🚨The first episode of All Models Are Wrong is out🚨 What the @Internetarchive founder predicted 50 years ago I spoke with @brewster_kahle during @GETDWeb about his work on AI in the 80s, what went wrong with the web and the one time he tried to start a bank.

MAYBE I WAS WRONG ABOUT BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY I wrote about how I always used to make fun of the guys who said things like "Bitcoin is speculative, but the underlying blockchain technology is interesting." And now I think maybe they kinda had a point.

French Police rush to stop a group of masked thugs that have been committing vandalism. Then they stop. When they realize they are their Undercover Police mates.

three stories about times that i FUMBLED THE BAG (maybe you can relate) 1. Steve Jobs used my song to open a press conference. 2. I made a jingle for AirBnB when they were pre-funding in 2008. 3. I made (and lost) $2.4 million selling my songs as NFTs.

the woke right cancelling and debanking a media outlet for writing about palestine
The Canary will be closed for the foreseeable future. As of today (Monday 19 October), the Canary will be closed indefinitely. After multiple attacks this year, from Lloyds debanking us to former employees spreading malicious lies on social media, the situation has become unsustainable, both financially and operationally. After 11 years, we take this action with deep sadness and regret. The extent of the lies, defamation, and harassment by ex-staff - coupled with the constant attacks by the state and those who’d see us destroyed - has become too much. However, it is not over. This week, we will publish what really happened at the Canary and push back against the vicious campaign against our team and us. We may be down, but we’re not out yet.

If you seriously believe that events in France are a result of *immigration* you are actually human cattle and will believe literally anything.

two frontiers im pondering as we quietly lay tracks for @gitcoin next chapter 1. syntropic financing 2. consumer adoption syntropy is the tendency of living systems to organize toward greater order, energy, and complexity over time. eg a forest doesn't just sustain itself, it gets richer over time. richer (in the context of nature) = more soil, more species, more energy turned into resilience each season. syntropic financing asks what capital would look like if it behaved the same way. money that leaves every system it touches more alive than it found it, where the returns are measured in the health and growth of the whole. consumer adoption is how that reaches the world. the primitive only matters if ordinary people touch it through products they'd already choose, no ideology required. get both right and you have an engine that grows the system and an on-ramp wide enough for everyone to climb aboard. I think in 2019-2022 @gitcoin was a leader in both. QF is a small glimmer of what syntropic financing can be. and @gitcoin was one of the first consumer dapps ppl used. I think that in 2027+ it is possible we could do it again at a larger and more holistic scale - tho success is not guaranteed, this is an aspiration and a target, imo we are well positioned to take another shot.

Balaji is referring to kicking everyone who disagrees with him off his app as "the first decentralized democratic digital election." You don't hate these people enough

The new owner of farcaster, @balajis, has banned me from their side of the fork. Absolutely incredible work. So anyway, we're doing the hard fork of farcaster and would love to hear name ideas for our non-cancerous side. Spinning up an emergency group chat: t.me/+4eYOApUSw500Yzgx

It's just so funny for a guy who doesn't shut up about wokism does the most woke thing possible but automated with AI
Unsurprisingly, I was also restricted on far caster after Balaji bought it Techno-zionism in action It's so fucking stupid that now I have to be worried about my data being used against me because @neynarxyz needed to sell a social media protocol to a neoreactionary
