Babe, wake up, a virtual coin has crossed some arbitrary threshold expressed in a fiat currency whose own value is rooted in the collective belief system of one particular species of primates

Am I correct in saying that the vast majority of AI-generated art based on text-to-image models faces serious copyright issues? 🤔
Even if artists fine-tune their models, they often rely on systems like Stable Diffusion or Flux, which are trained on copyrighted works. Correct?

Worst part of being a woman is being aware your period is coming and this is part of why you want to kill or die, but it doesn't change how you feel.

Sometimes I can be really mean. Well, when people deserve it. We've been collecting bad experiences with a specific realtor and, in Brazil, Google Maps and Facebook evaluation count a lot.

So here's the beginning of the evaluation someone is reading right now.

"If you want to convince someone to give up on buying a property, this is the right real estate agency! I have never had SO MANY HORRIBLE experiences like this one."

and it follows

it makes me so mad. time is the most valuable thing we have.

1/ I find it telling that price has overtaken every other meaningful metric, such as active wallets, transaction volume, number of validating nodes, etc. in the current zeitgeist. Camila’s tweet is the latest example of that disease. 🧵

Farcaster

degen and ham chains were mistakes and they set the whole farcaster ecosystem back

im posting this after reaching out to @jacek and @deployer privately, but since they both answered that they have no plans on sunsetting the chains, i want to give a heads up to all other teams building their economies on farcaster:

don't launch you own chains

1. fc ecosystem only has a chance to work if there is a lot of liquidity in one place
2. separate chains fragment the liquidity and only benefit the passive token holders (less sell pressure) and mev bot operators (arbitrage between chains and pools). actual users pay in UX, mev and fees
3. devs who want to launch integrations with these projects are fucked because most infrastructure providers don't support these small chains

im building supercast wallet and it's beyond frustrating to see how close we were to having something truly great and how much harder it is to build a good UX on top of these projects because they selfishly decided to launch their own chains

Polymarket is where you go to predict the future

Farcaster is where you go to build it, or witness it being built

What is your take on TikTok? Chinese spyware or it’s okay?

I think the only way to allow a foreign app is to allow end to end encryption for all internet users but the US loves to have backdoors for themselves so of course China would use it. https://apple.news/Aa1NBt28MQ1Gep3LOKNhJpA

DM me if anyone wants the invitation for /truefarcaster channel.

Friendly reminder to periodically check your Farcaster storage so that your old casts don't get lost in time
