...a pixelated picture of an animal. It's a really strange concept and it's a clear example of why proof-of-work (an abstraction of human labor, which is an antiquated "old world" concept) needs to go.

#NFTs are a local max of human abstract thinking when it comes to valuing goods

NFT art is special due to uniqueness, quirkiness, notion of scarcity (ex: only 1000 "minted"), and the communities that form around them. It's fascinating that they've exploded in a way that...

..so essentially, we're attributing value to these digital tokens that exhibit characteristics of what we have come to know evolutionarily as valuable (e.g. scarcity, time, expected future growth) but in doing so we're also damaging the planet? Trading some c02 for...

@applegreentech @kocienda And make sure it's at 10% battery with a low battery pop up on the screen.

"Code-free" #website builders sit in such an uncanny valley for me. They speed up 80% of the tasks, but the last 20% of customization you need to do takes 80% longer as you figure out how to hack around their limitations

@kocienda I think it really depends on the company (and its structure) + whether the source of the problem is the individual contributors or the leadership. In many cases, it might make more sense to actually fire senior executives rather than your engineers..

@azlenelza Incredible! Black background is part of the input token (a requirement of sorts) or you happened to generate some with that background?

@elonmusk what's the discount on falcon 9 tickets for GAN-created passengers...or algonauts..

Applying my #MachineLearning model to create unique #NFT art. Since #space is the place, figured it'd be cool to send some astronauts out into the #ether. Here's a sneak peak, #15!

@ay_munn NFT...non fishable token?

[Jonny Hurwitz @jonnyhurwitz]

#failure is such a weird concept. When purely professional (vs. personal hardship, etc), it's probably the greatest "proof" of being able to take chances and survive. Can choose to view it as evidence that you have been & will be ok...and try, or let it become crippling fear.
