@keiichiban once told me that we imagine the future on a spectrum of "Honest" to "Familiar". If anything is too familiar, we're not being honest. And if we're really honest; it won't be familiar. Often in creation we must start in the middle and work our way towards total truth.
@lukalotl it seems more likely to me that the staffing at Google will be significantly high still but that the nature of the work will become deeply strange in comparison to today.

The entire pre-AI world is ready to be torn down to make way for a new post-AI world order. Good luck :)
@HipCityReg Peer-to-peer computation has made virtual objects real: Bitcoin is purely virtual money, yet worth $2T.
The same breakthrough goes far beyond money: it defines physics, spawns matter, births lifeforms, and grows worlds.
Game, set, match.
I think people will end up treating things in VR more like worlds than games. Worlds don’t need to be updated frequently, they just need a mass of users who keep it feeling alive because the users have great capabilities to shape the world.
The reason why developers lean on updates is because they’re the only ones who can change the game when their game isn’t a world.
To build an autonomous world
you need to be run less like a game studio or a high growth startup
and a lot more like Tether with some ethereum-like community building
a handful of people patching the digital physics, maintaining infra/client, building up a reserve of its digital matter, and growing the number of contributors/community
VR (immersion) and generative models (fidelity) are most suited to absorb time
Cryptography (permanence, laws, scarcity, programmability) is most suited to absorb meaning and consequence
@rob_wasabi We literally can't imagine what Superintelligence is capable of, but it's on the scale of discovering secrets of the universe or defining new fields of science. Zuckerberg is talking about how it could improve Instagram Reels
Dust will be the virtual world where the most absurd/crazy things are happening…
“wtf people made a real bank in there”
“someone uploaded an unstoppable bot”
“there’s an IRL protest around a digital sunflower monopoly”
In 10 years, the US Elections will campaign inside DUST
@altantutar yes, but typically the less the founder says, or has to say, the better. in fact, it would be a good practise for most founders to think more about how to get *people* to onboard each other, and communicate it to each other, than how they can communicate it to them
@altantutar marketing and communication is what people say to each other, not what you say to them. what a founder says *can* be the answer, it’s a very face value and non creative version of it. and the winners you’ve listed won because of people onboarding each other
Capital is a design material
So you should really consider if your product needs it the same way you determine if a feature should make the cut to shipping
