if you look at the numbers, the reality is stark: we are <1% of the way to bringing the world onchain. we won't achieve our mission by thinking short term or operating with a zero sum mindset. only thing that matters is building and growing onchain use cases that "just work."

I was just standing beside someone who ordered a literal soy latte. I think until this point I didn't even realize that soy lattes exist as an actual drink; my mind only recognized the term "soy latte" as a standardized culture war slur that the opposite tribe sometimes uses against my archetype.

Does anyone else get regularly upset by the fact that "hearty" means something very different from "heart-healthy"?

Do people actually consciously make a judgement about quality of service when they tip??! I always just mindlessly add 15-20%. So the whole "tipping incentivizes quality of service" argument has always seemed unrealistic to me. https://x.com/tracewoodgrains/status/1826601506885320775

I just got my Basename as part of Onchain Summer! 😎 Basenames are ENS names supercharged by @base: low-cost (or free!), easy to use, and a powerful tool for connecting builders across the onchain economy. Get yours today.

I've been finding quality of posts and discourse on Farcaster consistently high recently. My impression is that it got spammy around 6 months ago, but since then has quietly improved a lotl

it's @base's first birthday, and IT'S STILL DAY ONE we've onboarded thousands of builders, millions of people, and billions to the @base onchain economy. in the next 365 days, it's still day one: remain humble, keep our heads down, continue to build, and stay based.

on my way to BaseCamp, where I'll be joined by ~400 core builders of @base. a year ago, I did the same journey with ~40 builders to launch @base from the mountains. thank you to everyone who believed in base and decided to join us on this journey. it's still day one.

One of my favorite posts from @robinhanson: "Spaceship Earth Explores Culture Space" https://www.overcomingbias.com/p/spaceship-earth-in-culture-spacehtml By inventing, trying out, and having competitions between different cultures, we're doing something that's every bit as meaningful as space exploration.

... financial scams. This is an area where many people have no existing defenses - their family members desperately calling them saying they really need a big pile of money quickly. Or the corporate equivalent of the same. This is the reason I wrote this article: https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2024/02/09/securityquestions.html Though we really need a much stronger concerted education effort in this regard. Also much better authentication across the stack.

One way to look at the possible effects of deepfakes in politics is to look at "shallow fakes" that have been possible for a long time. For example, this screenshot purporting to be a "you're free to say whatever nasty stuff you want" whitelist for twitter. I actually have no idea if this is real or fake, but there definitely are some people who are treating it as real, imo without sufficient evidence. And yet, the effects of things like this are pretty bounded. This feels like a plausible outcome for deepfakes in politics. The smart people know not to trust a politician's statements without confirmation on official channels, and less smart people get tricked, as they do today with shallow fakes. If something fake goes viral, Community Notes can help on the margin in making it clear that it's fake. Most normies don't actually look at this stuff in real time, and so the effect ends up not too bad. This is the strongest case for not being too worried. The place where I am *more* worried about deepfakes is...
