In May 2022, William Mapan asked me to write about his art for On NFTs by Taschen.
I do not think I have ever felt the imposter syndrome more clearly….

this video from @cobie really hits the mark, especially the part about parents and how we got scammed, not getting to experience their true personalities while growing up.
If you're investing in an asset with a long term target, stick to it, it happens or it doesn't. Be careful adding more variables thinking you can time the market in between. A large majority of us are guilty of this mistake, I included.
Let this person's sacrifice be a lesson.
How do people read this then just... go on with their day as usual?
“25 AI agents inhabit a digital Westworld, unaware that they are living in a simulation. They go to work, gossip, organize socials, make new friends, and even fall in love.”
Here’s a mindblowing example of how autonomous AIs are now, and how ridiculous it is to say that the AIs "only do things we tell them to do”:
POV: you tell the Westworld character “Isabella Rodriguez” to host an entire Valentine’s Day party in two days. This is a complex act, certainly something only humans, and not toasters, can do, right?
- Isabella proceeds to invite friends and customers when she sees them at Hobbs Cafe or elsewhere.
- Isabella then spends the afternoon of the 13th decorating the cafe for the party.
- Maria, a frequent customer and close friend of Isabella’s, arrives at the cafe. Isabella asks for Maria’s help in decorating for the party, and Maria agrees.
- That night, Maria invites Klaus, her secret crush, to join her at the party, and he gladly accepts.
- On Valentine’s Day, five agents, including Klaus and Maria, coordinate to show up for the party together at the right time (5pm), and they enjoy the festivities.
You told Isabella to host a party, but then she - and the other AIs - went and made a million other decisions entirely on their own - things you didn't explicitly tell them to do.
Autonomous AIs are here.
And -- tapping the sign -- this is another example where science fiction is becoming reality, and why “you watch too much sci-fi” is a stupid dunk.
This digital Westworld - “Smallville” - is now open source, meaning there will soon be thousands of these Westworlds, with thousands or millions of autonomous AIs populating them.
Makes you think, doesn’t it?
“Almost as interesting as the 7.8 billion inhabitants of Largeville, (almost) all unaware they are living in a simulation. Each has a unique personality and backstory.” - @Erikbryn
We all talk about the biggest airdrops at the moment ($ARB, $ZKS, $OP) 🪂
But there are smaller ones than could also be really good 👀
And no one talk about them

After Arbitrum, Consensys zkEVM (Linea) might be the next $15,000 airdrop 🪂
They have raised $725M which is bigger than zkSync, and we are still early 👀
