in 5 years the most engaging farcaster accounts will be non-human, we won’t be able to tell the difference and we’re training them as we speak 😀 https://twitter.com/gabrielleydon/status/1596382732460126209

in financial markets making wrong predictions reduces your capital and ability to make future bets. in attention makets like social media making bold but wrong predictions has often the opposite effect. More following, engagement etc. is this something to be fixed or just a natural state of things?

Taleb hating on Vitalik. It was bound to happen given his hate for crypto. Unfortunately for Nassim Vitalik is playing in a different league. https://twitter.com/nntaleb/status/1593283722115420161

The Prop 167 (https://nouns.wtf/vote/167) seems to be contentious with many (all?) Nounders voting NO. My vote was a reluctant YES but I share the concern that 1000 ETH is a steep ask for an idea at an early stage.

I fully grok the idea of network states as online phenomena. I struggle with their transition to the physical world. The assumption is people we’re close to digitally are the same people we’d choose to live close to physically. In my experience the overlap is small at best. What am I missing?

which one is the most probable outcome for Farcaster *the protocol* in 5 years: 1. 80% 2. 20% of usage via the Merkle’s “official” client?

since all casts end up on an open data layer, it makes contributing to the FC protocol at an early stage so much more worthwhile. even if the project "fails" (which I don't think it will), the community can move to the successor. v different opportunity cost than on web2 social where you go down with the platform.

I’m noticing that I’m developing a compulsion to refresh the farcaster app just like I did with Twitter. Is that a feature or a bug?

What does it mean for Farcaster and other web3 apps charging money within their iOS apps? 30% cut for Apple? https://twitter.com/kantrowitz/status/1584670644419133441?s=46&t=TkTVVtkoVV-Gi3E6Php0iA

gm! to experiment with Stable Diffusion we trained the model using first 300 Nouns. We loved some of the results so wrapped it into an app so you can play too. Interesting to see how SD sees nounishness beyond the noggles. If you find some cool prompts, please share them! Check it out: https://noun51.xyz:5151/

prediction: we’ll look back at “real life identities” on existing social platforms as avatars 1.0 non-transferrable, locked in to a platform, hard to extend with AI capabilities, difficult to monetise, limited to one’s physical appearance with avatar’s storyline tied to events in a physical world.

some early images from "Nouns D-fusion" - a text-to-image stable diffusion model trained on Noun avatars. We've built a web app so everyone can experiment as well. Releasing a demo soon here on FC. https://i.imgur.com/qtFzxe0.jpg

is possible to filter casts by NFT ownership? e.g. “show me all posts by noun owners” (regardless of if I follow them)

joined farcaster right on time as the Noun discord is shutting down. Will Farcaster become a new schelling point for nounish conversations?
