@Gargron this is my neighborhood, Eugen! were you guys staying in Tribeca?

Interesting new concepts enabled on Farcaster, the crypto social network, through their 'frames' architecture: https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2024/02/07/farcasters-dan-romero-explains-how-frames-did-what-x-twitter-doesnt/?_gl=1*y6dba9*_up*MQ..*_ga*MjEzNzQ2MTkxMy4xNzA3MzI2NDkz*_ga_VM3STRYVN8*MTcwNzMyNjQ5Mi4xLjEuMTcwNzMyNjQ5OC4wLjAuMA..

"So what's been great about it is developers, even within this really simple canvas, have had just tremendous creativity. And what's been great for users is it just meets them where they are. So developers now get users, and users get actual delightful, interesting experiences right in their feed."

Fred Wilson: “AI and Web3 are two sides of the same coin. AI will help make web3 usable for mainstream applications and web3 will help us trust AI.”

What do you think this means? He doesn’t really explain it in the blog post: https://avc.com/2024/01/what-will-happen-in-2024/

Hey, Patrick! It's Jonathan Glick. Hope you're well.

@Gargron and I are wondering if we could get your advice on the best way to approach the NYT re: Mastodon, especially in the wake of the most recent Musk weirdness.

Any insight would be awesome.

Thanks, in advance,

Jonathan

@mahryekuh Yeah, maybe it's one of his character AIs. :)

Pretty interesting to hear this from Zuck re: ActivityPub and Threads:

"[It] actually makes people feel more confident investing in a system if they know that they have freedom over how they operate. Maybe for phase one of social networking, it was fine to have these systems that people felt a little more locked into, but I think for the mature state of the ecosystem, I don’t think that that’s going to be where it goes."

Yes, *that* Mark Zuckerberg.
