@0xjawor @grok is this cape yamu in Phuket?

Looks like my 2016 Pokemon Go addiction walking the Gold Coast from 1am to 4am for a month helped shape the future of AI.

You’re welcome Niantic 🙏

[Mark Gadala-Maria @markgadala]

This is wild.

143 million people thought they were catching Pokémon. They were actually building one of the largest real-world visual datasets in AI history.

Niantic just disclosed that photos and AR scans collected through Pokémon Go have produced a dataset of over 30 billion real-world images. The company is now using that data to power visual navigation AI for delivery robots.

Players didn't just walk around with their phones. They scanned landmarks, storefronts, parks, and sidewalks from every angle, at every time of day, in lighting and weather conditions that staged photography would never capture. They documented the physical world at a scale no mapping company with a fleet of vehicles could have replicated on the same timeline or budget.

Niantic collected this systematically, data point by data point, across eight years, while users thought the only thing at stake was catching a rare Charizard.

The most valuable AI training datasets in the world aren't being assembled in data centers. They're being built by people who have no idea they're building them.

The biggest life hack for most people right now. Spend some time with Claude Cowork and those he listed, your life will 10x

[Miles Deutscher @milesdeutscher]

Claude runs my entire life, and it's the best investment I've ever made.

Ideation/creative tasks = Sonnet 4.6 + Opus 4.6
Vibe coding = Opus 4.6 on web/app
Heavy coding tasks = Opus 4.6 + Claude Code CLI
Scheduled tasks = Cowork
Repetable workflows = Cowork Plug-ins + Claude Skills
Gym advice = Sonnet 4.6
Nutrition coaching = Sonnet 4.6
Quick queries = Haiku 4.5
Claude Chrome extension = Haiku 4.5
Claude x Slack (and other tools) = Sonnet 4.6 & MCPs

What else gives you THIS much ROI for $100-200/month?

[Mike @HostMike]

What your future looks like if you don’t lock in to AI right now.

It’s like the Matrix but all day spin class 💦

@ysiu @animocabrands @opencampus_xyz @TheSandboxGame @Moca_Network @Mocaverse_xyz @animocaresearch @AnimocaVentures @Portalcoin Cool seeing them hanging in your offices. Had a great meeting with the @AnichessGame team and impressive to see the vibe coding with Kings Gambit.

Happy CNY! 🧧 @ysiu @jesusislord 🥳

@jesusislord @FunjibleGames Thanks for sharing 🙏

[Mike @HostMike]

@ChicoCrypto It’s honestly great to see you back as I used to really like your early content.
But why come back and just chirp and nag

Just be you, focus on what you control/are interested in and share with your community
That’s what worked before and what ppl actually care about

[Mike @HostMike]

@FunjibleGames I will be there 🥳

Something is clearly shifting in gaming & opportunity is starting to return.

Yat Siu’s research highlights where momentum is building so I broke it down and explored what comes next.

[Mike @HostMike]

@0xAn7onio @cagyjan1 As for one that’s a super long shot, I actually like the idea for is @decimated_game
It’s hard cause I love the idea of this type of survival game & in time I hope it will be more polished like a proper AAA but the token price is below private sale. So 10-100x if they survive

[Mike @HostMike]

@RastislavBakala What are your thoughts on this? I like you value the real growth, the real projects actual founders and teams building. But it seems like the days of speculators caring about that are gone. They rush to the penguin memes because they know if they are early they can make money now

[Mike @HostMike]

@0xAn7onio @cagyjan1 Illuvium still looks promising with at least a year of runway and partnerships. They are doing their town hall week if you want to see their most recent updates

But it’s also so true
So many “sure thing” games like Nyan Heroes just gone

[Mike @HostMike]

@Mocahub @ysiu @animocabrands @AnichessGame @RockstarGames But for the near future we see games like @illuviumio at $5 or ~35mil MC. There's no reason with some gaming sentiment it can't stay around ~$100mil for a year. That would still be a 2-3x on your investment in 1 year 👀

[Mike @HostMike]

@Mocahub @ysiu @animocabrands @AnichessGame @RockstarGames Plus sometime between now and when ppl actually see what happens with the GTA 6 marketplace effect is what will bring the most momentum back. So it is coming, we just don't know when. 3/4

[Mike @HostMike]

@Mocahub @ysiu @animocabrands @AnichessGame @RockstarGames This gives larger games & ecosystems the time they need to finish their builds. They always said they needed until 2026-2028 but crypto speculators are impatient. In that time they will also build more partnerships. Illuvium & Sandbox have some big ones coming. 2/4
