@PPLSOPTIMISMCEO Can you describe which link you see between gpt5 and worldcoin?
I thought over it and cannot find any good reason why those projects should be linked (soon). Would be curious about your thoughts or any further sources for reference.

10 thoughts on incentives:

1. Don't ask your barber if you need a haircut.

2. "I can fix the $32 trillion US debt problem in 5 minutes. You pass a law that when there’s a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members congress are ineligible for re-election” - Warren Buffett

3. 33% of British criminals were dying en route to Australia in the 1700s.

Britain switched from paying sea captains for every passenger who walked on the ship to paying them for every passenger who walked off.

Immediately, the survival rate shot up to 99%.

4. “Never attribute to conspiracy what is more easily explained by incentives and incompetence.” - @naval

5. “If you reward profits alone, it’s the dumbest thing you could do. Employees will quit advertising and start shrinking the business” - Buffett

6. If video games teach us one thing: If you want to motivate humans, frequent rewards are more addicting than one-off rewards.

7. “I think I've been in the top 5% of my age cohort all my life in understanding the power of incentives, and all my life I've underestimated it. And never a year passes but I get some surprise that pushes my limit a little farther." - Munger

8. If the person tells you why their city, relationship, or job is great - take it with a pinch of salt.

If they tell you why it's terrible - take it like a handful of gold.

If someone swims upstream against their identity or incentives, it probably holds some deep truth to it.

9. "Incentives are like magnets. An invisible but powerful pull." - @awilkinson

10. Skinner's Law:

If procrastinating, 2 ways to solve it:

Option 1 - Make the pain of inaction > Pain of action

Option 2 - Make the pleasure of action > Pleasure of inaction

The person with a gun to their head or crack cocaine at the finish line doesn't need motivation.

Natural gas prices in Europe turned negative. Storage is at full capacity. EU panic-bought gas like it was toilet paper during a pandemic. Now tankers are queuing outside Spain & France filled with more gas and no one to buy it.

My brain exploded after reading this new Nike patent released just a couple weeks ago

I'm convinced that @RTFKT's CryptoKicks skin vial technology is going to be a complete gamechanger for the NFT space

Let me make my stance on #bitcoin crystal clear. It is three types of utilities in my book:
NUMBER 1: PAYMENTS
Quite irrelevant today. Probably less than 5% of all purchase power uses BTC for that utility. I don't see this change much over the next years.

First step to connect $DFI to the DeFi world outside of defichain. Promising to bring more users to one of the most secure DeFi protocols out there.

[DeFiChain @defichain]

The DeFiChain Bridge is live!

It is an easy and non-custodial peer-to-peer system that allows for using native DeFiChain assets on other blockchains.

15k $DFI/ $BNB are already in the Pancake Swap liquidity pool. There are great arbitrage possibilities!

BAYC starting to get mainstream - to our teens.

[ShaqPunk @ShaqPunk]

Wow. I was just at our local mall (suburban East Coast US) and I noticed @BoredApeYC shirts (Zumiez collab) at Diamond Supply Co. I’m in my early 50s, so not a place I’d usually be shopping. There was a group of 4 or 5 guys in their late teens looking through them. 1/5

[SΞHΞ @SebHerbst]

One of the first, I would say THE first museum of nft art in the Metaverse. Just WOW 🤩

Enjoy

@heyteo_ @AzukiOfficial Moonbirds. Didn’t like the art, 2.5ETH, no roadmap. Didn’t even research the team behind it. Fail 😅

[SΞHΞ @SebHerbst]

@DanielZirkel @DFIblock1430640 Thanks 🙏

@julianhosp In a Team: A principle to enhance team perf. by having people with different values, skills and personalities.
In public debate: A principle whose subj. interpretation can never be reached to everybody’s acceptance.
I prefer: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”

[Yishan @yishan]

I've now been asked multiple times for my take on Elon's offer for Twitter.

So fine, this is what I think about that. I will assume the takeover succeeds, and he takes Twitter private. (I have little knowledge/insight into how actual takeover battles work or play out)

[kmoney @kmoney]

pov: you’re asking an nft artist for “utility”.

[SΞHΞ @SebHerbst]

@WhaleShark_Pro I would add that truth may be a function of subjective values. Depending on what level of abstraction one is arguing there might not be THE truth -> not always objective.
