It seems recently there's a competition between AI and crypto for the most important modern technological advancement. I think it's a bit of a distraction from the larger picture of how our digital lives are evolving and becoming more powerful and robust. We recently put together 1/3

I've been wrestling a bit with the idea of scarcity recently, especially as it relates to crypto and AI. Crypto is in many ways about creating scarcity in the digital realm, while AI recently has been more about increasing the abundance of creativity in the digital realm. 1/x

More and more I'm starting side projects with a quick chat with OpenAI. Bounce a few ideas around, get some sample code, learn about a few relevant libraries...

Are there any companies working on making it super easy to train an AI on specific data?

Having a lot of fun thinking about how the blockchain's potential for permanence can be leveraged. It immediately made me think of chess and having important if not all games on chain to study. So I built out fully on-chain versions of chess and checkers: https://twitter.com/EthosWalletXYZ/status/1592952874329591808

It sucks how much predictions about the future in silicon valley are still based on rough pattern matching, especially around the way you look.

I'm a bit surprised by all the pessimism about crypto following FTX. Human beings making bad decisions will always result in bad outcomes. We haven't even begun to understand the potential benefits (and challenges) that the underlying tech of crypto can offer humanity.

I know people are frustrated by the number of L1s out there. Personally I think it's great that people are pushing on the tech. That said, the way these ecosystems seem to be driven by hints of airdrops from products that are often just copycats from other L1s really diminishes the value of the technological progress..

I know it's crypto winter and you should be building for degens, but I keep finding my mind drifting to a future where most of our digital lives (with many touch points in meat space) are facilitated by the blockchain. Still want to build toward that future...

Is it an unpopular opinion that sprints in software development kind of suck? I love XP and agile in general, but sprints feel like a crutch on the way toward legitimate and fluid iteration (which might be impossible to truly achieve, but seems worth shooting for).

We released a fun project today. A completely on-chain version of the popular 2048 game we call Sui 8192 on Sui's DevNet. Instructions on how to play and more about how it works below.

The mixture of ownership, investing, art, and experiences on web3 should make the wallet an incredibly intimate experience. Right now on average it feels far more utilitarian.

I spent 10 years trying to push on education. I have a ton of thoughts that I haven't written down yet. Debating digging in to them on here after @packy's question about education the other day. Not exactly web3 content, though...
