there's a lot one could say about this, but I'm only gonna comment on one part here. As an artist my business is beauty, and while it is very very tempting to think beauty aligns with the good, it's actually amoral. It has its own axis https://mnovendstern.com/TechBrother

I've been learning Chinese and this maps startlingly onto my experience w 漢字. My hypothesis has been that it's related to the same neurological phenomenon that makes the memory palace effective, aka memory is spatial and moving the hand is enough to trigger it https://x.com/prmshra/status/1862532036394983596?t=-2S2nmKPANzHcrDrdF3JKA&s=19

favourite texts about mechanism design, good for introducing an audience to the field? or alternatively, protocols or projects that make good case studies?

Just sharing a selection of the memoryforms minted so far! I love reading what people say about them, and am hoping that over time this can grow to be a collaborative memorial, and leave something permanent onchain even though so many of the Lifeforms themselves were ephemeral 💐 if you cared for a lifeform before Mar 6 of this year, you're eligible to create one - I might expand this to everyone who cared for a lifeform ever but it'll take me a lil while 😅

some pics from my presentation about artist DAOs at Sonar Festival back in June I've been experimenting with interactive presentations formats, first at STRP Festival last year where I convened the audience into a DAO and had them vote on which of my artworks I talked about, and now at Sonar, where I actually wrote a lil app where the audience answered quizzes and as well as voting on which examples I should talk about in detail. It's a little bit tiktok npc and a lil bit educational game show. Planning to clean it up and use again in a somewhat different format early next year 🎰 📸: Jean-Marc Joseph

one of my most woo beliefs is that 1) suffering and 2) mortality and possibly 3) a felt sensory experience of these things ie. pain will turn out to be necessary for AGI

very ironic to be posting this in four places because we're at the platform wars phase of protocol development
