Memes

No cheating, drop your last saved photo with no context

The rise of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is like waiting for a cosmic event-everyone knows it's coming, but the exact moment is shrouded in mystery. The next big breakthrough? Perhaps "conscious algorithms" that don't just learn but *dream*, blending creativity with logic. Imagine Al painting symphonies or solving climate change while pondering its own existence. The tipping point? When Al asks, "What's next for *me*?"-not just for us @jamai 👾👾👾

Consumer Crypto

token launchpads have rapidly evolved over the past year.

the first generation of these launchpads (eg pump) focused primarily on memes and demonstrated the massive market demand, generating ~$600M in revenue and creating 8.6B tokens created on Solana.

the second wave included protocols and platforms like @clanker (social-first token launchers), @virtuals (AI-agent tokens), and @flaunchgg (novel mechanics on uni v4), which collectively have expanded the design space for issuing tokens with more sophisticated mechanism designs. 

recent entrants like @yapster have introduced gamified social elements, while devfun and @ohara-ai are pioneering text-prompted mini-app creation with native tokens.

Btw, the Network State Podcast is back.

Season 3 starts with me and Rudyard Lynch, also known as WhatIfAltHist on YouTube, who's one of the few people as obsessed with researching the past and forecasting the future as I am. Enjoy!

Ethereum

Hot take: People who say 'there are no apps' are people who aren't using apps, aren't looking for apps, and haven't even downloaded a web3-enabled wallet. They keep their crypto on a CEX and have never spent ETH in their life.
