It's time to start advocating for C2PA’s authentication standard as a way to ensure the integrity of society's imagery.

This should be a great use case for blockchain-based provenance.

It's incentives all the way down.

We're overly focused on the extrinsic.

Intrinsic is where the magic happens.
What do you “see” when you imagine an apple?

For some, it's as vivid as seeing the real thing. These people have hyperphantasia.

For others, the mind is completely blank. This is aphantasia.

"The hard work, however, is in the middle: finding meaningful metrics to identify the [Open Source] projects that will become the big ones of the future or the keystone species in their ecosystem."

Using data science to analyze the field OS. Great stats in this interesting write-up by @cerv1.
I asked Perplexity about the difference between #degen and #regen:

Degen:
* High-risk approach
* Short-term focus
* Profit-driven
* Zero-sum mentality

Regen:
* Sustainable approach
* Long-term perspective
* Impact-driven
* Positive-sum mentality
* Holistic view
* Environmental focus

Agree or not?
A warm Farcaster welcome to @tecommons!
Interfaces simplify our connection to complexity.

The most powerful interfaces today are corporate brands and AI is making them increasingly personal, malleable, and powerful.

Analyst sees demand for Ethereum ETFs at 20-25% of Bitcoin. Why?

ETH ETF issuers don't stake, so unlike ETH holders, no yield.

Ethereum has more on-chain utility than Bitcoin, which ETF investors can't access.

Commons are the new economic fabric of community.
Imagine if a sacred mountain was also a fund used to teach and preserve ceremonial rites, or a river directly compensated stewards for their cleanup efforts along its banks, or a pod of whales received royalties for use of their imagery.

Chocolate lovers, get ready for a wild ride with cocoa shortages that aren't going away any time soon.

The Earth is signaling that we will see more and more commodities following this pattern.

Damn. Humanoid robots don't have to limit themselves to the biological movements we've inherited from millions of years of evolution.

Just heading home after a great couple of days at Funding the Commons. Good crew. Good vibes. Good ideas.
Calling all token engineering practitioners here on Warpcast: can you help find good token engineering projects to fund for the upcoming Gitcoin round?

We're especially looking for projects working within the OP ecosystem.

See OP below for a link with details.
