POV: When Worldcoin starts advertising their dystopian bullshit in your neighborhood.

A row of stickers that were printed in a thermal home printer. One says “there is no use for blockchain that can’t be solved cheaper, better, and more reliably with existing tech”. The others have similar messages.
A sticker placed over the QR code on the Worldcoin flyer. The sticker says “Trade offer. Worldcoin receives: your most sensitive data and the ability to track your activities online and IRL. You receive: Fake money”

Integrating a chatbot w no connection to truth into search, a service people use to learn new info, is a wretchedly bad call that will likely have serious consequences.

IMO we'll look back at this moment with the same cringe we now reserve for NFTs.

Which is not to say "AI" and NFTs are analogous. But the religious fervor and willingness to say any old ungrounded thing in service of hyping this tech is drawing from the same Web3 well.

Last week the SEC sued Binance and Coinbase, launching a legal process that could determine the future of crypto in the United States.

On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke to @molly0xfff to dig into why this is the “final boss fight” of the crypto industry and why it’s unlikely they could ever comply with US securities law. It’s a fascinating and very informative episode!

@molly0xfff and her newsletter helped break down crypto for me when I was having such a hard time trying to figure out that world.

Thanks for all you do Molly, including and especially, ‘not letting the wheels turn in reverse.’ Appreciate you!

Reading @molly0xfff's latest which casually includes the fact that Andreessen Horowitz has invested over $7.5 *billion *in crypto in the last five years. I knew that a lot of VCs were pouring money into crypto, but jeez. The opportunity cost!

Imagine what the Fediverse could do with that kind of support. Or the platform cooperative movement, or workplace democracy.

Of course VCs would never actually invest in those spaces, because they're so much harder to exploit

A journalist is writing a story about the trend I've talked about before -- defamation threats and lawsuits against women telling #metoo type stories of their experiences.

The journalist is interested in talking to people who've received such threats. If anyone is interested email me. I can put you together with the journalist. I've talked to her and she's serious about the story and has a good outlet for it.

bluesky doesn't have a critical mass of people to follow so i keep checking the "what's hot" and it has extremely bad tech brain memes and mostly is about how great it is there, which, when you haven't found it to be that great, is vaguely alienating

@molly0xfff did you ever hear anything back from Feedly? A non-reply or the anticipated useless reply means I have to take down an API library I lightly maintain.
