Keeping up in this new generative mega-multi-meta-DAO-verse makes it hard to quantum all that spatial neural netting. You down with GPT? Ya, you know me. That's why I package up a small part of the internet that catches my eye, percolates my thoughts, stirs my mind and share it with you from time to time.

Message from the Management

Howdy! And thanks for tuning in. I’ll be adding in a little message up top of the newsletter just to let you know and inform you of any tweaks or additions that sneak up from time to time. For instance, I’ve added the Soundcloud playlist that has all the artificial intelligently spoken of each week’s breakdown down below. I’m also going to be sending out a new Wednesday email (I’m calling it “See More to Play & Learn”), so if you’re not subscribed — you ought to be — you’ll miss out on the top ten videos that I learned the most from all week and the non-listed Super Long Play edition of the pod (for subscribers only). In it, I’ll get into why I think each story is significant or impactful to its industry, draw analogies to help better understand concepts, and share my hot takes on what’s what. Plus, I’ll get you some of that new alpha that it’s alfalfa
