If you want serious artists in web3, make web3 more like serious art Yes, financialization is important (artists have to eat too) but nothing will drive creatives away faster than a seeing their art reduced to a ticker symbol

At first I thought these Ghibli family portraits, face reveals, new baby photos, etc. were a passing fad but now I'm not so sure. The more I think about it, the more I think that we're seeing a real-time renegotiation of our social media social contract. It's subtle, but I think we're going to be feeling the ripple effects for decades to come. What Ghiblificiation is telling us:

thinking about writing a mini book on rich person tax optimization strategies, would anyone read this? (not that I qualify yet but I have picked up a lot over the last 18mo and am itching to share)

Cursor was huge but it only solved half the problem We also need a code-aware browser that lets you point and click UI elements and trace that element back to the piece of code that generates it vibe coding rn is [ide → app] it should be [ide ←→ app]

As we all know, nothing makes the masses happier than expanding tipping culture and the hyper-financialization of art

I don't think we've registered just how much the combo of speech-to-text & LLMs is going to change people's relationship with technology. I played with speech-to-text apps years ago but, as someone who doesn't speak in finished prose, they always felt awkward compared to simply writing things down. Now with LLMs as a post-processing step to clean up, organize, and refine my points, speech-to-text is amazing. I can flip on the recorder, walk around, stare out of my window, and talk through points in no particular order — relying on the model to structure everything coherently for me. It reminds me a little of Hemingway's "write drunk, edit sober" approach, and after just a week of using this workflow, it's already having a big impact in how I approach my work

It's nuts that people are surprised by tariffs driving interest rates higher: The US imports more than it exports. Stuff comes in, dollars go out. At the end of the day, our trading partners end up with a bunch of USD laying around. These dollars need to go somewhere, and a big portion of them go back into the US in the form of treasuries — they're super liquid, considered very safe, and are an instrument of exchange basically anywhere on earth. If you have to park spare capital somewhere, treasuries are a good place to do it. The US issues new debt often and this constant flow of dollars coming back into the country creates a floor of demand for those new debt issuances. When demand is high, the US can get away with offering lower interest rates. Adding tariffs unwinds this. ↓↓ https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1909816230107623803

idly wondering how much better vibe coding results would be if you tell the model it's part of a pair programming duo this interaction pattern (one driver, one architect) has been tested live for hundreds of thousands of hours, maybe we should modify & expand vs. reinvent

products don't grow by discovering some magical reservoir of new users they grow by finding people who look a lot like their current users and converting them 1 by 1

Love to merkle but I don’t understand the frames to mini app name change Why swap from a very specific tem that you can own and has a chance to become the label for a whole category of interaction into something so generic and bland It feels like if 2011 Twitter had rebranded tweets to 'micro sms'
