@NateGio @gavinpurcell I think most ppl want it all served on a platter, which is what separates content from art.

Haven’t tried it but apparently severance is p good with black screen audio reference mp4s + prompt (prolly with start/end frames)

Friend Tech has been tried a dozen times or more.

It always fails.

~2 years ago it happened on Solana — I bought shares in @levicook and Becca (lol). It was pretty popular for a few months.

More recent examples include: Rally, Bitclout, Wumbo, and more. Each time, influencers pump their tokens, each others tokens, then dump them — or get dumped on if they're sunk into propping up the price.

Wumbo — created by @redacted_noah and the Strata team, had collective bounties, gated chatrooms, & more.

————————————————————

Fundamentally, tokenizing people is a bad move for multiple reasons:

1. Financializing your friends is bad.

Reducing humans to commodities doesn't really work. The pressure on people to maintain a speculative token of their likeness leads to stress, anxiety, and burnout.

2. Most legitimate projects can't survive tokenization, let alone individuals:

Why would influencers be able to handle it? (surprise, they aren't able to, historically speaking)

3. Friend Tech's price curve is supply squared:

Exponential up, great for social boom and euphoria, max pain on the way down, in other words, optimized for pump n dump. For context, Wumbo was linear.

4. Vanity tokens are self-serving:

Most people with some modicum of self-respect don't want people to buy a token in their likeness.

————————————————————

Its a quick way for influencers to make a quick buck on you but that's about it.

Its been tried, its always failed.

On the flip-side, to some extent, these types of experiments are worth having for building stickier products in the future (that aren't friend-tech).

Just don't ape assuming its going to go anywhere long term.

Thanks to @redacted_noah for the experience/info.

@gavinpurcell that said, people listen to mp3 files, so, there is a "good enough" bar

that said, a tool like this or Suno is very useful for a quick prototype/inspiration

@gavinpurcell gonna be awhile before agentic audio is as convincing as agentic video

we hear 10 octaves of audio

but we only see about 1 octave of light ("perfect" audio needs 10x more info than video), and the amount of data is sort of exponential
