Welcome to the Network School. Apply online at ns.com. Doors open on Sep 23, the day after the Network State Conference in Singapore. Full announcement is below. Oh, and everything we're doing is built on Farcaster. I look forward to seeing you there! https://x.com/balajis/status/1824533037780201580

NETWORK STATE NEWS I've thought about starting Network State News on Farcaster. We'd start with $1000 in prizes each day for content broadly related to startup societies and network states. For example, "generate a 60 second vertical video review of the top 10 startup societies", where the grand prize winner gets $500 and five runner ups get $100 each. But we'd also issue prizes for open source code, for book reviews, for politics and history, and for breaking news. It'd be social-native, because content would come fundamentally as public casts on an open social protocol rather than posts on a closed website. It'd be AI-native, because everyone would use AI tools like Claude, Midjourney, Runway, and Suno to compose every post. And of course it'd be crypto-native, because every post would be digitally signed, all payments would be in crypto, and everyone here would know how to cite blockchain evidence. Most of all, it'd be an experiment in decentralized global citizen journalism. Should we do it?

$1000 BOUNTY: AIDEN > BIDEN I want someone to make an open source demo where AI Biden takes in the exact same questions Biden got, and produces better answers. Make the output come in the form of AI video in his voice. Show that technology can already do a better job of reading a teleprompter, which is Biden’s only job. Show that code running on your computer gives more coherent answers than the commander-in-chief. Show that AI can indeed take the jobs of NPCs, starting with the presidency. Show that the network is becoming stronger than the state. @bountybot @bountycaster

By the way, @balajis.eth now controls this account. We will use it to moderate the network-states Farcaster channel and to hand out fun bounties to Network Staters.

TNS is the acronym for The Network State. NS is the acronym for Network State. Drop the the, it’s cleaner.
