Remote work is one of the most important trends of this generation.

Most people get the big picture.

But they’re missing these 14 massive consequences & what they mean for how we live, work, & form relationships.

anyone who has ever built anything can tell you that theres a point in the development cycle where the sunk costs become too great, and the entire org chart starts walking on eggshells around an exec who is too tunneled in to realize his product sucks

now that excess energy can easily serve real demand for ai this argument about bitcoin becomes a pretty good point

[Algod @AlgodTrading]

My biggest issue with #bitcoin is that the energy is wasted. Imagine it was somehow redeemable or usable.

Many say its a feature and not a bug, imo just retarded as can do much more useful stuff with that energy

Its why i dont hold any bitcoin anymore

the final seasons of Westworld were sent from the future to give us a play by play of society under AIs influence

[Doug Antin @DougAntin]

kinda seems like AI is gonna be a defining election issue moving forward

nationalize the ai?
keep it private but censor it to oblivion?
allow open source?
restrict where data centers can be built & what energy resources can be allocated?

[Doug Antin @DougAntin]

@Eyaaaad dude was like.. so you're saying i don't have to lift a finger or do anything ever again and people will just come take care of me????

[Doug Antin @DougAntin]

The @BAXUSco experience puts a smile on my face for what feels like the first time in crypto in years. Got two bottles in the mail (scotch + tequila) that I'd never otherwise have experienced and the process was so smooth.

To me: crypto's super power has always been creating accessible markets for otherwise illiquid assets... so why not rare spirits?

The game-like experience of the vending machine, the best aspects of NFT-like mechanics, the "airdrop" of NBA tickets/unique World Cup bottles for power users, and the smooth blend of digital assets with RWAs is just so cool.

Even if you don't have a passion for booze - you should definitely check them out. That team is building a rocket ship.

@ampersend_ai @trmlabs that means I can give my agent money and let it run wild without worrying about it transacting with North Korea

HYPE this, Hyperliquid that

when do we get a perps market to set the standardized value of ai inference?

@impranavm_ Computer futures are coming https://t.co/6GY5Y5ZFsO

[Doug Antin @DougAntin]

@BAXUSco @web4O Dude... yes!

[Doug Antin @DougAntin]

there's a new type of virtue signaling forming:

the "I use ai for everything but I NEVER use it for writing" crowd

the "writing is thinking and I'd never outsource my thinking" crowd

the "I can always tell when someone is writing ai slop" crowd

[Doug Antin @DougAntin]

when a product actually serves a real need and addresses a real pain point the marketing process really isnt that difficult

[Doug Antin @DougAntin]

something i'm thinking about lately

we know intelligence is commoditizing but bottlenecks are forming around the scarce and in demand inputs

and we know crypto’s superpower is turning scarcity into markets

ai bottlenecks seem like a really interesting "real world" white space for crypto

things like compute, energy, data, trust, coordination, capital formation

[Doug Antin @DougAntin]

Cheap AI does not erase the need for judgment.

In fact... the value of good judgement rises because when everyone can produce work quickly, the hard to copy skill becomes deciding what is worth producing.

[Doug Antin @DougAntin]

Product marketing in the AI era is a context engineering job.

Building the resources and workflows that let your team ship great marketing fast without check-ins or approvals.

[Doug Antin @DougAntin]

Small GTM teams now have a strange advantage.

They can move faster than larger teams if they build shared context right.

A headcount bottleneck forms via numerous approvals and permissioned processes at large orgs that just doesnt exist for small teams with well designed AI workflows.

It's an arbitrage that's likely to close as larger orgs flatten their hierarchy (ex: Square, Coinbase, Shopify, etc)

[Doug Antin @DougAntin]

How is content marketing changing with AI?

Content hires may start to look less like writers and more like workflow designers.

Structuring inputs, building reusable context, shipping fast, and using strong taste/judgement to know what's slop and what's not.

[Doug Antin @DougAntin]

technical companies lose the market before they even get to the demo

they explain the architecture, then the features, then the edge cases, and finally the reason anyone should care in the first place

when really they should reverse the order and emphasize show, don't tell

[Doug Antin @DougAntin]

the ai-jobpocalypse narrative feels like a Y2K moment

every company is scrambling to have a solution in place before an expected future catastrophic event (AGI/ASI)

new businesses are emerging to address that fear

then the day comes and nothing happens and everyone's like... did we freak out over nothing?
