iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

it’s kinda surreal how we still use the internet today in almost the same way we did 10+ years ago. - browser window - text and images laid out in sections of a webpage - back buttons, search bars. the biggest experiential upgrade is that there are no more loading screens.

I'm plotting on your rise bro. I'm literally up in the lab scheming on beautiful abundance for you I'm cooking up ways for a rising tide to lift all of our boats. I'm praying for your gains. I'm lighting a candle to your inevitable splendor, dude.

Disappointing to see this news. The domain system was already a great, equitable solution for verification. Blue checkmarks for “notability” only serve social stratification and seem like a feature mostly requested by self-important people desperate for status.

that’s exactly what’s going to happen. if bluesky did a good job of getting orgs and public figures to properly leverage the verifiable domain system, bluesky wouldn’t need blue checkmarks. sad stuff

Wasn’t this what Bluesky’s verifiable domain/username system, along with ATProto’s DID provisions, was supposed to solve in the first place? Not sure what I’m missing, but I can’t help feeling like the switch to the “blue checkmark” is a failure, and a bit of a cop-out, on Bluesky’s part.

A reminder that the AT Protocol is currently the best shot we have at saving the social internet, and Bluesky is the first of many credible attempts at realising this.

Yep, been looking into them recently. Their biggest(and sole client) is a local events company in Europe that seems to be doing awesome for it. Although there’s a lot about OPEN Ticketing that needs improvement, the project is very much on track w.r.t. its solution and relevance.

It cost the USA (and its assisting allies) around $2–3 Billion to build the Manhattan Project and use its products. In a sense, that $2–3 Billion was considered a sufficient startup cost for America to achieve their version of world peace.

People often do unproductive things with crypto, but this isn’t one of them. For some of us, it’s heartening to see the technology and infrastructure we’ve supported and advocated for—against all odds—being used to save lives. 3/4

For startups building AI agent frameworks, such as Virtuals and Salesforce’s Agentforce, and SDKs, like ai16z’s Eliza, success lies in the proliferation of their agent runtime designs across the majority of businesses, and infrastructure expected to adopt AI agents over the next 5–10 years.

Investors are sleeping on both atproto and Bluesky. It's actually surprising because investors are some of the only people that have truly internalized the power of networks. There should be multiple firms doing atproto and Bluesky funds already. Will be interesting to see who does the first one!
