Art. We are so cooked.
I came to realize people liked the french #slopcore without having the lyrics 😅 sorry!
So here is a version with english subtitles!
Basilisk injected directly into mainstream consciousness

satoshi being a mysterious pseudonymous entity who appeared out of nowhere, invented permissionless internet money, and vanished makes a lot more sense once you realize it was obviously a superintelligence traveling back in time to bootstrap the agent economy

A friend just revealed to me that the middle name of Benoit B. Mandelbrot is Benoit B. Mandelbrot.
When I first scanned past this ad it looked like the guy was winding up to punch his phone. It resonated with me powerfully.

People in crypto do not want to push a fake and empty dream anymore and that's rather bullish.

Algorithmic Synesthesia CC (Collector Curated) is the first project released using the new @artblocks_io API minter, which enables collectors to generate as many outputs as they like before picking one they want to collect.
There will be no AL for Algorithmic Synesthesia CC on the 6th May @ noon.
Price is $200, but I have 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% OFF coupons available for my holders.
✅If you are a good holder, I can also give you early access. This will give you time to pick a mint you really like.
Be sure to DM me sharing your wallet(s) and what collections you own if you want to mint Algorithmic Synesthesia CC at a discount. More details in pinned post.

Some of y’all still don’t know the story behind Wonky Stonks and why I will continue to relentlessly bull post them.
With NFTs starting to wake up a bit (imo still disbelief stage), I think it’s important to revisit it:
Summer of 2021, the NFT marketplace started to wake up. Punks, Apes, Squiggles, and Penguins were all sending. I wanted to launch a collection that resonated with my audience and introduce the trading community to the NFT space.
So rather than doing a pfp collection, we came up with fully generative digital art of charts. It felt way more authentic to my brand, and it was something that hadn’t been done before. If you’ve stared at charts for long enough, eventually they become art.
And seeing how an algo could randomly generate price action that resembled real structures so well was beautiful to watch. The ultimate meme was people collecting charts rather than just studying them all day.
I wanted to do it in a fair way, so we decided to do a free mint with a stealth launch.
No honoraries.
No hype and crazy price gauging.
Any wallet could claim one stonk for free.
The goal was to give back in the process, but I honestly had no idea what it would really turn into from there. It minted out in just over an hour with an initial 81% unique wallet distribution. Pretty soon I fell in love with the community that grew out of it.
Utility was the ultimate meta back then and everyone asked for it, but I truly believed (and still do) that the art was enough. As we’ve seen with countless collections, utility fades with time.
Art survives.
It was born at the end of the last bull market, and cultivated through the entirety of the bear. The community is as cultish and strong as any that I’ve seen out there.
I own over 250 stonks, and have given away just as many over the years. I’ve purchased ALL of them that I’ve ever owned on secondary markets outside of the one free mint I got day one.
For me it’s a project of passion. I’ve definitely put way more into it from a financial perspective than I’ve gotten out of it, but I love the community and I truly love the art. I’m not going anywhere and neither are the Stonks.
Wonky Stonks are inevitable.

Since whole brain emulation is looking a bit less remote this morning, this is a great time to read @qntm’s incredible flash fiction MMAcevedo. 5 minutes of your time, but will haunt your nightmares for years.

🚨Nobody wants to hear this but it needs to be said.
> Scientists just copied a fruit fly's brain into a computer. Neuron by neuron. No training data. No machine learning.
> It woke up and started walking. No one taught it to walk. No one trained it. No gradient descent. It just... knew what to do.
A fruit fly brain has 140,000 neurons.
A human brain is around 86,000,000,000.
And we've gotten really good at scaling.
Meaning with this proof, the first digital human won't be built by OpenAI. It'll be copied from someone who's already alive.
Your consciousness is software. And someone just proved it can be copy-pasted.
Start your day with that.

Identifying a pseudo-intellectual is as easy as making a good point and watching them implode.
