BREAKING: CaaStle, a fashion startup who raised over $534 million from VCs, just declared itself broke in "one of the biggest startup frauds ever", per Axios.

Investors are now wiped out after "founder financial misconduct".

Are founder fraud revelations any kind of leading indicator for negative things like recession, etc?

How on earth are any of these lines not at zero

A nice write up on potential failure cases for various open social protocols including Farcaster from @shazow.eth 

Turns out Farcaster, despite popular narrative, might be more decentralized than other networks. :)

I had no idea that TruthSocial and Threads were both built on the same protocol (ActivityPub/Mastodon)

I apologize to everyone who tries to share anything serious today 

I don't believe you

If AI-generated art reflects my subconscious, am I curating or just uncovering what was always there?

As of today, I now have 12 daddys on Farcaster

reply guys

Remember to think critically about anything you see today

fucking craziest thing is putting together your Xth hundredth candle and still learning shit 😭 the learnings come between long lapses but boy do you learn

The things you're not capable of learning until you can do something blindfolded, and suddenly you find a moment of newfound clarity, are among the most profound realizations possible

AI art

so apart from ghibli/muppet meta

did you know you can ask 4o image-gen  to make transparent pngs based on your art

and to turn the reference angle
and to create pbr textures
and you can put all those into ai-to-3D sites

anyway here’s today’s cluttered edwardian antique sale https://t.co/LVRMVf7d8C

Demanding proof from artists that their work isn’t AI is like calling a chef over to your table to prove they didn’t microwave your steak. I’ve hired and worked with a lot of illustrators over the years — and I can tell you, they're not going to jump through hoops to prove they’re not a machine. Most of the artists I know would be deeply insulted by the implication.

I proudly employ AI tools exclusively to create the raw images I use in my artistic practice, iterating obsessively to capture things I've never seen before

The Index

Every time an authoritarian con-artist is held accountable, every time the mask slips in a courtroom, the spell weakens. 

It takes pressure. It takes a public that doesn't flinch when the volume gets turned up. It takes faith - not in the perfection of institutions, but in their potential.
