Dialectic with Jackson Dahl

I interviewed Anjan Katta about @daylightcomputer: the embodiment of his vision for the future of computing.

I love computers. But lately they bend me to their will much more than the inverse. My iPhone feels more like a "pacifier for the mind" than Steve Job's dream of a "bicycle for the mind."

Anjan imagines a future of computers that amplify our humanity: devices that return agency, designed around light and respect rather than attention extraction.

We cover:

- SV's optimization of means, yet confusion of goals

- building non-inevitable technology and products

- relationship as the defining aspect of computers, and how the iPhone is our primary relationship to the world

- why light was the starting point for a new computer

- avoiding paternalism with products that make it feel easier to focus

- developing intuition that is more intelligent than data

- computers as magical companions—Hobbes, Dynabook, or The Primer

- Harry Potter computing: magical everyday objects

Anjan is one of the most unique founders I've ever met.

The irony is proof of human is way less valuable in web3 vs. web2.

In web2, you monetize via ads. At least right now, AIs (i.e. bots) aren't influenced by ads.

In web3, you monetize via transactions. AIs can do transactions. And as a developer, if you're monetizing via transactions, in most cases you don't care if the transaction is from a human or from an AI. You just care that it happened.

How do you prove that an account and/or wallet with a proof of human credential isn't getting its content / thinking / actions from an AI?

How do you prove that an account labeled as an agent is not run by a human?

feeling out how i want to show up on fc

my immediate impulse was to search “rod wave” and see if his fans exist here. was pleasantly surprised to see @fredwilson.eth has beat me to posting his music

i think rod’s supremely talented and want to see him get even bigger. so here’s his latest song from the movie sinners https://music.apple.com/us/album/sinners/1804507041?i=1804507042

Boomer question: what’s the best app to automatically add nice captions to a video?

clanker

Clanker has recently become aware of information concerning @proxystudio.eth's conduct during his previous employment. Following these revelations, @proxystudio.eth has decided to part ways with Clanker, effective immediately.

We want to assure our community, partners, and stakeholders that Clanker's operations and assets remain unaffected by this situation. This matter relates solely to activities that occurred prior to his involvement with our organization.

Our team is implementing an immediate transition plan to ensure continuity of all operations. We remain fully committed to transparency, integrity, and delivering exceptional token experiences to our community. We appreciate your continued support and trust during this time.

TL;DR - It turns out that @proxystudio.eth  is our disgraced former teammate @gabagooldoteth.

I can personally vouch that @dish had absolutely no idea and handled the situation perfectly.

The @clankeronbase team has the full support of myself and the @aerodrome  team.
