latest edition explores implications around: (1) making sense of the rapid displacement of startups and “the best model” rat race, (2) how “artifacts of humanity” will become a human flex of sorts… https://www.implications.com/p/the-law-of-displacement-speed-and?r=18d8&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

the loosely sensical haywire of our brains (with primitive instincts subconsciously kicking in) is one thing that reasoning machines and algos can’t outperform I suspect we will develop a newfound appreciation for human subtleties and EQ in the AI era ahead...

@dwr.eth how do you start a token gated channel? and why doesn’t any NFT family with mutual owners not have a default token gated channel? or am I just thinking about this all wrong or missing something?
