who was in charge of data science and I was in charge of product management. Later

Would a Farcaster dev support bot be helpful? It would feed in Farcaster docs info + maybe replies from the team on technical questions. Possibly considering a side project that also hits on being useful so I can better dogfood the dev tooling myself

HOW AMPS WORKS

Amps users can pay their followers for recasts. This is especially helpful when you have a message that's so important you're willing to pay to get the word out. 

Algorithmic feeds use recasts as a strong signal when deciding what content to show a user. For example, this recent cast appeared in my feed because @jessepollak recasted it, despite the fact that I don't follow the @coinbasewallet account. 

What is a recast from Jesse worth? Amps answers that question by allowing users to set a price for their recasts. 

Markets are the main use case for crypto, and Farcaster is the best social protocol for this kind of peer-to-peer economy.

that’s the most I’ve spent on $lemons since my last two cars

i know that we joke about Erewhon on here, but I’ve been doing a deep dive and I’ve come across some pretty amazing nuggets of information:

the store draws its name from a book written by Samuel Butler, also titled Erewhon

the book features one of the first written references to artificial intelligence and machine intelligence 

the author’s name is referenced in the Dune series as the crusade against machines, Butlerian Jihad, wherein all ai/conscious robots were eliminated

the secret to farcaster engagement is erewhon content

Wallet balances will henceforth be denominated in units of Erewhon strawberries.

the water is slightly turbid beneath the surface, which is part of the rules of the game.

In general, Plume has already built two huge and expanding ecosystems, namely,

Something very on-the-nose about investing 500b to build AI infrastructure and calling it “Stargate”

A bit like Reagan “Star Wars” or Japan’s “5th gen computing”

Great tech enters history obliquely. Cul de sacs start in on-the-nose ways, even if they achieve great heights. Eg internet as arpanet was oblique, space program that stagnated with Apollo was on-the-nose. Crypto was oblique, “private blockchains,” CBDCs and e-ID schemes are on-the-nose. The Alexnet genesis event and transformers were oblique, “alignment” tech is on the nose. Landing reusable boosters was oblique. SLS is on-the-nose.

On-the-nose history-making goals are for politicians. Tech is most interesting when oblique. In the last decade SV tech in particular has lost its obliquity. Ironically, it now seems to start with ever-more ideological manifestos the way weak “alt” tech visions used to. Big money is always insecure so goes on-the-nose. The small money p,aging on the margins otoh is worth keeping an eye on.

Putting into words a gut feeling I had about Stargate

favorite thing about o1-pro is how it takes like 20 minutes

politics

There's an 89% chance Pete Hegseth gets confirmed as Secretary of Defense.
