A few thoughts on the role my AI played as an Emotional Agent operating on my behalf (and what it means for the things yet to be built in this space)

This has been the most dramatic UCL quarterfinal in a while, as far as I can remember. You could have picked any of these ties to follow over the course of two legs, and there would have been drama aplenty. It was nervous, it was fractious, it was tense at times, and we're here to recap all of the action for you.Real Madrid Have Been HumbledSomeone needed to knock Real Madrid off their perch and give them a humbling. Someone has needed to for years. As a dedicated follower of the dark arts of...

Coins aren’t a silver bullet, but they offer a promising way to enable support, identity, and discovery — and could help build a more sustainable and rewarding internet for creative work.

Back when Canadians used to travel to the US, it was common for a situation like this to arise: "Hey, I'll send you money. Do you have Venmo?" And then, as a Canadian, you'd say, "sorry, we don't have Venmo in Canada. We use our own proprietary system called Interac e-Transfer. Do you have PayPal? I think I still have an account. Let's try." Once this exchange was over, both parties would then sit there and wonder why the hell it's still so expensive and awkward to move money around. Take, fo...

Slashing allows Actively Validated Services (AVSs) to enforce accountability by penalizing operators who violate service-level conditions.

Over the past several years of my journey in crypto and web3, one trend has been clear and encouraged me to remain optimistic despite all the ups and downs: Consumer apps are improving at a rapid pace on many non-technical dimensions: accessibility, onboarding, GTM, design, and UX. And time has passed, we’re within striking distance of the web2 apps and user flows that have been hyper-optimized thanks to a multi-year lead. When Shreddy from Defi App reached out to me a few months ago to see i...

The this meme 👆 and this caption 👇 Content coins will work if you get people to post them with sufficient quantity and frequency.Until then, there will be a lot of push back.

In the latest EMC livestream, we sat down with Reid from Paragraph to explore one of the most urgent questions facing onchain creators today: Can writers actually make a living using coins, NFTs, or any of this new onchain stuff—or is it all just vibes and speculation?

PrefaceI’ve never claimed to be an academic. I’m not from any specific discipline, nor do I hold titles that grant me automatic authority in this space. What I do have is a mind that’s always been wired for patterns—drawn not to specialization, but to synthesis. In consulting, I often found myself not solving the problem directly in front of me, but navigating what surrounded it—the messy, sneaky complexity that no one thought to map. My default posture has been that of the observer, stepping...

Urbanation just released its Q1-2025 condominium market survey results for the Greater Toronto & Hamilton Area (GTHA). Here's how things are looking: The entire GTHA recorded 533 new condominium sales and the City of Toronto recorded 215 new condominium sales in the quarter. Once again, and as you can see above, this is the lowest level since the early 90s. For all intents and purposes, I think you can look at these sales figures as mostly representing a zero. The numbers are relatively small...

In the last weeks, I spent an unusually large amount of time in transit. From moving across half the width of Germany to flying back from Tbilisi after an off-site, which took me door-to-door a casual 12 hours (including the 30 minutes I walked in the rain back home because I couldn't be asked to wait for a bus, nor did I feel like taking a taxi in this economy). It got me thinking. About the presentation by Rory Sutherland, I watched one year ago on YouTube, wondering whether we're too impat...

It’s undeniable that AI and humanoid robots will be some of the most disruptive and consequential technologies of this coming century. They really have the potential to change everything for humanity going forward, and are essentially our only hope against pervasive and massive global depopulation, which could very easily lead to a full societal collapse in the coming centuries (after Africa is done with their growth peak). In any case, they’re happening, and apparently fairly soon. But at th...
