aletheia and the high witches once again elegantly putting to words some of the things I've been feeling periodic reminder to spend your time and energy on what you want to see more of
1/ On dark patterns and bright hopes It's been interesting to observe how web2 patterns of capital + power accumulation evolve and take form in web3. The ideals of community + accessibility have become increasingly popular as we search for belonging in a new space, and yetโ€”

when you have a piece that's a WIP but the WIP has a sort of delicate brilliance all on its own that you didn't expect... what do you do: stop here, or let go and change and continue toward the original?

Tired: artists getting abused by AI Wired: artists getting AHEAD with AI jk I do have thoughts on AI art that are still taking form. But in the meantime, please allow me to offer some more optimistic takes on how AI can improve an artist's creative process:

imo so long as there are "algorithmic stablecoins" there will be alpha in breaking them and over a long enough time horizon, they will all eventually succumb

I'm on the pessimistic side here, but I think the limits of human capability, and the amount of context and size of systems we can hold in our heads, make us suited to build anything like algorithmic stablecoins, which need to be *very* stable, with high cost/risk

meanwhile there's so much high-impact work still to be done in "low-tech" / offline areas of storytelling, coordinating people, building communities, unlocking people's abilities, that I feel like is ignored cus it's not code

if anything (and there is indeed much more), @capsule_house is an interesting example in iterative art development, and I don't see this being talked about much the art is being developed and expanded as they go initial launch: capsules 2nd: yokai hatch 3rd: human hatch ...
I will probably regret not buying more @capsule_house at the current floor price. While some projects create fake hype, CH just quietly builds, youโ€™ve been warned.

capsules were completed for the initial launch then the team worked on the art and backend for the yokai launch, and shared updates/sneak peeks in the discord during the process same thing is happening now for the upcoming human launch
when I first saw aletheia post these back in jan, I was blown away. there's something about the colours and contrast, and they feel lived-in, mystical yet grounded honoured to now be holding ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ’ ยท ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐›๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง it's time for hot mage season again โœจ
gm! what started out as an exercise in character and lighting grew into something much more healing as I indulged in giving form to the ideas I love TONE: GREY will be a growing collection of these moments. Iโ€™m excited to see where this goes ๐Ÿ–ค opensea.io/collection/tone-gโ€ฆ
