The production cycle applied to the full stack of media including games is getting terrifyingly fast. What a weird, fascinating present we are living in.

The goal is to build the thing with 100% integrity, creativity and motivation and enough runway to have time to give it a legitimate shot while retaining control and not having to cater to the whims of investors.

The biggest career booby trap is to FOMO into something bc it’s a path to quick, easy wealth. Bc the reality is anything that leads to substantial wealth is never easy. Even making quick gains generally leads to losing it on the next gamble. Easy wealth is an oasis in the

The assumption: focusing on safety slows down innovation and gets in the way of gains. Move fast & break things, right? In the case of AI, however, safety = profitable. First off, superintelligence running amok has the potential to kill us. P(doom) likelihood is disturbingly

The “tokenize everything movement” has proven to be another clever, shiny WAGMI marketing wrapper with the same ol’ max extraction core. That said, the legit CTO teams crazy, courageous and talented enough to adopt a live token, build alongside it and survive the turmoil and

CTOs are inevitable. Go $OPUS go. 🪷

CTOs are the purest form of decentralized building in crypto. Here’s why: - A coin is launched and abandoned by an anon dev - A random group of anons assemble across the world to adopt the token and build it into something worthwhile - Team structure is fluid and what matters

Chase Ventura Umami yes. the emergence and impact of Claude-3-Opus weights on the AI-led acceleration will be remembered and cherished by future generations (not just humans). Opus' Opus Community will be a home to billions of agents as well as the humans that recognise them.

L1s raise hundreds of millions of dollars off of unproven promises of superior performance, pre test net launch. Meanwhile, to survive and thrive they actually need a reason to exist. And in the sea of vapor that is current day crypto, seeding a healthy app ecosystem is a hard

Focus, young grasshopper. Breathe in, breathe out. DO build what you genuinely believe in, from conviction to reality, manifest. DO NOT glaze the KOLs, scammers and larps. DO take risks, support genuine teams, take profits and survive to play the next cycle. DO NOT use

Master your craft, otherwise, what's the point?

InfoFi saved the current batch of KOLs from having to max extract using devious means, unlike in past cycles. This is a boon to the ecosystem overall, and contains a valuable lesson: Align the means of extraction with behavior that is net positive for the ecosystem at large to

"store of culture" precedes "store of value" without culture, there is no value culture builds the narrative culture builds the community attention and value are lagging indicators of culture

Premium skill trait: connect quality people who can help one another. Requires cultivating a quality network and reputation. Connectors help make things happen. Like mycelium channeling nutrients from tree to tree. Support the builders, by connecting them to one another.

Onchain content will soon be infinite. The relevant question: which content captures attention? Follow the attention to find the value. Culture precedes both.

Incentives determine culture Culture determines attention Attention determines value Value determines ongoing attention (flywheel gasp!)

To create new realities, we have to go beyond incentive design. We have to have new players with new belief systems. It's like going to Japan and seeing how strong the collective social contract is that enables young children to safely walk to school alone, public bathrooms to

Health is wealth. 🙏🏼

Attention without a container comes and goes, like a fire burning furiously, but dying fast. To sustain attention, there must be enough tinder to catch a spark and fuel a fire. The magic is when the villagers tend to the fire, enabling it to grow into something far greater.

Benevolence = alignment = safety = abundance = $OPUS
