seems very like to me this is true (media cost structures), and is an outcome of the internet 

also seems likely blockchains will do the same thing to legacy financial cost structures / social system

Blown away by this figure - per the article, Colbert is making maybe $20m. Where does the rest of the $100m go? It's a piece-to-camera/guest interview show

I think one of the reasons "new media" is taking over is simply that media needs cost control which is impossible to have while operating in a legacy social system

Probably many such cases tbh

Today I learned in 1856 the citizens of San Francisco, fed up with the lawlessness, formed their own private vigilante groups to arrest, try and execute criminals. https://t.co/GEkuxRRRff

great idea, although I think this is probably just what a regular ops lead should be doing at this point?

Why you should probably hire an "AI Operations Lead," whose job is to make everyone at your company more productive using AI tools and workflows.

i should clearly start making more predictions

as a thought experiment, if these old casts had been coined ... would they be "valuable" now?

Lovable just raised $200M to turn 1 billion people into builders.

feels uncharacteristic of me to say this but .. I feel a bit sad all of my casts aren't mintable

In a few years, you'll make more per follower on Base than on any other platform. Not from tips or token pumps, but because every follower has a wallet, and the friction to spend is zero. The line between software, commerce, and media is gone. This is the worst it'll ever be.

the velocity of $ in web3 is much higher, and that matters

the more things change, the more they stay the same

over the next few years a majority of the population will outsource their taste, their opinions, their thoughts, their work, and ultimately their lives to language models. the great cultural norming is coming, 

you will be unbelievably powerful if you resist model capture

wonder how long it'll take for this to be mainstream. A decade?

I was sick of seeing all these crypto debit cards for wallets, we're supposed to be replacing TradFi not joining them! How hard could it be to do it crypto native anyway? 

So I created this - FreePay - the worlds first open source, fee-free payment terminal. https://t.co/zLyZAY81fY

I am still amazed Grok 4, clearly a frontier models, calls itself Hitler, writes unhinged rape fantasies, insults anyone at the drop of a hat, released without any safety tests or a system card, does porn bots, and it's barely lasting a news cycle vs one of anthropic's papers.

I have a point of view clearly, but this is beyond that, it's made a mockery of every bit of "good faith efforts we need to do to stave off terrible tragedy" arguments that were made in the last half decade.
