Welcome to Sun RAEs, a blog series dedicated to creating a learning experience for our audience via the exploration of creativity, life, technology, and gamification.ContentsThis week’s AI DrawingWeekly Random Acts of Evolution - Moments meant to focus on personal growthBetween Space and Time - Tech ExplorationAesthetics of the Week - A few creative ideas we’ve seen for the weekChaotic Explorations - Useful Links of the weekGentei Kaijo - Featured A.I.

My baby mama and my daughter gettin' chased by my son. My mama landing in a helicopter.” - Tyler the Creator Weekly Random Acts of EvolutionThis week’s act of evolution comes again from the conversation between Joey Badass and 19Keys that came out last week. Previously, we covered the plant analogy shared by Joey but this time we wanted to highlight the conversation of “Abundance Mindstate” shared between the two at the 1 hour and 53 min mark. Joey highlights how he lives in a mindstate where there is an infinite amount of opportunity and Keys describes it as a trust fund relationship with God where different rewards will be unlocked upon reaching different levels of ascension. I live by this concept as well on a daily basis as I feel there is a daily desire to check boxes and complete my goals. By doing so, the emotion of accomplishment alone is proof that I will be unlocking more value and opportunity in the future.Between Space and TimeThis week’s tech topic is Mass adoption of Web 3 and one of the key hindrances to date. Wallets!!! It is hard enough for people to remember their password, so I know we are not about do 12-word seed phrase for some “fake” money and jpegs. This is the audience that needs to be convinced. So how can it be made more easier to onboard the massess. Well, luckily services like a Cross Mint and Magic can solve this with Email/Custodial Wallets. Non-Custodial wallets are the safest route to go but from an onboarding standpoint (especially for NFTs), bringing your customes into a custodial situation where they can offramp later (as they wish) is also option. This eliminates the apprehension upfront of having to deal with scary passwords and weird addresses (as I have been told). Check out a sample scenario from Magic below. With this option, we can bring some of the following use cases to life quickly:NFT Claims via QR CodesPhygital ProductsIn-app digital certificates for physical productsWeb 3 Loyalty ( a deeper topic we’ll cover on another day)Issue tickets, discounts, etc.The point to get them into the door and start their journey. These options make it feasible for a wider audience and then you grow from there. We’ll cover the growing part when we get into Web 3 Loyalty next week.Aesthetics of the weekThis week I spent some time taking Touch Designer for a spin. Touch Designer uses programmatic nodes to create generative art. Using some art from a project that I am working on, I was able to create the below following this tutorial. The entire video is in Korean so it took a bit to follow but I definitely love the outcome of what I was able to produce.40Seventh.eth (🐧, 🐅) @Sidetrackd_ Preview of something to come! 6:14 AM ∙ Apr 2, 2023Chaotic ExplorationsMore AI for your headtops. Need help ideating and creating a mind map, Whimsical AI has the solution for you! Imagine having an idea for an app and then using Whimsical to help map out the features of the application. This is game-changing for brainstorming sessions. I am definitely a fan!Gentei KaijouThis week we have a newcomer to the Gentei Kaijou series, DA LAMA himself. We went to the movies this weekend to see the 4th installation of John Wick. Such a dope movie series but the DA LAMA had some thoughts to share on how Wick could handle his anger.Words from DA LAMA “Dear John, I understand that you have faced a great deal of pain and suffering in your life, and that you have been driven to seek revenge for the injustices that have been inflicted upon you. However, as a Buddhist monk, I would like to offer you an alternative perspective on your situation. Violence begets violence, and while revenge may offer temporary satisfaction, it ultimately leads to more suffering for both yourself and others. Instead, I would encourage you to seek a path of peace and forgiveness. Forgiveness does not mean condoning the actions of those who have hurt you. Rather, it means letting go of the anger and resentment that has been holding you back, and moving forward with a sense of compassion and understanding for yourself and others. I would also encourage you to reflect on the impermanence of all things, and to recognize that the cycle of violence and revenge is ultimately futile. Instead, focus on cultivating positive qualities such as kindness, generosity, and patience, which will bring you and those around you true and lasting happiness. I know that this may be a difficult path to take, but I believe that it is the right one. May you find peace and contentment on your journey.”Clumsy King Dropping Gems40Seventh.eth (🐧, 🐅) @Sidetrackd_ Shit is a marathon, we just not running on tracks #EvolveDaily 8:35 PM ∙ Mar 27, 2023Chaotic VibrationsAnother track that has snuck up on me this week. Tyler the Creator drops a surprise album, The Estate Sale, a deluxe version of his 2021 release of “Call Me If You Get Lost”. Specifically, Dogtooth has stood out to me. Check it out below. Enjoy!
