Where I think the future of work is impacted: the act of *creating, editing, and discovering* will change because of AI. the act of *monetizing, distributing, and marketing* will change because of blockchains. The gap being "shrunk" is how long it takes from thought to monetization. This is the same gap that continues to shrink in all human eras of economic construction. You can see this happening in real-estate, legal fields, retail, music, and so many other vertical and horizontal business structures. It's possible, the least impacted in all of this is the software business, and it's totally reasonable for that to be the case. This is also why MCP's have legs. Instead of recreating software that is great, you change who can interact with the software within very constrained parameters. Previously you needed code access to manipulate the software, now we are recreating the human actions from within the machines. It's wild how early it all still is but how omni-present the writing on the wall is.

One of the things I will forever cherish as a founder is all the documenting I did on Farcaster early days of my journey through understanding products, people, users, tech stacks, blockchains, and just general personal curiosity and learning. Early Farcaster was literally a university environment. Super smart people acting like a heat shield of information. Thinking in ways the outside world was not, when most doubted. All this appliestoday with drastic nuanced differences with the network, niches, and features scaling. Super glad to be able to continue growing myself here since the beginning.

People are so mistaken as to why sun glasses exist. It’s not to cover your eyes from the sun but to cover your eyes when light hits your face like the club lights at closing.

if you stop and listen to conversations at local dine-ins where colleagues gather during lunch you'll notice how slow the conversations are and how slow humans live their lives. This all comes crumbling down in a hyper information space. And it is so coming.

I thought I knew how to go slow. I was really wrong. Naval was right about the monkey. I thought I understood before, no, not even close. Still think the stream is important, except, disconnecting from the stream completely is equally important. Especially at bringing things to market.

After some thought going to retire my @ampsfun for a couple months. I’m actually impressed that I’ve earned this much in such a short period of time. I think a certain direction of this product is extremely successful. In a weird but right way. Like a reverse relationship of a tip. Meets both sides of the market (supply/demand). Rooting for it will turn it back on at some point.

damn the last 2 weeks have been smelting my brain on so many levels. yet it couldn't be of hardest of times. with the seamlessness of a sailor through storm driven choppy waters. with the tangential ideas of how language has driven the current of humanity for eons and how it divides every single aspect of human perception and reality. running through the vein of history of written spoken to written once more. language from air into machines, through mechanisms creating divisions in land, seas, humans, and minds. constructing social class and every other layer we have built society with.

I think the part history will find creative about my work is how we had to go about blending reality between digital and physical through clothes.

It’s really wild how unbounded ideas are. Although it’s true that ideas without action are only ideas, there’s also truth in the fact that a great idea is better than any idea. The value of arriving at a great idea faster, with fewer deployed resources, and making it entirely adaptable—“The Opportunity”—in the moment will trump any idea paired with a ton of action.

I like to remind myself sometimes of this. I think it still has so many legs.

You could practically replace each use of the word “church” with “government” and you’ll see what’s happening and will happen. This is a “history rhymes” type of scenario and the main change is the medium in which human coordination takes shape in. Eg. print, computers etc. scrolls, papers, books or memory drive, internet, blockchains. Things take a while to mature of the beast. https://www.history.com/articles/renaissance-influence-reformation-humanism
