As I mentioned several years ago, it increasingly appears that humanity is a biological bootloader for digital superintelligence

[hally9k @hally9k]

@leojrr Vibe coding kind of works, vibe ops - not so much.

[hally9k @hally9k]

Spicy take 🌶️

DevOps and infra engineers are, to the internet, what switch board operators were to old school telephony.

They won't exist in the near future.

This is where we are building right now. Tayga. 🤫

🚀 We Did It! Rilla Network Has Secured $3.5M in Pre-Seed Funding 🚀

Raising capital in today’s economic climate is no small feat, but we’re thrilled to announce that Rilla Network has successfully closed a US$3.5 million pre-seed funding round! 🎉
This isn’t just a financial milestone for us—it’s a testament to the power of sticking to our values. In a landscape dominated by quick wins and superficial tech trends, we focused on aligning with investors who share our belief in a decentralized, open, and equitable Internet.

At Rilla Network, we’re not just building technology; we’re unleashing the true potential of the Internet—one that is public, auditable, and empowers everyone.

This funding allows us to continue our mission to rewire the content economy and bring sports broadcasters into the next generation of live digital experiences.

Together, we can Unleash OUR Internet. 🌐

How most of my conversations at crypto events go:

them: I'm a VC, building out [big fund]'s crypto/web3 portfolio. what about you?

me: I'm working on web3 projects whose goals are to build alternative institutions that will replace capitalism.

them: ...oh, well then...

[hally9k @hally9k]

@marisa_rando This!!!

[hally9k @hally9k]

@Mehmet2057340 🤦‍♂️

[hally9k @hally9k]

Talking with crypto VCs is such a roller coaster, one meeting people just want to pump the token and I'm feeling so frustrated, next meeting they totally get that decentralised technology can take whole industries (and ultimately humanity) to the next level and I'm feeling pumped again.
I wish there was a simple way to telegraph what @RillaNetwork is all about up front and avoid the misalignment of values.
Note to self: Add a very explicit "Values" slide to our intro deck...

[hally9k @hally9k]

The future of content is LIVE and interactive.
LIVE streamed, LIVE promoted with LIVE ad targeting and LIVE commerce.

This evolution is currently economically inhibited by centralised web2 infrastructure and architectures. Reference the Amazon Twitch dynamic as an example - They still aren’t profitable, ever wondered why?

@RillaNetwork leverages the core underlying nature of the web1 internet, decentralising live-streaming infrastructure and launching the live content industry into the web3 era.

The internet is decentralised, beautiful and unstoppable. Don’t fight it.

[hally9k @hally9k]

For me the most profound thing about the emergence of NFTs was seeing >90% of the value being generated by artists actually going to those artists and their communities. No middle men, no agents, no skimmers.

That. Was. Profound.

Rilla Network aims to do this for live streamed content.

Rilla’s crux metric: The % of value generated by creators being distributed directly to those creators and their communities.

🎯

[hally9k @hally9k]
