@devanshmehta @lex_node Arbitrum didn't market as an extension of Ethereum?

[JORD @JordanLesich]

@owocki It has actually.

No one starts a Marxist revolution because they want complete state control and mass starvation.

@FrancescoRenziA Will likely contribtute to, or cause those subsidies to dissapear, lol.

2019: Chuds tell you crypto is useless. It'll never happen. Pack it up. Go home.

2026: Chuds tell you crypto is useful, but only for CeFi. That's it. Nothing else.

Lesson: Ignore the Chuds.

Onwards.

[JORD @JordanLesich]

Yep, that's how I understood it.

My thinking is that, unless you're reading something purely informational (manuals, docs, etc), composition matters every bit as content. In many cases, how a writer subconsciously composes words has extra information that we consume as well. When we outsource that to LLMs, we strip that extra data.

If you want to test this theory, get an LLM to write you a horror story and see if it can scare you. Or see if it can write a comedy routine that actually makes you laugh.

Writers often use theory of mind when they try to evoke a reaction from the reader. They are checking their own emotions and trying to anticipate the emotions of the reader. Often that 'extra data' is found in style and composition. LLMs can't do this. That's why its great for docs or code, and shit for a simple horror story.

Also, as a kicker, there's going to be so much low-effort spam associated with those AI artifacts, that many people are going to immediately discount the content, even if it's good. For better or worse.

@ameensol Ideally it's more freedom.

Immutable contracts (can) create:

- Shared terms of agreement
- Ability to opt in to agreements that we actually agree with
- Some protection from overreach
- Stability, which helps create material abundance

[JORD @JordanLesich]

@devanshmehta Exactly!

Just sell stage time to the highest bidder. Who cares if the content is relevant?

The only thing that matters is that we clog our core distribution channels with competing VC slop. That way no one has to know what is being built on Ethereum!

Why isn't every L2 doing this?

@1a35e1 @mozilla @googlechrome @torproject @ChromiumDev I see. Yeah, that would be nice.

[JORD @JordanLesich]

@DisruptionJoe You can't have decentralization if you can just buy the token off the market for next to nothing.

[JORD @JordanLesich]

@0xNairolf We thought of something similar.

[Flow State 🦫 @flowstatecoop]

They get it. Culture matters. Incentives matter. Coordination matters.

Take the time to read the whole thing this weekend.

Don't think we can attribute *all* of ETH's recent price action to this release 😏.... but it's bullish Ethereum, @OctantApp, and all of us.

[bread.mega @bread_]

App builders. Please. Fewer clicks/tabs.

I beg.

I woke up this morning thinking: "What the industry really needs to succeed is another conference."

One where all the people who just saw each other at the last conference could see each other again.

One sort of far for most people and in an expensive city, where VC-backed startups could burn precious cash flying a team of BizDev folks to (so they can go to fancy drinks paid for by other VC-backed startups)

One where "pay to play" sponsors are given keynotes to talk their press clippings.

One where other "pay to play" sponsors get to have people appear on panels where everyone agrees on topics there should be a lot of disagreement over.

And one where a bunch of randos and nubes could rudely disrupt @mert to the point of losing the few hairs he has left.

If that doesn't onboard the next 1 billion users, I don't know what will.
