Oh yes, of course, I did miss something, and even in remembering what I have now, I will still be missing something else, the cycle goes on, but thought I'd mention it before I head for the sarcophagus.
I think I had briefly touched upon recent developments vis-a-vis AI and their resonances across the ecosystem. I will refrain from now about critical judgements about them - I have already pointed out the irony of the market in clamoring to AI and agents for gestures which can be tokenized and capitalized on, but this is now the market, so i rather be neutral about these happenings, but it is the irony which i cannot stress on enough. I'm sure a lot of who even bothered to read a word of me in these past months, I mean bless them for even trying to make that effort, have concluded that I myself maybe some sort of AI, or used that as a point of dismissal. This is only symptomatic of how distant we have become from each other as humans or how little we trust each other or recognize each other; I do agree that the rapid scale at which AI is expanding makes it very difficult to differentiate and the lines are very often blurred to unrecognizable degrees. But this again gives us the opportunity to ask of ourselves: what is it that makes us human and how do we identify with each other in this contemporary world? I can, off the top of my drowsy head, make several fluff arguments as to what can be differentiators, since it has come to that - like for example I can say, facetiously even, that the day AI can give birth to a human offspring, with DNA and the exact corporeality we possess, without human interference, just like we can give and have given birth to AI, will be the day that I'll etc. etc. etc. These are phantom arguments, I don't mean to pursue them or deliberate upon them. But again, the irony is that the very people who may have dismissed me because I might not actually be human, they may have dismissed me for being human as well, among other things, but those very people might now be engaging with AI, their tokenized forms etc etc, more than they probably have or done so with people who might love them or care for them - this is a presumption, but I suspect I'm not wrong. All is fair in the market and for the market and as I said I'll be neutral on this but will have my human stain of opinion, even if it's just for the heck of it.
I do see the absolute possibility of this movemenet however, it's indisputable, because anything that fuels cognition, through whatever forms, even if they are ulterior, only begets cognition. So in all it's another wonderful imprinting of humanity (i'm being optimistic here, and we do have the potential to be good, to do good, we have done so in the past, otherwise I wouldn't be writing this, someone, somewhere, wouldn't be reading this).
I'm going to end on a happy and optimistic note here, which is by way of suggestion, despite my reservations of offchain systems - I had heard of it before and done a bit of reading on it, but never really paid notice but now I am, given the flourish of AI and interactions and that platform being the nexus of it. I'm talking about Farcaster. Somehow, whether through design or illusion, even though currently a majority of them seem to occur between humans and non-humans, some with ulterior motives, some with progressive motives, the quality of interactions seem to, at first glance, and its participants seem to be far more questioning and their cognitive assonance appear far superior than on current other platforms. And it helps that the platform's foundation is set on an onchain-centric vision, meaning it's primary participants are onchain participants and it is also founded and supported by onchain builders. I wonder if it might be a good idea for any of you well versed with it to try and set up a firstbase station there, maybe it's an illusion but it somehow seems, from all the other spaces, well-suited and appropriate - by that I don't mean that becomes a central site but another ancilliary one, on top of the existing avenues. Just a midnight thought. But I leave it completely up to all of you. I still will maintain my primary presence here, directly onchain, and here only.
Also thought of ending with some relevant lyrics, albeit a little upturned to suit our situation. For what's to come and what the sentiment might have been like within, for me.
"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do.
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows
Major Tom to ground control
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God's love be with you
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One...
Major Tom to Ground Control
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Ground Control?
Can you hear me, Ground Control?
Can you hear me, Ground Control?
Can you..."
