Wow, thanks for the resounding welcome back!

As promised, I have a little to tell you about something that had me sort of offline-ish for the last couple months: I had my first bout of AI Doomer-itis

Luckily it was cured by trying to write this paper with AI as my assistant and understanding the promises and flaws

Part II: AI Doom 🐰 🕳️ 
~~~
You may need to see a clinician for AI Doomer-itis if you have any of the following symptoms:
- Hate querying (opposite of vibe coding): Finding queries where the LLM is wrong to make yourself feel better
- Thoughts of future generations unable to do an integral without internet

The world series player on every table is a good point. 

Casinos work because they are *slightly* not in your favor and most people are willing to overlook that for entertainment

Casino’s are carefully tuned so that win rate is high enough to retain players.

Memecoins and perps are orders of magnitude below those win rates

The problem with @pumpdotfun is that it’s too PvP to ever retain a significant number of users. 

It’s  a casino that is designed to have retention problems. 

It’s a casino where the World Series level player can be on every table via bots.

Shout out to the amazing engineers from the IBC Team who made this possible: @srdtrk @turingtestrun

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

So one thought is we seem to having a small defi renaissance right now.

With Hyperliquid, Berachain, gas prices being super cheap on Eth L1.

Growing defi apps has been super hard and I wonder if Farcaster can ride the wave to grow along a bunch of axis

Hi, I’m Jack.🤷‍♂️ chronically unserious, cautiously cynical

No cheating, drop your last saved photo no context

Daimo Pay. Build once, distribute everywhere

Literally nothing in crypto has PMF except stablecoins and memecoins.

I don’t think token is the main reason.

Token is just an expression of speculation on narratives

The yield comes from users who forgo their yield to earn Noble points

People who want Noble points forgo the yield

About 30 million dollars right now are doing that
