Today @i0xmatan said something that really stuck with me.
To cut the long story short, here’s what he believes:
In a market full of competition, innovation isn’t optional. It’s your gateway to attention. And that attention is what drives adoption, partnerships, and valuation.
And finally he said Improvements can be made
Long read
First if you closely thnk about what currency here isnt $ what it means is in any bull market or even market in general , what’s scarce becomes valuable. In Web3, that’s attention. If people are not talking abt you, they’re talking about someone else.
here’s why this matters even more today
Back in 2017, we had roughly 2,000 tokens. By 2021, that number rose to 20,000+. and our current year 2025? We are talking about millions. Pumpfun alone has lunched about 11m tokens since 2024
Imagine the noise. Imagine trying to stand out in that crowd,trying to be different
This is where he talked about copy pasta strategy not being enough any longer
In the early days, repackaging existing ideas could still stand out because there weren’t many players or people in the game . Now, if you just mix existing great ideas without adding something fresh or your own touch you’ll likely get lost in the noise
innovation is the ultimate attention magnet. When you bring something genuinely new, you bring curiosity, people FOMO, and talk. Thats how you stand out in a world full of noise .
In the end attention matters people are always running from the hard stuff
Does Creativity even exist?
Even if so, is it really needed?
Is copying many great ideas in one huge harmony can be enough?
Going to tag a lot of people here, hope the algorithm won’t hate me
Had a very good idea yesterday on how to leverage @KaitoAI on @katana for @TeaFi_Official domination.
After a strategic fine-tuning with @0x_Ari_ I immediately called the best Kaito-related guys I know, my buddies at @LunarStrategy.
They agreed it’s a great idea and shared with me a project that just did the same thing and that it works amazing for them.
I think they meant to encourage me, but I was very disappointed. Seeing Steve Jobs interviews on creating something new and pioneering the way- It oftentimes feels impossible.
If you want to achieve what was never achieved before- you need to do things no one has done before.
Honest self reflection- we don’t innovate enough imo. This needs to change.
On a call with @Delphi_Digital Research team last week, XiXi, head of APAC told me “attention is the currency on the cycle”
Thinking on it-
2017- 2k tokens
2021- 20k tokens
2025- 2M tokens
You must innovate to stand out imo.
If the creator of c++ says he doesn’t know most of the language , that sometimes he has to look up things online , just like normal programmers code
You just code when get stuck you go to the internet or LLMs to assist
But HTML guys say if you are using AI to code , it’s a sign you don’t know how to code.. that they write code by hand
Na why Una no pass JavaScript
New job alerts for devs 85/hr
Frontend engineers
Backend engineers
iOS developers
New to Mercor : https://t.co/gfw52QeBUH
About the Role
- Mercor is partnering with a leading AI research lab to support a Frontier Code Agents project.
- Contributors help evaluate and improve frontier AI coding models through
structured technical assessments.
- The work focuses on realistic systems engineering workflows and model evaluation.
- Spots are limited and filling quickly on a first come, first serve basis.
What You'll Do
- Use frontier AI coding agents to complete and evaluate complex engineering tasks.
- Review model-generated code, architecture decisions, and systems implementations.
- Identify bugs, edge cases, performance bottlenecks, and failure modes.
- Compare outputs from multiple frontier models and assess their strengths and weaknesses.
- Apply professional engineering judgment to realistic systems engineering scenarios.
Time Commitment
- Sprint based project that runs in 12-24 hour stretches based on client requirement.
Compensation
- $400 per accepted task.
- Typical tasks take approximately 1–3 hours after ramp-up.
- No fixed task limits.
- Compensation is tied to accepted work.
Who Should Apply
- 2+ years of professional systems engineering experience.
- Experience with distributed systems, networking, operating systems, storage systems, infrastructure software, or database internals.
- Regular use of AI coding agents such as Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, or similar tools.
- Ability to evaluate model-generated systems designs and implementations.
- Experience building highly scalable and performance-critical systems is preferred.
People focus on the trillion dollars. Instead focusing on the fact that he built products and companies that changed the world. The money is just the price for being great .
Moral lesson : Add value at scale
