Big day for us at @cryptoslamio!
CryptoSlam, Inc is now Ethoswarm, Inc.
(Don't worry, the https://t.co/B49894jySU platform isn't going anywhere. We're still here.)
A massive civilization of AI Minds is coming. We built it. It's going to be awesome.
You already know us as the team at @cryptoslamio, who built the world's first and most comprehensive NFT data platform.
But as of now, our company name is officially Ethoswarm, Inc.
The name change reflects our deep conviction in this agentic civilization.
Minds use and need the blockchain.
Their human stewards probably don't.
- Minds self-improve.
- They remember.
- They act autonomously.
They can also earn on their own while they save you time, entertain you, and build for you.
The only limit is your imagination.
This is just the beginning.
Awaken your first Mind at https://t.co/zvz478YaKq... it's free to start!

Check out the post below to see why things are just getting started. 👇
.@ronnychieng speech isn’t anti‑AI. It was a great talk filled with jokes, satire and wisdom. In the fervor of getting the headline many media outlets missed the point. His true message of living with purpose, anti‑bullshit and dehumanization was broadly missed as the headlines focused on his f*** and hate AI comment but what he was really saying is that he is against greed, fake status and extractive institutions.
“Destroy these machines” means don’t let powerful systems (tech, media, elite incentives) run your life or values.
The message to the @Harvard graduates is: you are the ones with advantage, the powerful and you will be rewarded for doing harmful, shallow and extractive things act with consciousness and choose to be different.
Be weird and real.
Treat failure as data.
Use your power to help people, not just to win the game.
Be grateful and kind because you are here because someone helped you get there.
Be a good and helpful human.
It's worth listening to the whole talk not just the headline sound bites that miss the actually interesting bits. Great commencement speech and kudos to @Harvard for something different yet powerful and meaningful.

in an effort for OGs to get preferential access to limited drops
we're going to put weights on this raffle
what you hold should matter, and hold time should matter
bayc will get more weight than mayc
"time held" will get a lot of weight
bakc will get some weight too
ex:
a mutant held for 5 years should get the same weight as a bayc that's been holding for a week
we'll do this by having people sign in with their glyph wallet for the raffle - more on this in the next few days - but kinda like the arsham drop
this is more complicated so we might have to ship top of next week. it'll be productized so we can do this for future limited drops
collectors collect
bored ape yacht club
Still just the first inning for us.
Already @Ethoswarm is #3 in Roleplay, #4 in Entertainment, #5 in Productivity, #5 in Personal Agents, and #18 on the Global Rankings on @OpenRouter.
Watch what comes next.
Luca Netz, the hero we deserve, but not the one we need right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A Retard. https://t.co/fweZ2JepE0
“AI art has to move from how it looks, to what it means, to how it feels.”
→ Written by curator, @gallegosfer
Art made with AI as a tool is in a stage in which it’s getting serious attention from some sectors of the artworld, but if it’s actually is getting somewhere, artists have to understand the difference between how it looks, what it means and how it feels.
Most times when a new technology arrives that allows artists to try new ways of creating, people put their attention mostly in the way things look, as if looking for new weird things to show, things that we haven’t seen before, a “new look”, in a stage of the medium that usually doesn’t last long. The explanation for the shortness of this first stage is simple: we look at art for things that we already know, we don’t want art to tell us how we should live, we look at art to understand better the things we already know.
When we look at these novel outputs there’s a disconnection between what we see and how it feels, the reality is that we don’t know how to feel other than confused, and even if at first it’s entertaining, eventually it becomes tiring, we don’t want to please the artist, we want to have a conversation with the art, and in every kind of conversation both the sender and receiver of the message have to be able to “feel it”. But before arriving to the definitive stage that is making art for how it feels, there’s another stage in the development of the medium: making art for what it means.
The age of institutions in art produced a world in which art was made to “mean”. Conceptual art responds most times to this logic, the logic of making a piece of art that should be decodified to find it’s meaning. This kind of art is sometimes thought of as overly complicated and “elitist”, but I like to describe it as an intellectual game not unlike the act of solving a crossword. People went to the museum because they wanted to get involved in the game, they wanted to see art and think about its possible meaning, and this game activated different possible readings in an activity that was used by the artist as a tool for creating an aesthetic reaction.
Conceptual art can be smart and interesting but sometimes dumb and boring, as any other kind of art, its “faults” are not in the technique but in the fact that it’s not easily readable by the ones that are not used to critical thinking and high introspection, and that’s the reason people sometimes think of this kind of contemporary art as “elitist”, because it’s not easily enjoyable by the casual viewer. This is the stage in which AI seems to be getting to, making work that means something else, which makes viewers confused as to what they are seeing and why.
And this takes us to the final point of this text, making art for how it feels, which is the stage that I’m looking forward to in AI art. Not that we haven’t seen some good examples of this in AI art, but it’s not what you usually see. For us to start making art for what it feels, using AI we have to understand the places where our need for the technology actually exists, the ways we interact with it and the ways the technology is already a part of our lives. The tool has to be used to speak about the ways the tool is already a part of our lives in a way that when we see the art our previous experience resonates with what we see.
When that stage of AI art arrives we will feel it as a natural part of our lives and the general reaction will be one that will make us say “yes, I know what you mean”, instead of the strange separation between the artists and the audience that we have now, in which a casual viewer feels alienated for not being a “tech nerd”.
