apart from the last line in the article, was there anything you disagreed with?
No but despite the fact that I might agree with the tenor of the article the fact that it references the ideas one of the biggest grifters in "crypto" Chris Dixon and probably the biggest grift in crypto since "world computer"- "web 3" makes me skeptical that the author approached the article with intellectual honesty and didn't try to simply create a framework for crypto narrative peddling.
I for one cannot wait to be regaled by the "tokenization" idea that shall follow.

i do think the author is friends with Chris Dixon, so you’re right there is definitely some inherent bias in his vision.
however, in the line right before his last, he basically admits it’s still an open question of how creator payments and AI will co-exist.
i think it’s more likely that the solution involves bitcoin, and i hope bitcoiners don’t throw out the entire concept of creators being paid by AI interfaces just because one of the proponents also happens to hold investments that bitcoiners don’t believe in.
creators represent one of the fastest growing job categories, it makes sense that they are able to earn money over token equity, and bitcoiners can make it happen.

Agree. Not every idea that comes out of crypto is bad per se. You just need to take them all with a grain of salt. There are very smart people in crypto but the incentive structures are so broken that even the brightest minds and ideas get corrupted by the allure of creating seigniorage.
Nice win by Leafs last night btw. Samsonov looked back on track and D played well.
