupy Mars", which is a tongue in cheek subversion, that is thrilling and tangible. I think we are hungry for new, positive sum visions of the world and the more specific, you can paint the picture, the more you can win hearts and minds.

What's up next for prediction markets? Do you think that this is going to be a power law thing where Polymarket wins most of the marketplace? Or do you think there is room for niche/more vertical driven places to predict the future?

How do I get ChatGPT to understand that I'm using Next 14 and not anything before? So many issues come from this and it drives me absolutely crazy.

Yes. And I think that will always exist for any prediction market. You have to factor in a meta game about who is setting the market and what their bias might be. For polymarket, I assume a rightward/memetic lean but it depends on the bet. Easy to overthink and get into 3d chess territory.

I see polymarket (and prediction markets generally) as something people already want to do (bet on a future outcome). Crypto just provides the infrastructure that allows people to transact at scale with peace of mind that they won't get rugged.

ChatGPT trains itself on wiki so it’s a snake eating its own tail kind of problem.

it's had a left leaning bias for a while. but more so, there's a small, very weird community that has a huge impact on it.

this is my experience as well. there's an uncanny valley when it comes to getting quality. it's either free and open or centralized and paid. the middle tends to fail.

Fork Wikipedia. Vampire attack it's talent. Certainly seems like an amusing experiment to run. Hard part still seems to be about how to sustain and maintain quality talent. And how to not poison the editorial with token incentives. There's a reason Wiki doesn't pay its contributors *anything*.

Has anyone in crypto world attempted to make a (better) alternative to Wikipedia? Given the editorial tilt of Wikipedia, this seems like such a big, meaningful project to take on. It's one that's also super difficult. Would require $ and a better plan on how to organize and sustain the editorial.

I’ve been trying to do this with my twitter feed as well. Algo is incredibly sensitive right now. And sometimes you get gold https://x.com/codybrown/status/1810792023412097296?s=46
