I've decided to take the contrarian side on sex bots. I think they'll be a good thing for helping intimacy and connection. We're currently at the peak of a bell curve, where porn is the substitute and it's the worst. What came before and what comes after will be the much better and healthier.
Society is set up so that men get validation from sexual conquest in the way women (historically) got validation from I guess not being conquested lol. The sexual revolution helped women but not men. It's ok for women to have sex, but not, it's ok for men to not have sex. Men don't get validation and there's a lot of pressure from subconscious signals that makes this hard to ignore. The closest men got is the "keep your head up king" memes.
With sex bots, men will get their sexual validation and thus should make connecting with women easier since there isn't this underlying insecurity driving most of the interactions. So a lot more spontaneous conversations irl that lead to meaningful connections and relationships.

some of y'all didn't grow up on literal bathtub bootleg arak with flagellation punishment (if caught) and it shows.
If I organize a Farcaster Friday in Kansas City, who would come?
Recasts for visibility outside the channel would be appreciated.

At least a dozen new users being onboarded cc @victorialiang and then OGs hanging too @sdv.eth @chicbangs.eth @cbxm
So fun, thank you @christian for organizing.

☀️ Time for a Club Ted topic! Where’s your dream location for a poker night?
Once onboarding directly to channels is available we'll see growth in smaller niche communities and migration away from oversized keyword channels

I don't follow him, but I think Adam makes some interesting points about Polymarket in this thread, but I don't think he identifies what's actually going on until the last tweet.
Trump will share any poll or metric that shows him ahead, so I don't think PM is being used for some grand "coup if we lose" plot, but I do think the recent whale activity (being called out as inorganic even by Nate Silver) is likely being treated as advertising spend by whoever is doing it. It's being funded by a Kraken account, so good chance it's someone/some entity in the US.
Trump is all about earned media, and pumping Polymarket numbers is one unique way to get it.

Talking to people with communities if the new channel model becomes way less frictionless in managing members and using mini apps to have a home that’s fully customizable (e.g. webapp) as companion then now you have
- social community platform with feed
- dm chat system + groupchat
- custom home (mini app) that’s easily reachable from channel (community platform)
That’s powerful
Add frames, cast actions and bots + the fact that the content and social graph won’t be rugged
The above is what people care about, the complaining is about friction. As we march on and remove friction we‘re good

thoughts from a16zcrypto.com/stateofcrypto for discussion cc @a16zcrypto:
competition gets most intense when resources are limited. in consumer crypto, resources = users.
given the intense tribalism rampant on crypto twitter, it's no surprise that crypto isn't onboarding new users — and we haven't since april.
since april, there has been a 3.25x increase in # of unique users on blockchains (37M to 125M) and plateaued mobile wallet users (27M).
great, you may think. think again.
from april to september:
- transactions across blockchains dropped from 2.67B to 2.1B; the avg txns per unique user dropped nearly 75% from 72 to 16.8
- DEX volume dropped nearly 30%. stablecoin volume dropped almost 25%, although had a record month in august. NFT buyers dropped 25%
- worse, imo, is the # of active and interested developer building publicly in crypto has been on a downward trend since january 2022
if you're a consumer app targeting crypto only, i hope you have enough runway to wait for a true bull market.

☀️ Time for a Club Ted topic! Must-have tech for a perfect day?
backgammon in the US has this weird dynamic of hamptons posh and their wannabe offshoots getting their asses handed to them by your run of the mill bald persian/greek/turkish/lebanese dude on his 57th dose of overcooked tea.
sorry @ted
the hamptons people are in it cause backgammon is cool in monaco.
the overcaffeinated middle eastern dudes are in it cause their grandaddies bullied them over the game
