ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Here I make a dApp from scratch using @TeiaCommunity data in 15 minutes with a few prompts and not writing a single line of code.

ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Hey folks - happy to announce that teia.cafe has been accepted into Altalab's Fall 2026 accelerator program. I think it's a great fit for where our company is right now and also a great opportunity to get @teia.bsky.social in front of some people. www.crunchbase.com/organization... 241
ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 06/09/2026One thing about working towards impossible goals is that there is always a reason to get up in the morning. 🌞 100
ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 05/09/2026One nice thing about AI is that when I'm out of credits or hit my token limits I have a pretty good excuse to doom scroll and play video games while I'm waiting around 000
ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I use that last line a lot in a lot of my prompts. One underappreciated usage of AI is making statements "palatable" for the easily-spooked. 😂 000
ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 30/08/2026How do you build a decentralized social media site without getting lost in the chaos of federated content? Turn every action into a transaction on the blockchain. 100
ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 29/08/2026The curations feature for @TeiaCommunity is now live! You can now create collections of works as a playlist, directly on the blockchain. You can even turn audio works into a radio, which we're really excited about for Tezos' music community. teia.art/curations 110
ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Welcome to teia.cafe's pitch deck, v2. This is kind of a new thing for me so I was struggling with it initially, but things got a lot better after I started treating it like one of my art projects. pitch.teia.cafe Now it flows more like an art gallery. 🖼️pitch.teia.cafeteia.cafe Pitch Deck 2026 [Public]teia.cafe Inc.

ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Fundraising has been a trip but it forced me to solidify my understanding about a lot of things so it's been good for me, over all. Part of me wishes we started sooner but then again, if we started during the hype cycle it probably wouldn't have worked anyway. Now is the time.🔜 110
ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 24/08/2026The problem of AI: - Skilled labor requires 99%+ accuracy for you to get paid. If you crashed your car 1/100 trips you'd have your license revoked - AI cannot get that high with current methods - AI psychosis is the realization that many high paying jobs are actually unskilled 010
ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Talked a bit about what's been going on with @teia.bsky.social and our company teia.cafe - also outed myself as a music "purist", lol youtube.com/watch?v=zuqH...

Reposted by ryangtanakaTezos Commons @tezoscommons.org · 21/08/2026Our gem of the week is @ktorn.bsky.social, a dev who sees that NFTs can do more to empower art. From Hicathon contributions to developing with Teia today. What sets him apart is the code based execution and the intention behind it, without truly seeing himself as an artist. teia.art/objkt/88917 275
ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 19/08/2026AI seems to hate our design - which was basically borrowed from the aesthetics of Hic et Nunc and @teia.bsky.social. I'll take that one with a grain of salt, l think, especially since these days every website looks exactly the same. Early-2000s web forum? Sign me up, honestly! 😂 pitch.teia.cafe 100
ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Most don't realize the best use-cases and applications for crypto and AI is automating the boring, tedious stuff nobody wants to do. The "bubble" exists from the mistaken belief that it can replace human ingenuity or creativity. 120

ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 15/08/2026It's true, #AI *can* solve a lot of problems given the right prompts. Can it solve the problem of employees not giving a shit, though? It'll be interesting to see how AI models deal with the problems of prompter apathy. Or it won't and we're all dead, I guess. 😂 000
ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 12/08/2026We're doing a small raise for our company (teia.cafe) to keep things running over the next few months. There's methods now that allow for everyday people to invest smaller amounts in exchange for shares in our C-Corp. Any interest? #Tezos pitch.teia.cafe 250
ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Reminder that @teia.bsky.social (teia.art) has no login or database even after running for 4 years - it's a simple wallet sync that runs every feature on the blockchain itself. Tired of the usual apps that invades your privacy and steals your data? The solution, right there. 110

You can now create playlists, albums, and collections of TEIA works natively, and on-chain! preview.teia.art/curations/ 164
ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Someone asked to visualize how all the features on @teia.bsky.social connect, so I started working on a flow chart. Not sure if it's any less confusing but everything here is true and I hope it gets the point that we're turning *every* #NFT into an opportunity engine. 🕸️ #Web3 #DigitalArt #Art 010
ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Yani Neko / Chainsmoker Cat started off raunchy and gratuitous so I had kind of glazed over it but the more recent episodes started getting "deep" in ways I wasn't expecting. Racism, poverty, co-dependence, addiction and bad habits - it's the ultimate show for degens, I'd say.🫠 253

Reposted by ryangtanakaBy Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C) @doctorow.pluralistic.net · 01/08/2026Neoclassical econ assumes rationality. The corollary of, "If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?" is "you're rich, so you must be very smart!" Thus, people assume that if powerful, well-compensated CEOs insist that "AI is changing everything," well then, *AI must be changing everything*. 1/ 19774303

ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 25/07/2026The way I imagine #NFT artists making money in the future is for people to pay a penny to a dollar (depending on experience) to license their works for the millions of content being made every day. Might not seem like a lot individually, but with volume, it will add up. 110

ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 24/07/2026#AI and #crypto projects have long been considered separate things but the potential power of combining the two has always been there. ryangtanaka.substack.com/p/how-artist...ryangtanaka.substack.comHow Artists Can *Beat* Artificial Intelligence (Using the Blockchain)The two technologies aren't as divergent as you might think. 130
ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 23/07/2026We're starting to populate @teia.bsky.social 's wiki entries this week - we added @flexasaurusrex.bsky.social, JackTezos and Mek.TXT's projects to the list. teia.art/wiki/communi... Part of our ongoing efforts to highlight and promote builders all over the #Tezos ecosystem! 261
ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Online, a lot of artists make art in an abstract style because they're paranoid about people using their works without permission - many of them having had bad experiences in the past. Many artists - including well known ones (Pollack) - often go through an "abstraction" phase. #Art 130
ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Btw, @joesimon.bsky.social has been building an "AI assistant" for @teia.bsky.social using on-chain data. We are setting it up where the user provides their own key, preserving decentralization while still getting the benefits from #AI tech. Testing now: teia-ai-artist.netlify.app/assistant 254
ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 19/07/2026When @teia.bsky.social launched its decentralized copyright registration system lot of folks were confused because conceptually, the idea was so new.

ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 18/07/2026A wrap-up of #Tezcon 2026 and the happenings around in around @teia.bsky.social right now, both global and local. teia.art/objkt/882364 We're hoping to build stronger connections and network effects by reimagining TEIA as the the "community hub" for #Tezos, both online and off. #Web3 #NFTs 120
ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 14/07/2026At Tezcon there were talks about privacy - the reality is that most parents have no idea what their kids are doing online. A benefit to @teia.bsky.social social system is that parents can monitor their kid's actions and spending online without having to "trust" some corporation to do that for them. 120

ryangtanaka @ryangtanaka.bsky.social · 08/07/2026So the biggest difference between @teia.bsky.social's "social" system and the rest is that it's a "pay as you go" model where everything is a microtransaction. A hard sell for most who are getting things for "free" right now, I understand. 110
