@balajis.eth on @gmfarcaster was 🔥. I encourage you to watch it. Seeing @farcaster and @rish + their teams passing the torch was fantastic transitional theater. Thank you @nounishprof + @adrienne for creating a space for this to happen. Balaji is a long-form thinker. Watching him is like attending a graduate-level lecture, and I dig it. He's a rare mix of intellectual vision and execution, but instead of defaulting to founder speak, he delivers a thesis and has the receipts. One idea stuck with me: the wetware in our heads was crafted by somebody, often on purpose, tuned the way a marketing team tunes a jingle. He described a whole class of ideas as academic theories shrunk down for phones and sharpened into blades for winning arguments. I kept pulling on that thread. If even our own thoughts were caught from somewhere else, recombined, and passed along, then you feel like the author, but you're also the carrier. Some ideas spread because they win fights. Others spread because they name something you already felt. And human slop existed long before AI slop. That became an essay, written with Claude, and it says so up front: You Didn't Think That. https://paragraph.com/@jonathancolton.eth/weapons-and-flashlights?referrer=0xe19753f803790D5A524D1fD710D8a6D821a8Bb55

Only woman who has ever pulled these off.

Glyphs, let's talk about it. Glyphs lets you instantly transform your photos into beautiful artwork. Pick a powerful artistic style — like Monet, Van Gogh, or Miyazaki — then drop in your image and watch it get completely reimagined. When you create something you love, mint it as your own digital art. Why We Built It (@eriks + JC): We’re photographers who got completely addicted to remixing our own work. We’d lose hours on the phone experimenting with different styles, turning the same landscape into impressionist paintings, Japanese woodblock prints, Studio Ghibli vibes, and more. So we built the tool we wished existed — simple, powerful, and genuinely fun. How It Works: -Choose the artistic prompt/style first -Upload your photo or use your PFP -Instantly see the transformation -Remix, iterate, and play as much as you want -Mint the creations you fall in love with as NFTs

Is @rodeodotclub becoming a cornerstone for on-chain art? 🤔 The latest Product Market Fit (PMF) survey highlights impressive traction across diverse user bases: -38% of respondents would be very disappointed if they could no longer use @rodeodotclub, with another 28% somewhat disappointed. -That’s 66% of users who deeply value the product—a clear sign of growing relevance. -Even better: Only 4% no longer use the product, showing excellent retention. What’s most exciting is that @rodeodotclub is pulling in users from across platforms: Farcaster, X, and Instagram. This cross-platform appeal could be the foundation for a thriving hub in on-chain art, uniting collectors, creators, and enthusiasts. As more artists and collectors embrace the possibilities of on-chain ecosystems, could @rodeodotclub solidify its position as a key player in this space? I would love to hear your thoughts on its trajectory! 🚀 CC: @kayvon
