praying for the beautiful island and kind ppl of 🇯🇲 tonight. I hope the island makes it out ok

when top projects coordinate enforcement mechanics, it raises real questions: antitrust (collusion, market foreclosure); contract law (upgrades ≠ consent); fair access (closed clubs vs open infra) Royalty alignment? Yes. Royalty cartel? Careful now.

Central Park is almost pin drop quiet. The tents and barricades are ready — bring on the runners! nothing beats marathon Sunday in NYC. best city, best energy, so much love in the streets.

NYers, go out and cheer for your friends, coworkers, neighbors and visitors running the marathon! seeing familiar faces on the road is priceless.

viiiiiiiibes

big decision and bold move from paulgrewal.eth, Brian Armstrong and the Coinbase team. I’d love to read a comparative paper on TX (and other states, WY had a moment) vs DE to better understand this call and why others may make similar choices.

The same applies to data and downstream derivatives in AI-gen content and AI services. The ability to tag and attribute component parts of derivatives is table stakes in the new era. Also, if “Lego” is strategic partnership with LEGO, then 😍 what a brand extension!

From Pudgy Penguins Mystery Boxes, there’s a lot of talk about blind boxes and it’s reminiscent of the Doodles Packs days. IMO, ppl need to RLY want what’s inside. cool example right now where it’s an accessibility play is what CJ Hendry is doing with juju for PhilipsAuctionHouse

having spent my entire career in and around fragmented ownership of IP rights, i couldn’t be more excited to see how tokenization can improve content licensing and the flow of funds efficiently and accurately back to creators. Speed & reliable infrastructure FTW!

Supporting the Alexa audio team, been using Alexa far more for a deeper understanding of the product. Unexpected outcome, screen time way down. We ask Alexa a lot more things that used to be a web search. Voice-first means more time IRL and I love that.

rather than labeling as extractive and speculating on company finances, why doesn’t anyone just ask burnt toast and Jarett Knapp about runway, roadmap, etc and how VC funds were used? you’ve also got original founders on the board. you don’t get answers to Qs you don’t ask.

one of the most interesting pieces of the deal terms announced is the distribution of Sora outputs on Disney+. co-creation is happening! fan created content alongside the original works that inspired it. v excited to see how this all unfolds and dials up! openai.com/index/disney-s…

i LOVE nyc. no matter where I go in the world, I get butterflies approaching the skyline when I come home but the west side highway and surrounding roads are filthy. can we freshen up Eric Adams?

rly enjoyed this take. highlight for me, “no shortcuts”. the folks building low and slow for long term, legacy defining world building will make it and help recalibrate the industry

who’s throwing Coinbase a bar mitzvah? would love to see Kevin Durant, Nasir Jones and Alexis Ohanian 🗽 lifting Brian Armstrong, paulgrewal.eth and Emilie Choi 🛡️ in their chairs.

this birthday, upgraded the sound in our apt significantly with Sonos Arc and complementary spatial speakers. Software, leaves a lot to be desired, but the sound and Dolby Atmos experience is unbelievable. 2026 dance parties gonna be 🕺💃🏽

I was rly rly hoping this announcement was coming! LFG Luci, Alexis Ohanian 🗽 and Seven Seven Six 7️⃣7️⃣6️⃣, can’t wait to see what the next chapter holds in store 🍾🥳🤘🏽

thinking about the sauna festival in Domino Park this weekend. who’s going?
