people who leverage AI for their work very actively is still very few in this world. and honestly world really is not ready for this. it's all converging towards "creation at the speed of thoughts." most tools will likely become obsolete, but I am still bullish on human to human conversation. what would people even do when they don't need to do anything? drilling down to the foundational instincts can be a good ground to form something around is my thinking. https://www.citriniresearch.com/p/2028gic

I was gonna pay for a couple saas tools to play with AI character consistency flow, but then I asked Claude code to create a local tool that allows me to do it. I came back to my seat, and it one shotted the best tool I truly needed - character held hyper consistent in the output. crazy af.

a good filter I could make use of on my feed: filter all negative posts. just don't need to touch any.

quality of writing is proportional to people’s tolerance for length of it. incredible point written as a one page blog post = very tolerable. gibberish where a couple sentence in you have no idea wtf they are blabbering? what is the point of the length? people won’t read to the bottom of it

someone should name the turing test 2.0 @grace test. when in doubt, ask them 2994748 x 29474.

smoler

people say premature coin launches kill products, and i call bullshit on that. fact: those were products that were gonna die anyway but the coins killed it faster why? coin price action quantifies how much the product sucks to the founders real time, and ~no founder as a mortal being can be completely immune to it. there is still a chance for a product somewhere in the future that thrive into the league of mainstream products line slack and instagram, but that is because the people fuck with the products even in absence of coins. there is really no counter to it. this is just the truth truer than truth itself. period.

tbh i want farcaster to do well. not under some pretentious holy ivory tower reason, but from the selfish motivation of having established a good network of builders traders creators yappers here. if it were to floor, that whole network is gone. just really want it to work out. what is corny is: - support it no matter what because we stick together - amplify on social media what is real is: - product/gtm evolution in a very different and untried direction

if it were up to me, this is how i’d have base orchestrate the batch of builders they may want to eventually want to push towards app coin directions: 1. rigorously curate doxxed founders like yc style 2. normalize pivots but make the record transparent i don’t believe in app coins much with very few exceptions where the coins are part of the product, beyond just buying spending it as currency. IPO is there for a reason. imagine if anyone with a business card and no kyc IPO’ing. we shit on existing infra in pursuit of drastic idealism on the crypto side of the table, but a chunk of wolf of wallstreet is actually the state of app coins. entice quixotic degens full of hope to ape into an “idea with a business card” then pull that money from the poor souls’ pocket into theirs. there is no shortcut to pmf. name one app that reached pmf in crypto land BECAUSE of the coin. simulate a micro IPO structure. not just by code, but with a public push for the stage where real builders stay locked in without seeking shady shortcuts.

start a cult that sticks together even without a coin.

even paying existing communities with high retention to just one tap create a client, would help a lot. engineering retention from scratch with sporadic influx of individual users is mission impossible 69 these days. lean into farcaster’s original vision and aim to onboard 1 community that retains as the example to scale to more. i don’t mean fleeting communities like 99.99% of coins. most coins die overnight so “community” is fake with them. religious groups, spiritual gatherings, the types of groups who will go through helm and back for their existing community to stick together even harder. again idk the details. meta yapping over coffee

me: *yaps about _______ bot: true. _______ is essential for growth mindset. if you persevere, glory will be yours. to the mooon me:

farcaster should collab with real cult leaders. cult level commitment to a dedicated online space. or even social networks for individual churches. identify groups that already have radical level of retention and just build everything for them. given the core pillar of farcaster being composability and fluidity of community formation, there are no examples of community that retain hard. even one client getting above average retention would be a much better signal than fleering dau rise. farcaster should grow less like X which is a global cluster in one app, but more like modular discord communities. idk the details. not my job. but X has won their war on the form factor, and threads chasing very close among true. one tap client as an app you can call your own - honestly think that is the only way tackling the top of the funnel

last 2% just takes forever

so many people can talk the talk, but when it comes to walk the walk, you notice that talkers get real quiet. walkers still walk fumble and fuck up, roll in the shit, but at least they got off their seats.
