advanced voice mode on chatgpt is great. For the first time, I felt ok speaking out loud on my phone with people nearby. With interrupts, the conversation flow was natural enough to feel like I could fool people nearby that i was on a call

anyone playing Echoes of Wisdom? Has the same look and feel of Link's Awakening but feels way easier so far
reading articles in a frame mini app somehow feels less annoying than a traditional inapp mobile browser
Compared to mobile and the internet, it feels like AI doesn't really change how apps/services are taken to market to consumers. Anyone have any counter examples?

Loved this section from the mr beast onboarding doc. You truly are whatever you consume - applies to being a creator, working in tech and pretty much any space

made a fun way to use AI with other people, useful for when you're brainstorming ideas

good taste and a unique GTM strategy are even more critical in a world where building apps is trivial with LLMs
been enjoying a lot more indie puzzle games recently. Enjoyed Cocoon and am loving Chants of Sennaar so far
been seeing a spike in bot activity on my casts recently - anyone else?
what's the best stack for coding for LLMs?

I just tried cursor with claude and loved it, open to other tools though

That was one of the craziest finishes by Curry I’ve ever seen
Tool calling standardization like what langchain provides is really cool - effectively lets developers/users swap out models as they see fit, while still getting the benefit of using third party services with natural language

this was a great read on the next generation of cryptography being defined by its ability to be programmed (thanks for sharing on twitter @liam.eth )

Didn’t really understand the hype, and I’m generally an MCU fan

This was a great listen - found it as a reference in one Vitalik’s recent essays. It gives a history and overview of the various sub cultures within crypto: cypherpunk, libertarian, regen and degen.

It made me consider whether the real driving force behind the adoption of blockchain tech will be an increase in the pervasiveness of those values, vs a single consumer app that will make people feel those values.

Slacks' Donut app, but for Farcaster. Once a week would match up users in an automated DMs https://www.donut.com/
Stoked to bring sign in with farcaster to more developers, powered by @magiclabs. Was a fun project to work on with the @walletconnect team 😊
Recommend listening to the latest Acquired podcast episode on Microsoft. The history of MS is is basically the history of a good chunk of the tech industry considering all the markets they entered or companies they tried to acquire. Great listen!

Does anyone use apple news - is it good?
Seems like the Olympics refs allow more physicality than nba refs - and it’s more entertaining. Less foul baiting and stoppage in plays
half baked idea: in order to be considered a new computer platform, you must be able to make a game with novel gameplay on it
