Frames on Farcaster are a powerful new primitive not just for decentralized social, but for the web overall.

Going beyond previous web2 attempts at open graphs and "embeds" (a la Facebook), Frames are a simple way to bring interactivity into posts -- turning posts into various applications.

Importantly for web3, Frames are portable across clients (i.e., interoperable): Since the logic of the Frame lives split across the Farcaster protocol, and the server running the Frame, they are totally independent of any one client (e.g., Warpcast).

For developers, this means you can create a consistent experience that can be shared all across the web.

For users, it makes possible "a real and universal graph of user actions across consumer apps” (as @antoniogm put it well in a recent post).

Another thing that makes Frames exciting in a way web2 couldn’t is that, because they use your Farcaster signing key, the Frame user is automatically authenticated into the Frame... So no matter which client they’re using, you know who interacted with the Frame straightforwardly.

Anyway, here are a few posts from a16z crypto engineering playing around with frames in just a couple hours (they're that easy to make!)

@mhdfaran @usestyle_ai @mhdfaran what do you think will happen when more and more websites will be SEO optimized via AI?

[Domenico @Geniovese]

@nikitabier Yeah, sure! Of course any single individual can replicate the skills, know-how, optimization/buying/scaling capabilities of an entire agency!

How did it happen? 👀

Camera of the future?

This "camera" has no lens.

Instead, it generates an image from an AI prompt, based on local context including location, time, and weather data.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

This morning, an AI generated image of an explosion at the US Pentagon surfaced.

With multiple news sources reporting it as real, the S&P 500 fell 30 points in minutes.

This resulted in a $500 billion market cap swing on a fake image.

It then rebounded once the image was confirmed fake.

AI is becoming dangerous.

Questo Tweet non ha assolutamente nulla di sbagliato e ha fatto molto male Salvini a toglierlo. È un manifesto estremamente sincero della destra di Salvini, in cui fluttuano assieme alluvioni, risultati calcistici, “buona domenica e voi cosa mangiate a pranzo amici?”, “vi sembra normale che un immigrato faccia questo, a me no”, “i nostri amici a quattro zampe”, “follia dell’Europa, vogliono dire che l’alcol contenuto nel nostro vino fa male, pazzesco amici”, terremoti, “i nostri angeli in divisa”, catastrofi, “preghiamo per loro”, “che buone le castagne”, “io sono per la pace in Ucraina, “roba da matti amici”, la pizza margherita come fanno a Napoli gnam”, “mi è scoppiata una gomma e la sinistra muta”, “dove andremo a finire, eh, signora mia?”. Tutto fluttua assieme nella più totale assenza di gravità. È l’alt right pop, felpa edition, mentre Fratelli d’Italia ne esprime la versione seria, carica di preoccupazione, storia, e anche livoroso rancore. Salvini non sembra invece preoccupato di nulla, sradicato anche dal nord di cui la sua lega fu interprete, fluttua Salvini nella pigrizia di una interminabile domenica pomeriggio. Magari Salvini fosse un fascista, si saprebbe almeno come definirlo, e invece niente, non mi viene in mente nulla. Il nulla.

The amount of people trying to prove a point on #ChatGPT3 being not-so-smart without understanding what a fu***ng language model, trained and based on data limited to 2021, can do is too damn high.
And it's also the proof of why AI will soon dominate the human race.

Negli uffici di @Agenzia_Entrate si accede solo tramite appuntamento o "saltacoda". Prenota online, via tel o app. A Milano 0 slot.
Riesco a parlare con un operatore:
- "Codice fiscale? Ufficio? NON HO SLOT"
- "Posso recarmi di persona?"
- "No, deve prenotare uno slot"

While reading the news or watching a video reportage our hearts are broken, we are angry. At best we ignore the ads, at worst we hate the brand that is placing its pre-roll video ad before the last updates from the front.

To all the brand/marketing/communication managers out there asking their consultants/agencies/partners how to react, marketing-wise, to the current Ukraine crisis: if someone comes to you with a scenario, a forecast, an estimate of the impact we’ll have, that’s BULLSHIT.

[Domenico @Geniovese]

Last but not least: brand safety. I’m not a huge fan of brands that, in the urge to protect their positioning, avoid any hipotetically dangerous content category as if the users were idiots with just short-term memory. But war is something else.
