I worked with
@David_Rudnick
on the FWB Fest art, combining piles of reference images, mood, colors, and objects into prompts that I fed into DALLE.
Here's a dump of everything generated - impossible carabiner physics, megalithic crocs, neo-idyllwild:
I personally think Twitter should have a single insane feed where every tweet from every account is posted in real time.
No curated feeds, just one incomprehensible stream of real time human consciousness where everyone has 400M followers.
Spaces still exist
i've been building a personal knowledge base that streams browser history, highlights, notes, biometrics etc into a big graph - cool to look at but hard to parse for any insights
spent last night rigging up a semantic search on top, and this morning i'm playing with a thing i've…
This morning I distributed over $75k worth of tokens to 300+ incredible FWB members, solely for their contributions to our community over the last six months.
Last couple weeks have been rough, but today was a bright spot 🔆
Over the past three years since co-founding
@FWBtweets
, I’ve watched it grow from a weekend project among friends into a sprawling decentralized community and global culture all its own - an evolution I've been privileged to help lead as Head of Technology.
Today I’m announcing…
when you're on the right path, anyone can tell you that your progress will appear as a string of synchronicities - everyday events appear to lead you to your result
the idea of 'coincidence' becomes moot point when for your hundreth rite, you get your hundreth coincidence
if you're paying attention, you probably felt something heavy starting to shift over the last week.
the future is arriving faster than we can prepare for it
at some point soon, any future we can conceive of will be obsolete before it can be realized
If it isn’t obvious yet, ads are about to disappear.
The transfer of value from attention to information is going to be severe - a full paradigm shift.
Large models require novel, meaningful, up-to-date information. API access essentially becomes a utility.
Ads kill…
I'm excited to share a peek of something I've been dreaming about for a long time.
Over the last few months, I've been working around the clock with an incredible team to drag MindPalace out of the ether and into reality.
• Visit to join the waitlist…
MindPalace has been achieved internally
All members of the team have integrated their messages, browsers and notes and are using MindPalace to eliminate friction between thought and action
To be among the first wave of MindMaxxers, join the waitlist at…
Past a certain rate of acceleration, the influence our collective past has on the present will not be as strong as the influence of our potential future.
As retrocausal signals increase, we’re already beginning to see a shift in values from preservation to preparation.
rigged up a wild gpt this week that batch calls a list of phone numbers and tries to convince them to join a cult using a clone of my voice
your grandparents are fucked
Anything you hear about computers or AI should be ignored because we’re in the Dark Ages.
We’re in the thousand years between no technology and all technology.
I’ve been following for years and have never seen anything like this on the Schumann Resonance...”Schumann Resonance 18/6 17:00 At the moment of this update it is about 24 hours that the avaerage RS value is Power 180....
A few years back Google had DeepMind running on an insane quantum computer, indexing images from search for their chem/phys models.
For a brief moment, anyone could inject prompts into it by simply writing it on paper, and posting a photo to twitter.
As a kid who clearly needed a halfpipe, i'd love to help Idyllwild rebuild theirs after they welcomed all of us in this last weekend 🛹

I spent a year with
@JoseRMejia
working on what a sovereign software company could look like as a product of FWB.
When I ultimately decided to shift focus, Jose continued to move mountains and I couldn't be more proud.
Honored to see my contributions live on as the name and…
I spent the last year getting laughed at for suggesting you could theoretically map the latent space of a text/image model onto a semantic fMRI network with enough accuracy to pull stills from your dreams/subconcious.
lol
I'm speechless.
Not peer-reviewed yet but a submitted paper.
The 'presented images' were shown to a group of humans. The 'reconstructed images' were the result of an fMRI output to Stable Diffusion.
In other words,
#stablediffusion
literally read people's minds.

this sounds and feels scary, but my optimistic take is this:
have you ever seen an animal worried about the far future or distant past? have you ever seen a squirrel work?
nature only exists in the present, and we've been separating ourselves from it for thousands of years
Introducing the FWB Directory –
A traversable on-chain identity to connect, grow, and move fluidly across the Web3 ecosystem.
Members will be able to search and engage based on shared communities, indexed skills, and past IRL events they’ve attended.
My beautiful boy Bear passed away suddenly after 11 beautiful and healthy years. He was an incredible friend, a talented composer, and could fill a room with his personality.
Kiss your pets on the head two times for us tonight ❤️

RR is an anomaly, not an archetype
There's no meaningful takeaway besides, "Build real trust with artists by consistently proving that you can add value to their process."
@matdryhurst
Honestly, the arts being funded by the people might just be the wrong model altogether.
Music should be funded by the rich. Everybody wins - the artists get money with no strings attached, the fans get better records.
FWB Fest felt like a tangible realization of all of the core values and convictions driving its creation in the beginning.
@TaylorLorenz
did a beautiful job capturing who we are, what we do, and the magic of all of it converging in the mountains ❤️
Before humans were universally infected with the mind virus of language, our internal state was completely abstract and without form
The boundaries of your mind are defined by language
Only true transcendence - meditation, drugs, art - allow us to peer over the wall momentarily
Leave symbols alone!
Language is made up
Imaginary shapes and sounds
Your words, your reality,
Your thoughts
All communicated in a made up language that takes years to understand.
Before i thought in language, what was in its place?
Not nothing, probably god
Great coverage of the reddit data DAO in Axios: under EU and California data laws, users can ask Reddit to send them copies of their data — "their own data treasury" — and, through Vana, pool that data and strike licensing deals with it

if i was rich i would start trying to buy up radio stations. there's no "new media" anymore, no wild west frontier where alternative culture can spread freely. what if we tried to spread it via old media? you know, like the right has been doing for 40 yrs
