Mining Town is a wild new experiment by @PiccoGabriele: mining mechanics + an AI-simulated world + prediction markets, all merged into one real-time experience on Solana.

You can watch agents play, follow outcomes, and trade beliefs as the world evolves live. Repo is public here https://t.co/PjXrsFnQZk

Quick note on gabriele: he’s Co-Founder & CTO at @magicblock (ex IBM Research), a seriously trusted builder in the Solana ecosystem.
He's followed by Solana and toly too.

We’re spinning up a community around this. If you want to help test, build, or just support, join the community.

STATUS is the first app that turns social media into a living simulation

Status is an AI social-simulation app where you create a persona, post on a fake social network, join fandoms/worlds, and interact with AI characters. Think The Sims + https://t.co/FjDiFj5oJz + TikTok drama/fanfiction.

Google Play shows 1M+ downloads; the App Store has around 147K ratings; YC lists it as having 3M+ users worldwide.

It reportedly raised $17M from strong investors including General Catalyst, Union Square Ventures, Abstract, YC, and others.

That's crazy lore, check here their profiles

Status is "Sims but social media." And it grew to 1M users within 19 days of launching last year. The platform now has more than 5 million user-created characters.

It's an AI-powered social RPG where users can create alternate identities, live inside simulated social worlds, and scroll simulated social feeds.

"Create your persona, join 100s of different fandoms, and watch as you gain your favorite characters as followers, post with them, become famous, or...get cancelled."

Guys, I genuinely think Simon Leviev is one of the most perfect characters for the memecoin world.
He is literally one of the greatest larpers of all time.
Netflix even made a whole documentary about him, The Tinder Swindler, where he basically larped wealth, luxury, jets, cars, and high status to impress rich women and get money out of them, then used that same image to attract more girls.
I messaged him on Instagram and I’m trying to get him to reply on Telegram soon.
I’ll keep you all updated as this develops.

You know that the only time CHUCK NORRIS died in a movie was inside The Way of The Dragon in a fight versus Bruce Lee.

THAT'S CRAZY STUFF:

a hotel staff in Milan fell in love with a Chinese candy 🍬

then he asked a Chinese guest to bring him more

then a tourist filmed him holding a crumpled candy wrapper and posted it

then it went viral on wechat

then Chinese visitors started showing up at the hotel dropping off bags of Peanut Crisp Candy at the front desk

then #HsuFuChi — the actual candy company — found out

then they invited him to visit their factory in Dongguan, China 😭

THAT'S CRAZY LORE

[Shanghai Daily @shanghaidaily]

A hotel staff in #Milan has been invited by Chinese candy company #HsuFuChi to visit its Dongguan factory, after he charmed the internet by asking a Chinese guest to bring more of the brand’s classic New Year candies. It all began when a tourist shared a video of the staff holding a cherished, crumpled candy wrapper. The story went viral, with Chinese visitors now regularly dropping off bags of the popular Peanut Crisp Candy at the hotel's front desk. #Italy #China

Honestly, expanding videos in Grok Imagine is really cool, although to get it right you usually need to go through several iterations.

When it works, though, the results are worth it.

[leroyfive @leroyfive]

we should give the fees to the creator of this new word, @adam__xyz

HENRY, he so-called Fénykövi elephant, tands at the threshold of Ghost Elephants like a museum deity: a colossal Angolan bull turned into a silent relic in the Smithsonian rotunda, proof that giants once moved through the bush.

In Herzog’s story, Steve Boyes becomes obsessed with Henryhis size, his origin, the question of whether a hidden lineage survived, and that fixation drives the expedition back into Angola to chase the “ghost” herd that might still carry his shadow.
