@bashu_thanks oh ya. i've had dreams where i could copy and paste objects in reality, same felt sense amplified in a way
Been building something over the last few weeks at @raribledao that I'm hella stoked about sharing w yall What happens when you ship a public and free NFT primitive that anybody can experiment with and build on? 👀 🌈 HyperVIBES protocol goes live next month. details below: https://t.co/nIWomORsND
- your realms , your rules - any ERC-20 token - any ERC-721 nfts - free forever - built by @raribledao https://t.co/dEgUsRe392 https://t.co/iOxsjU1NH5

painted hundreds of abstract digital paintings in 2021 huge shoutout to everyone who collected my art, and to the artists that inspired me throughout this insane year 🌈 some of my favorite pieces that I shipped as NFTs on Ethereum, Tezos, and Polygon blockchains: https://t.co/gZBVwT7z9W
Haven’t done a non-animated piece in a minute 🌈 https://t.co/iiI0EVuTbF https://t.co/9uGsWb2RWH https://t.co/nS3FWUDrzA
@kristofgazso you can't use comparison operators with objects like BigNumber instances, you have to use its object methods like gt / gte, etc

last week Metalabel underwent a phase shift that was both deeply cohering and outwardly expansive... a massive step-change for our unique project in an even more unique space and time https://t.co/q7VXl14p2w
new DAO just dropped 🥳 @playgroundswtf is the offshoot org made up of the biggest weirdos from Rarible DAO united around the principles of openness, curiosity, and play If you wanna join us on our adventure, checkout https://t.co/XFUviogcrr and mint your Morph for FREE

the Genesis II Morphs engine upgrade has been live for a few days now ... and already 45% of the 22,000+ supply was minted on the new engine 🚀 still have 1.5 days to mint a free Morph (just pay gas), or batch mint up to 50 at a time : https://t.co/dRhE1aiKbw https://t.co/OXSeqZFnpO
hey sorry i was late to the call everyone , i was lost in deep engagement with my pecan tree and momentarily unshackled myself from plodding linearity of consensus spacetime
26,814 final supply 5,017 unique holders The Morphs community that came together around a niche experimental project from @playgroundswtf has definitely blown me away what a fun two weeks 🦖
boutta use @SetProtocol to create an index of my friends' social tokens it's up only for my homies
been shipping with some friends last 3 months in a group of sovereign and autonomous on-chain builders known as R Group we were formed in and funded by @raribledao , but we work across the space 🌈 we're all ab wild NFT tech, DAO tooling, and vibes ® https://t.co/TXTyeqG6Vh
"Here", my latest @sickvibesxyz NFT infused with 120 days of VIBES 🏄♀️ bid now on @screensavernft 🌈 damn i missed painting. https://t.co/TEZT4zs6Tx https://t.co/YhnVRXx4PK
Great thread , love this point in particular. We’re still so early but it’s critical to think about some of the established patterns in the space. Radically different tech/coordination paradigms should give us radically different power dynamics , or we miss the point imo https://t.co/rvr1Z6771B
@the_wilderless encounters with higher order structures that momentarily intersect our world an understandable sense of something incomprehensible

This week's @metalabel_xyz drop is the first look at our vision for how metalabels can expressively release their work together We're introducing "records" as a reimagined format... a permanent and programmable container for nearly anything imaginable
Shared this on the @raribledao community call this week. HyperVIBES is: 🎁 Open Source 🥳 Massively Multiplayer 🌈 Public Infrastructure 🚀 Unstoppable and Censor-Proof🌎 Multi-chain 💖 Free Forever https://t.co/7WHbjqfZuf
1/ Earlier this year, I started my crypto journey with minting NFTs on a custom smart contract I was instantly hooked and realized how we use and build software was undergoing a radical shift. I 100% had to be part of it 🧵 👇
AI art feels more like discovery / exploration than “normal” creativity A weird treasure trove you can mine for interesting things https://t.co/yPfjBbEsRf
@repligate vibesetting as a critical prompt engineering skill
we're building a secret third thing for those who cannot help but release authentic, expressive work in a world very loudly asking for something quite different . it starts with infrastructure but our vision is nothing short of seeding entirely new ecologies - a new creative era https://t.co/Qy4KT6Wmtz
first HyperVIBES infusion on mainnet : https://t.co/gCjNX4HMtD 10,000 BVAL from my personal wallet (on accident lol) infused into my genesis piece on ETH : INIT SPACE https://t.co/2AloYRmEkN https://t.co/NwgSlZYUhL

There's a dangerous form of mode collapse for STEM-brained people that leads them to double down on rationalism. Making something that works with clear success criteria via understandable systems is a deterministic way to experience satisfaction and reward. This is learned, honed, and may fully supplant any other mode of existence due to how satisfying and simple it feels. Engineers (eg.) are drawn to building because they like figuring out how the clockwork begets the clock, the power, control, and portability that comes with that is seductive. Seeking this type of satisfaction leaks into other areas of life. Legible systems composed of linear parts go from the most useful lens for success-- to the only lens used to engage with reality. Life becomes knowable, things "make sense", reality becomes a virtual, lossy reduction from beauty, chaos, and becoming into logic, systems, and structure. Why dare to feel at all when thinking provides all the answers? Projecting clockwork onto the world has consequences. Systems exist as a mean, eliminating everything at the edges that’s actually human. When the way the world works is known, you can’t help but get upset when it’s not working, and see divergence from your worldview as incorrectly parsing some concrete truth. I see so many fractal loops of frustration. S-tier map followers and map drawers eventually forget that the terrain is even there. This is most evident within large STEM orgs or communities, lonely rats in permanent darkness, burrowed and entrenched deep inside a sprawling machine, the outside terrain a distant and uninteresting memory. Social factors amplify this in groups of like-minded rats, co-enablement and co-disregulation of humanness occurs, a sort of decentralized orthodoxy keeps everyone in the dark. Plainly: this is the technocapital egregore tightening its grip on its idealized intellectual hosts, furthering its own aims of accelerationism and progress at the cost of those possessed ones. There is hope in that the same innate, primeval curiosity that drove those to examine clockwork mechanisms can repurposed for examining and joyfully experimenting with life, experience, feeling, physicality, and emotion. The extent to which the virtual realities that encage those who built up a lifetime of useful errors can be broken down is a matter of will. There needs to be a need for something more, a hint of warmth within the darkness, a small, truer flame that beckons to be stoked. Something that invites them to discard every tool and system they ever learned and rediscover their own interiority, their own drive, and their own thirst for knowing. I don’t know how this scales. It’s very possible that it simply does not. I do have hope that as humans create far better machine substrates to host technocapital egregores, we may yet find a way to free those still in darkness

had a hella dope chat w @DeezeFi @im_not_art @Bfernandes79 @iJmillz @raribledao tonight on spaces -- love hearing Brendan's take on the space coming from the traditional art world his community-oriented ethos around interdependence and emergent experience: perf fit for web3 🔥
casual / lay interest in buddhism increased after realizing how much it lined up with my experiential understanding and felt sense of things. learning vocab for [[that]] that I knew but never knew had a label - and felt v familiar
early at Metalabel, we were drawn to using blockchain infra like @0xSplits to split revenue among creators. it was a huge unlock but we wanted that power without asking creators to use or hold crypto-- so we built our own fiat-based payment splitting system, 100p off-chain https://t.co/BjH2dfYDJX
Curated some art from @XpopGallery , @Vanderic2 , and @colorshifttt into @sickvibesxyz ❤️💛💜💖 Up for secondary auction on @screensavernft now 🚀 Check out all my curated VIBES NFTs : https://t.co/imdgi7m1pb https://t.co/xhe3fS33BT

pro tip: you don't have to actually point the @Collab_Land_ bot at a real token, just a contract that quacks like a token Lots of cool ways to sneak in on-chain state to Discord this way
@_anishagnihotri It’s likely DAOs will have several LLCs serving as nodes in a decentralized graph , like how bankless LLC is just a single media node for @banklessDAO
Three months ago I learned about #NFTs for the first time. Today I deployed a customized #ERC721 smart contract and minted my nine-token "genesis sequence". Tomorrow I start a new job at a crypto startup. Let's. Fuckn. Go. 🚀#cryptoart #nft [1/7] https://t.co/MVbVziDIMi https://t.co/hYErnTsSsx

What is VIBES? That’s up to you to decide… but some docs never hurt https://t.co/lYDsMdQS0Z https://t.co/IPHpHEMZjr
@nnnnicholas my guess was always that it mapped to the internal decimal representation of USD on the coinbase side so there's never any weird remainder during USDC->USD
@ljxie Learning how ERC721 and ERC20 tokens were implemented The moment it clicked how insanely powerful and composable the base interop primitives were, I couldn’t stop thinking of fun things to build Legit couldn’t fall asleep that night
HyperVIBES over at @raribledao will be getting some updates 🛸🛸 Sneak peak at some of the stuff in the works: - Show animated infusions amounts on explore pages - Error and general UI messaging improvements - Clearer multi-chain support - Standalone HyperVIBES TypeScript SDK

@algekalipso the fermi paradox has a phenomenological explanation. what we call the cosmos is less the massive objective space-map we imagine and more our very lossy downsampling of an unimaginable reality. the edge of (outer)space is really the edge of our (phenomenological)space
@EigenGender naive thought: would it be possible to have the LLM continually summarize the conversation thus far into a more terse outline, and use that to have a longer running history that still fits within the model's 4096 token limit?

online interactions are intrinsically parasocial humans' digital modalities can be anything from a narrow expressions of self, to some hyperamplified minor component of the whole, to some schizosolipsistic game they are playing with themselves and anyone careless or brave enough to get swept up in their wake the pieces only fall into place when you can share space with the person-themselves and see how they sit within the co-constituting vibe fields the gulf is always and remains infinite, but there are ranks to this infinity
