1st edition of the new newsletter. In some respects, not having a tentpole article means I'm actually find a little bit of extra time to add more colour/context to my roundups. Enjoy. :) World Computer Sculpture Gardens, Factorio, and Music as Daily Bread: https://sceneswithsimon.com/p/world-computer-sculpture-gardens

If Acemoglu et al's work on Why Nations Fail point to lack of good institutions, I wonder to what extent blockchains can/do act as institutional-ish backstops. Replacing institutions with protocols. Money's an example. But even like a prediction market. Feels like being able to bet on the future, makes the future more certain? eg, here's a heck of a control group/study question: being able to bet on politics actually induces stability?

After a hundred weekly newsletters, I'm gearing it down to align focus on finishing my new novel and personal life. 🙏 Will still be sharing things each week, but not necessarily with a big tent pole article. Thanks for reading. https://sceneswithsimon.com/p/gearing-down

Does aether post any of its transcripts/logs like Terminal of Truth sometimes does? Hard to find code/documentation on these agents. Think it's probably imperative that eventually they also post logs to confirm they aren't being puppeteered.

Is there any good technical articles on how to *actually* decentralize an LLM AI agent's wallet?

Wrote this week for the Nouns + @kiwi competition, where I highlighted my favourite Nouns project: Delivery at Dawn. I also contrast it to current happenings in collectible media platforms. https://sceneswithsimon.com/p/nouns-delivery-at-dawn-and-collectible

What's the most successful Nouns funded mint? Or proposal that's returned the most to the DAO?

For this week's newsletter, I somehow combined Linklater's Dazed & Confused, studio focus groups, carbohydrates, and chronic information availability. 😅. Enjoy. https://sceneswithsimon.com/p/to-being-a-little-more-dazed-and

TikTok is showing me Disco Elysium content again and getting all the feels again. The longer I'm away from it, the more I feel it's the best game I've played.
