Gorillaz created one of the best interactive metaverse experiences to date. In 1998. During the explosion of manufactured pop boy bands, 2 British artists decided to manufacture their own band. They created the characters 2-D (vocals, keyboards), Murdoc Niccals (bass guitar), Noodle (guitar, keyboards, vocals) and Russel Hobbs (drums) and an entire fictional universe that they existed in. Live concerts often only displayed digital projections of the fictional band. Over the years they've blended the reality between the real band and the virtual one. The lead single, "Clint Eastwood" introduced the world to their first meta-verse that they could interact with. The styling of the characters and the music videos captivated an audience desperate for something new. https://youtu.be/1V_xRb0x9aw?feature=shared

Not surprising that it's a world class athlete that speed runs the web3 content creator gauntlet. When has it ever been possible before in history for this to be possible? It's like watching dreams come true.

After 30 years of experience, I've learned that I can't be perpetually online. Taking some time away (generally) to focus on some yard projects long over due. Cleared out a section of laurels in prep for putting in a privacy fence.

Great points made by Daniel. Sharing to the /founders channel for more visibility. @danielo is a really good follow for founders, and he's actively working to find community here in Farcaster so give him a look!

Sourcing quality content isn't a Warpcast specific problem. The fast majority of the online experience is devoid of quality content anymore. The web2 engagement model has made it so ppl are incentivized to post baity content: This content is designed to bait you into focusing your attention on it long enough for the creator to get paid by advertisers. Nowhere in this system is there an incentive that results in content viewers actually getting the information they need/want. Search for anything and you'll get endless pages of useless blogs, uninformed opinions, and pointless content. If I want to learn something I usually have to dig through forum discussions and Reddit threads for that small handful of ppl who actually have the information I'm looking for. Nothing about the modern Internet experience is designed to elevate that information so ppl can find it and the person who shared it gets recognition. This is the problem space we need to solve.

Getting a head start on the weekend with a little compost mulch to top off the garden in preparation for fall. I don't know if it's faster, but it's a heck of a lot more fun with machinery! 🤣

When I try to read this in frame, the mini app it opens doesn't allow me to scroll. On mobile, Android.

@ccarella.eth should collaborate with @zemm on @scoutgamexyz and to integrate GIVE with the scout game! I see potential for both projects to: - increase discovery - cross pollinate communities - add high context value via overlapping trust networks

This guy only knows happiness. Closest thing to trauma he's ever experienced is that one time I forgot to feed him breakfast before noon.

Is this the future? Self hosted AI agents that parse incoming messages to notify users of content they are likely interested in or obligated to respond to. Who can keep up without it anymore?

Training people to not suck at being social is harder than training the algorithm how to identify spam.

Such an important consideration for founders. Bootstrapping is sooo hard, but like a butterfly coming out of its cocoon, the struggle is often what proves your product. VC debt can give you the runway you need, but bad debt of any kind is the most deadly force in any economy. Raise carefully, friends!

There's a massive disconnect because Consumers aren't on the receiving end of any of the value being created in the attention economy. Consumers are used to content creation being subsidized by advertising. Without that subsidy, most can't afford the cost of actually supporting Creators. We have to fix the economics before Consumers can directly fund Creators! https://paragraph.xyz/@trigs/the-attention-economy (Also, say hello to my new blog. First entry, more to come!)

This is the kind of quality content this nerd-ville needs. Get off yer toucas and move yoself! Anyone who sits down for a living needs to recognize it's not a question of if you'll have back problems, but when. Take it from an old man who's had 2 back surgeries already. Whether these workouts seem too easy to be useful or too hard to be possible, simply moving your body in controlled ways every day is as critical as drinking water.

"Form follows finance" Has profit margins corrupted design aesthetic? Does maximizing for conversion rates undermine creativity? Have we lost the sense of creating things for the sheer obsessive satisfaction of making something that resonates with others in exchange for a better bottom line? These are the kinds of questions I like to see coming up in this industry where we literally get to start from scratch with all our theories.
