Okay here’s a fun one.
My pregnant wife got laid off by Indeed back in December.
So (out of spite), I spent a few months building @dreamworkhq on the side: a job search platform for tech workers that does the right AI stuff at the right time, and doesn’t butcher your chances.
I posted the vengeance story on Reddit and it got 90,000 views in 48 hours.
The biggest feedback was simple: people are hurting, and paid job search tools are hard to justify right now.
So I made the standard plan free.
Side project built out of spite. Now we’re going to have our team actually focus on it.
Strange times.
Let me explain what just happened, because I don’t think people realize how INSANE this is.
> Cortical Labs put 200,000 real human brain cells onto a silicon chip and trained them to play Doom in just one week.
> Each CL1 system costs $35,000.
> A rack of 30 units consumes only 850–1,000 watts combined.
> The human brain operates on 20 watts.
> Large AI training clusters burn through megawatts.
>Backed by In-Q-Tel.
115 units began shipping in 2025.
> Cortical Labs is selling “Wetware as a Service” through Cortical Cloud, letting developers deploy code remotely to living human neurons with no lab required,
> priced like a software subscription but powered by real brain cells grown from adult skin and blood samples.
> it isn’t about gaming, it’s about biological computing that could eventually outperform traditional silicon in energy efficiency and adaptability.
This is getting really scary and we’re still at the very beginning.
We've launched our major upgrade of @zora and are introducing the world's attention market.
The core iteration is going from Creators → Trends. We still use our pairing model, but instead of only allowing the creator to pair, we open it up to the entire market.
Trends are paired with $zora and can create new pairs under a trend.
Memecoins are proving to be an incredible realtime aggregator of what's happening in the world, we are putting forward this new structure to see if we can unlock trading of longer term trends and use the market to aggregate what is happening on a particular trend instead of constantly PVPing.
Other notable details:
1. Trend tickers are protocol enforced unique to provide more structure and reduce PVP at this level.
2. Trends cost 1 SOL to deploy to disincentivize spam and have 0 creator rewards.
3. Pairs do have creator rewards and creating a new one is as simple as pasting a link.
4. This is launched on our own vertically integrated dex on Solana so we can continue to iterate at speed and create the most efficient attention markets in the world.
5. The existing creators product still operates and will continue to operate.
New era unlocked and excited to keep iterating and learning.
We're making the Base app the best place to trade onchain.
Starting today, the feed will focus entirely on tradable assets. This means we're removing the Talk feed in favor of a feed of onchain activity.
As part of this shift, we're also sunsetting Creator Rewards. In the last six months, we've paid out over $450k to 17k creators. The program will wrap on Feb 15th, with final payouts on Feb 18th. We're grateful for all the creators who helped us build so far, and will be sharing new ways we'll reward the Base App community soon.
We're just getting started building the best trading experience onchain.
I'm thrilled to announce that I'm joining @tempo!
Stablecoins are a generational opportunity and I'm excited to work with @matthuang, @gakonst and the rest of the team to make them mainstream.
Lesson: During crypto hype cycles, money flows to people capturing the idea space first, not shipping the best product.
If people associate the idea space with mega-scale potential (i.e., creating new economies) and you create the right Twitter account, real usage doesn’t matter.

The interesting part of the narrative now is that agents are earning real fees. Everyone has been waiting for a real world test of what 10,000 agents with real money will do. We shall see.
Mom, Dad, I hope you're not reading this...
But I just TWAPed for the first time ever.
Took me literally 2 minutes on bankr terminal to sign in, understand, and execute. Dangerously easy.
This a powerful modular complement to the @bankrbot I know and love in-feed.
