A while back I had a conversation with @eggy0o0 from Social Layer and we talked about the ideological differences between the crypto community and the AI community. After years of working in crypto and then taking a step back in recent years I have understood and appreciated the spiritual vision of crypto much more

I’ve really appreciated meeting people like @miawintam who are working to figure out how to use crypto’s tech and ethos in service of neighborhood projects and local initiatives

Pics are in the wrong order. But yeah. I realized this after participating in pop up cities like @edgecity and @vitalia, which never would have emerged from the AI space. The liberal vision is alive in crypto more so than in other parts of the tech sector

That's an interesting observation. Crypto also has a strong individualistic camp. Their view is that individuals, and the individuals, matter over the collective. Arguments by that camp are often  reductionist, failing to adequately account for emergent properties. The Sovereign Individual, a fascinating book, is an example, and remains frequently cited as a foundational piece by this camp. How crypto, unlike AI, camps focus more on relational aspects in the social sense is intriguing--you got me mulling over it now, thanks!
