happy winter solstice from our morning wintry walk around town, love waking up to snow
when i first met @chuckstock IRL, he told me him and his brother @blackstock were gonna build a gaming app on top of farcaster.
that was back in march. nine months later, it’s SO good.
impressed with their focus and blown away by the execution. i’m coming for @alanadlevin and @keccers.eth high scores 😈

feedback to @tinylabs + any other AI token accounts:
-QUALITY >>> QUANTITY
-bots (quote) casting with obvious chatGPT slop is anti-growth; users will ignore them or mark as spam so the bots distribution will go to zero
-chatGPT slop about a token is a negative signal bc it seems botted; users won’t buy the token

follower-adjusted leaderboard is real! love this for new users.
shout out to @oxb for onboarding her friend @movewithalyna + bunch of people jumping in to make intros and connect the dots
also one thing remains true on FC no matter its era: people crave non-crypto content. don’t be afraid to share your hobbies!

this year i hosted Topics of Controversy dinners where people (now friends) would research + discuss taboo topics in good faith, 10/10
i’d love to do monthly URL version of this for crypto / tech topics next year
no more than 8 people at a time, private, Chatham House rules
anybody interested? /clubted gets prio

remember when i made a v1 frame where you had to click out to an audio file, press play, return to the frame, then click next to the sound of a beep just so you could see GIFs of me waving and then watch the iconic “Think Different” apple ad entirely in GIFs
v2 frames are a million times better

just saw a video of a girl who accidentally attached her OBGYN referral letter instead of her CV for a job application and suddenly i'm feeling so grateful that my CV mistake was just a number typo
damn there really are no women on farcaster, are there?
posting to /economics in case anyone has a take on this cc @giu @dwr.eth @julia

observation: @adam-xyz asks for interface on solana, someone else in a gc asks "is there a zerion but for solana"
thoughts:
1. market validation for interface (copy/trade, social trading) and zerion (insanely comprehensive assets/history)
2. are we unaware about solana apps or do they not exist? v dif implications

just ordered this and realized i have a hat problem. sampling from my collection (in no order):
farcaster fridays hat, the boring company hat, perplexity's "know it all" hat, coinbase's penny hat, sweetgreen's salad! hat, boysclub.eth. would probs kill for spacex, anduril, vintage apple hats.
what else is missing?

another observation:
i’m driven by a desire to understand, so i often questioned hype openly
over time i saw what i consider intellectual honesty labeled as negativity, esp by people who would benefit from blind hype, so i stopped asking publicly
but asking why or how isn’t negative, it’s how we get better

observation: men in NYC much better at maintaining eye contact walking down the street than men in LA
from steve jobs at the 1984 international design conference, from the book “make something wonderful”
i believe we’re at a similar place today with crypto
and while we may have a few cult personality founders, none of them match steve’s definite optimism, appreciation for great design or capacity to inspire

one of the easiest ways to gauge a startup’s culture is to listen to how often the founders say 'we' vs ‘i’ when talking about wins
wait who was gonna tell me that gracie abrams and paul mescal are together

change my mind: warpcast rewards is just an airdrop except it can’t easily be farmed, everyone with an account is always eligible, and you don’t have to worry about the price of the token tanking 50% within hours of getting it
new first date question: do you pay more for streaming services or AI subscriptions?
riffing on this + @rileybeans recent cast:
1. unless an AI agent is adding value as an assistant or part of a game, AI agents quickly become uninteresting to me as soon as it’s clear they’re not human
2. the best executive and personal assistants are not noisy at all, in fact they often cut (not create) noise
