@CommonsStack @tecmns I am interested in Civ-Tech, Non-Profit DAO Models, and small-scale digital Public Administration Networks. @Kernel0x Fellow

If anyone is interested in this topic, I'd love to collaborate with you! I had a great time presenting on this topic, and looking forward to continue building in this direction.

@josephdelong Don't forget your wallets connected apps history.

[natesuits @natesuits]

everyone building the same thing. the government stack of the future replaces forms with prompts, and bundles the admin lifecycle (route, verify, deliver, report, etc.)

but who’s gonna figure out coordination?

who’s building the sync engines of the civic future?

@city_sync_

[Georgios Konstantopoulos @gakonst]

everybody's building the same thing. the IDE of the future replaces code with prompts, file viewer with thread viewer, and turbo bundles the building lifecycles (plan, design, build, deploy, monitor, fix, etc.)

but who's gonna figure out collaboration? do you make every component real-time multiplayer? bullish sync engines.

who's building the sync engines of the agentic future? cf durable objects, partykit, zero etc.

[natesuits @natesuits]

@spengrah @DrNickA Yes! There is a massive design space, and I still can't wrap my head around the fact that we aren't able to coordinate agents within certain verticals around collectively desired outcomes. A lot of it is a lack of knowledge, and the other part is building accessible platforms.

[natesuits @natesuits]

@spengrah @DrNickA I like the definition, but it describes the form, not the mechanisms required to make it sustainable.

We have the ingredients and assume it'll magically work, but it doesn't. Agents coordinate when incentives are designed to align them, and that structured design is missing.

[natesuits @natesuits]

@yanivgraph Agree! And please don’t confuse my qualms about our adoption of meritocracy with my desire for it to be real.

Meritocracy should be the goal, and you’re right, public infrastructure is the only pathway to make it happen.

Digital Identity is key to a lot of really promising functionality in the digital world, but also the source of a lot of dystopian control.

Is there a solution that doesn't involve capturing eyeballs or prints that can provide the same guarantees?

[natesuits @natesuits]

@binji_x @borkodotfun True, but I think he is correct, that most people will prefer to trust in centralized institutions over decentralized infrastructure.

The idea of “sanctuary technology” or technology that serves as a backstop to the failures of the former is the true state of decentralized tech.

[natesuits @natesuits]

@sacha My nickels and dimes beg to differ.

[natesuits @natesuits]

@post_polar_ I’m actually a big fan of the Second Foundation (and Third, Fourth, etc.) idea.

IMO, it’s not really about direction, but cultivating the brain trust of the entire social stack that Ethereum has fostered over the years to create conflict oriented consensus.

For those of you who are interested, you can now keep up with @city_sync_ progress as we begin to enter the pilot phase through our new @karmahq_ profile!

@city_sync_ — The City/Sync organizations is responsible for developing, educating, and researching the effective implementation of decentralized public administration frameworks in different cities around the world.

We believe that decentralized public administration is the key to bringing power back to the hands of citizens by giving them the tools to become self-reliant. https://t.co/XyEw2dxY3I

[Karma @karmahq_]

@city_sync_ kept the City/Sync push moving: Version 1.0 of the web app is nearly ready, pilot cities are lining up in Mexico City and Berkeley, and the project made the top 300 in QBE AcceliCITY. https://t.co/7TY2BvmKCZ

Sometimes, when operating in the field of emerging technology, you run into regulations and policies that limit our imagination toward something better.

When it comes to coordination, the laws around volunteers and incentives need to be challenged.

@llamaonthebrink @NTmoney Sorry! Wasn’t trying to imply you were!

It’s an important topic looking at it in hindsight. Makes sense that programmable $ would be engineered to max returns for capital providers. I wonder if any of those projects would have done it differently if they didn’t need the funding.

[natesuits @natesuits]

@llamaonthebrink @NTmoney I wouldn’t be so quick to defend VC’s.

They have a mandate, but that mandate should have also included a desire to protect consumers. If they did, ICO’s may have persisted.

But they funded anything that launched a token, and most of it was scammers using forked contracts.

[natesuits @natesuits]

CT can’t have real conversations anymore. Every design is judged against a list of cypherpunk purity tests, instead of the actual use-case it’s trying to serve.

Different contexts require different tradeoffs but we’d rather argue ideology than build things people actually need.

[natesuits @natesuits]

@lex_node Doesn't this whole lawsuit hinge on proving without a doubt that those responsible for the hack was in fact the DPRK? I would think that this would be harder to prove than people think.

And this should probably be the angle that Arbitrum takes in this lawsuit.
