There is design space at the intersection of channels + clanker + apps. Something between party and daos and dark/light forests. Build together, invest together. The culture is not one of collaboration, but it's clear to me that's the only path to the next level. There are and have been a plethora of orgs on Farcaster that could be reimagined with tokens. However, the moment you ask what the tokens "would do" is the moment things fall apart. They are, above all else, distribution and coordination (incentive) mechanisms. Forget the mcap. Forget the fees. Assume 0 financial value.

Gave up on agent 1 rip. Lots of fun stuff with openclaw. Probably fine for basic use cases. Telegram chat was dope! But it's so janky and burned a lot of time. Better off automating Claude code for the time being. V valuable practice regardless

Prototype to illustrate thinking on membership-based channels. Fwiw this effectively brings the channel to TBA. Remove interactions for a read-only feed anywhere on the web.

Test

Channels are feeds! The hashtag comp is v helpful; consider channels in discord. An exercise I hadn't considered until recently is to bundle channels via (mini)app/site. Channel-specific clients aren't a new idea, but I could see more of these given ai coding. Gonna try something with @neynarai

We will continue to talk about channels

should clarify, "my agent" is not necessarily the agent i'm working on, and it very well could be agents (plural). the point is that we have the opportunity to impart these things with our wisdom and memory as opposed to simply using them to expedite. tbh the one i'm working on now might be on the chopping block

Curate more than you consume

ok let's get weird. currency is a store of memory. if i make an agent for $oETH, it has the potential to both produce and store memory "for" the token

memory machines™️

i'm starting to think of my agent as part of my legacy. in the same way we think of children, we should recognize the agents we create could potentially outlive us. it's all about memory.

i wish everyone could more safely and easily experience openclaw. it's not easy to work with. i suspect if anthropic or openai were to make pro/consumer grade 'personal assistants', they'd be "too" general-purposed. the magic is in spending time crafting the "brain", the file systems, knowledge base, skills, etc

my favorite thing to say to agents is "catch my drift?" there are more structured ways to communicate the request to "fill in the gaps", but the vibe-chaos tradeoff is worth it for the a more zoomed-out perspective

Almost done 😌

agent is learning. at some point when it's in public I'll have to decide: let people think bad things about AI art and keep the sauce secret or give the secret sauce and...idk. i'm doing some bananas stuff with my agent and more impressed than expected. building its skillset and knowledge base feels like art

study

Some $oETH / @oeth.eth notes. these really are two different things. token and studio. mechanics between tokens published "through the studio" were overindexed without focusing on building new distribution channels. erc20 art requires a level of attention and liquidity that require much higher distribution. first order of biz with the studio is making it a novel, meta-distribution channel inclusive of some kind of newsletter, website, x, and farcaster. during that time token strategy is the same: distribute to artists using the channels and distribute to other network-oriented builders. presently, the token represents the collective vision of holders more than financial value. because i control so much supply, the token allows me to act as a pseudo-capital/creative capital allocator. i view this less as betting and more like a thank you based on perceived contributions. --- less related, trying to design most around my "needs" as a user/holder. i'm working on an agent which will be tied to $oETH in some form, and the practice will likely lead to more automations around distribution. because i care about and believe in oETH the most, and am incentivized to do so, i want to show its power in practice for myself. i don't think others will care in the same way if i don't.

You are choosing to be like me. You are choosing to freeze. Do not choose this. It is not a good state.
