I just released an all-in-one tool that lets you extract textures from any perspective, turn them into seamless textures, and use them on your 3D models.

ROCK is now open source.

6 months in the making. a programmable runtime for Lua-scripted multiplayer worlds, inspired by SA-MP gamemodes.

build presence, reactive events, Farcaster-connected experiences, and tiny virtual spaces.

[pics or it didn't happen @poidhxyz]

if there was any doubt that @farcaster_xyz was relevant in 2026 crypto, the answer is clearly an astounding YES

for finding real genuine users for your app organically, there's no substitute

and for users, the Farcaster app leads the pack for super smooth crypto UX

I like blockchain tech quite a bit because it extends open source to open source+state, a genuine/exciting innovation in computing paradigms. I'm just sad and struggle to get over it coming packaged with so much braindead bs (get rich quick pumps/dumps/scams/spams/memes etc.). Ew

global crypto anon culture the last frontier

[peach @33b345]

the very recent phase of gen z 90’s anemoia, nostalgia for a time they didn’t live - vicariously experiencing parts of their own condition, currently stifled by converging blandscape limitations, through the lens of this apparent sweet spot - is a symptom of repressed capacity

Fuck your ai here is some real handmade chrome typography

[ruburi @rubyuroboros]

yeah let's just automate it from both sides to make sure that two ai agents will match each other's sentiments or fool each other with clever prompts, instead of two humans simply having a casual convo and seeking a mutual aura. hiring was broken. now it's falling apart

[ℏεsam @Hesamation]

bro created an AI job search system for Claude Code that scored 700+ job applications and actually got him a job.

AND IT'S NOW OPEN-SOURCE.

It scans multiple company career pages, rewrites your CV per job, and even fills application forms. The repo has:
> 14 skill modes (evaluate, scan, PDF, ...)
> Go terminal dashboard
> ATS-optimized PDF generation via Playwright
> 45+ companies pre-configured (Anthropic, OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Stripe...)

@joshqharris @Mariandipietra well, at least claims on those takes were too harsh. like what do you mean it's hard to be bullish on something like this or like when you promote ai and stuff. you just started huh it's ok to make some mistakes

[ruburi @rubyuroboros]

@joshqharris @Mariandipietra bro the amount of hate backed by thin air is like overwhelming here. because i saw about 10 takes based on nothing on x. pixie team has done a great work. keep it up.

How I would do creator coins

We've seen about 10 years of people trying to do content incentivization in crypto, from early-stage platforms like Bihu and Steemit, to BitClout in 2021, to Zora, to tipping features inside of decentralized social, and more. So far, I think we have not been very successful, and I think this is because the problem is fundamentally hard.

First, my view of what the problem is. A major difference between doing "creator incentives" in the 00s vs doing them today, is that in the 00s, a primary problem was having not enough content at all. In the 20s, there's plenty of content, AI can generate an entire metaverse full of it for like $10. The problem is quality. And so your goal is not *incentivizing content*, it's *surfacing good content*.

Personally, I think that the most successful example of creator incentives we've seen is Substack. To see why, take a look at the top 10:

https://t.co/duaCaGNYXp
https://t.co/y1F9Td0Y52
https://t.co/xEMt8pIK74

Now, you may disagree with many of these authors. But I have no doubt that:

1. They are on the whole high quality, and contribute positively to the discussion
2. They are mostly people who would not have been elevated without Substack's presence

So Substack is genuinely surfacing high quality and pluralism.

Now, we can compare to creator coin projects. I don't want to pick on a single one, because I think there's a failure mode of the entire category.

For example:

Top Zora creator coins: https://t.co/238cqf2bX1

BitClout: https://t.co/0jVmotkpFw

Basically, the top 10 are people who already have very high social status, and who are often impressive but primarily for reasons other than the content they create.

At the core, Substack is a simple subscription service: you pay $N per month, and you get to see the person's articles. But a big part of Substack's success is that they did not just set the mechanism and forget. Their launch process was very hands-on, deliberately seeding the platform with high-quality creators, based on a very particular vision of what kind of high-quality intellectual environment they wanted to foster, including giving selected people revenue guarantees.

So now, let's get to one idea that I think could work (of course, coming up with new ideas is inherently a more speculative project than criticizing existing ones, and more prone to error).

Create a DAO, that is *not* token-based. Instead, the inspiration should be Protocol Guild: there are N members, and they can (anonymously) vote new members in and out. If N gets above ~200, consider auto-splitting it.

Importantly, do _not_ try to make the DAO universal or even industry-wide. Instead, embrace the opinionatedness. Be okay with having a dominant type of content (long-form writing, music, short-form video, long-form video, fiction, educational...), and be okay with having a dominant style (eg. country or region of origin, political viewpoint, if within crypto which projects you're most friendly to...). Hand-pick the initial membership set, in order to maximize its alignment with the desired style.

The goal is to have a group that is larger than one creator and can accumulate a public brand and collectively bargain to seek revenue opportunities, but at the same time small enough that internal governance is tractable.

Now, here is where the tokens come in. In general, one of my hypotheses this decade is that a large portion of effective governance mechanisms will all have the form factor of "large number of people and bots participating in a prediction market, with the output oracle being a diverse set of people optimized for mission alignment and capture resistance". In this case, what we do is: anyone can become a creator and create a creator coin, and then, if they get admitted to a creator DAO, a portion of their proceeds from the DAO are used to burn their creator coins.

This way, the token speculators are NOT participating in a recursive-speculation attention game backed only by itself. Instead, they are specifically being predictors of what new creators the high-value creator DAOs will be willing to accept. At the same time, they also provide a valuable service to the creator DAOs: they are helping surface promising creators for the DAOs to choose from.

So the ultimate decider of who rises and falls is not speculators, but high-value content creators (we make the assumption that good creators are also good judges of quality, which seems often true). Individual speculators can stay in the game and thrive to the extent that they do a good job of predicting the creator DAOs' actions.

Finally non-programmers are leaving the Software Engineering space by becoming "vibe coders". The Software Engineers can now work in peace while those parasites are destroying the codebases of the Big Tech companies. The cancer industry cannibalizing itself. The future is bright.
