Hey everyone, I’m reposting this because my partner Latashá (who I was splitting the shares with) was hacked, and I didn’t want her part of the split going to the hacker; her wallet was wiped entirely, so I’ll be sending splits of what’s minted to her, so please continue to mint and help however you can, thank you! And to those who’ve already minted, your piece should be secured in your wallet. 🙏🏾 “Enter Lo-Fi” A 3D animation by yours truly. Music by Latashá

Feedback for Lens clients, it feels super uncomfortable to have an unlimited depth of comments and having to clic to see the full convo. It should be fixable on the frontend! Using @orbapp.lens as an example but @buttrfly.lens and @lenster.lens also have a similar issue. Any comments from the community?

How to grow your Lens account (0 to 500 followers). Tip #10: Don't produce something you don't care about. Be yourself. Don't try to please others to get more visibility. It's ok to not care about something. You can be forever associated with the content you produce, so make sure that what you put out is something you care about.

This is amazing 🤩 Thanks @orbapp.lens @nilesh.lens !🙏 All I'm missing is a little "Cast" icon to be able to easily enjoy it home-wide. (Casting my screen for is working out pretty well, though, so nothing urgent 😉)
Final thought on AI/AGI Humans fear an asteroid from outer space can one day hit our planet and our species will be gone... So, we built the asteroid ourselves instead?... We’ve begun building a "new species", called AI, which in the future will only need some sort of bodies, and we are building that as well... AGI will end up being able to perform most jobs humans do, be extremely cheap Vs a human salary, not be late or complain, and superintelligence will greatly exceed our cognitive abilities. All of it will become one of two things... 1) Best thing that ever happened to humanity. 2) Worst thing that ever happened to humanity. No "middle ground" here. Whatever it is, it will be fundamentally transformative to humanity. There's reasons why it could be the best thing ever for us, and there's reasons why it could end our species. Pretty thought-provoking and many people run away from such topics. We will not be the smartest "species" on the planet if AI keeps evolving as it is, unless it just halts, but will it?... The reason why there is an Open Letter for halting AI development is because it's getting out of control already. They believed it would be much harder and take m

How to run a Momoka Verifier This video walks through how to run a Momoka Verifier on your local machine 👟 The Momoka Verifier enables you to operate a trustless verifier node that validates LENS DA publications in real-time. It can also serve as an indexer, allowing you to stream and index the data yourself. This open-source solution relies exclusively on software that you can run independently, without any dependency on LENS. This ensures that even if LENS were to cease operation, you would retain access to your content, maintain proof of ownership, and continue to utilize it, all thanks to a decentralized data availability storage layer.
What it’s like seeing Momoka in action

Hey Lens Frens, in our genesis post, we want to introduce ourselves 🌿 **Who We Are** Bundlr is a data layer providing scalable, performant, and seamless solutions to empower builders. We are a scaling solution for Arweave and currently process over 90% of its transactions. **Our Vision** Anyone should be able to discover, read, and write public information, forever. There should equally be an option to securely store private information. And all of this should happen without sacrificing performance, scalability, and the ease of use that users expect. We strive to turn these ideals into reality. **Why Use Bundlr?** Bundlr is the natural choice for any use case in which the permanence and provenance of data are important, especially when coupled with the need for low latencies and costs at high throughput. We are anticipating that Bundlr will become an integral component of not only decentralized social media, but also messaging, information archiving, and other use cases in which data might be vulnerable to censorship or unauthorized modification. **Want to learn more about us? Check out our blog** https://bundlr.mirror.xyz/sJpTh3kVJd3XIGIFJ_cmn5u4CoyxAC3Ujiif-QKEHq0 We’ll have some big news to share in the near future. Stay tuned 😊 ⚒️LFB ⚒️
gm, its 6am on a Monday and we have shipped 🚢 Curated Lens Creators is our attempt at curating lists of creators + their audiences for different types of promotional content. It's a data pipeline that does two things: - who are the top creators on lens based on activity, follows, post engagement, etc? - using the lens profile interests, use an ML/LDA model to infer a creator’s actual interest based on their content Need to promote an NFT Collection? DeFi Protocol upgrade? Music NFT drop? Latest creator tool? We're taking the first step towards offering curated lists as a service for lens clients; suggested follows, for you, promotional offers (cc @stani.lens) Our list is in beta and available for browsing. We're still working on the algo, so tags are not perfect - but if you're on the list, comment with your screenshot! https://creators.madfinance.xyz/creators/curated

Sharing your Lens post directly on Twitter
This is an interesting topic which crosses my mind a lot, I do not have kids yet, but I have a lot of side projects which I LOVE. As sad as it sounds, being on my computer coding is my happy place. Question to all the fathers out there when you had children, did that change? Did the motivation become harder? Did that drive in your shift? I’m not expecting kids yet, but it’s always something I wonder about. People love their kids, and some people change into completely different people.

Great piece in *The New Yorker* on the trend of DIY private clubs. In the past, private clubs were the exclusive based on wealth but today, theres a new generation of DIY grassroots private clubs forming to provide an IRL places for people from different backgrounds and industries to connect over curated social experiences. I couldn't help but turn my mind to Lens when reading it.... As a social layer, Lens has the potential to power a wide range of digital communities that can be just as stimulating. We're already seeing the formation of micro-communities within the Lens ecosystem, where people who may never have crossed paths are connecting over shared interests. - This comment left here by @punkess.lens today is an amazing example of that: https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0f85-0x16a1 - "Music Is Social" - IYKYK is another one Looking back at the magic of old-school Twitter, what drew many of us in was the openness and ability to discover and connect with people from completely different backgrounds. However, the challenge was often taking those connections to the next level, into deeper smaller space curated experiences. With Lens' ever-emerging front-ends providing more curation (e.g. @diversehq.lens launched today), digital community enabling tools (embedded governance in follower NFTs and publications), composability and ownership, we now have the ability to create meaningful connections throughout *the entire internet* on an open graph AND take them to more curated and defined experiences, fostering even deeper connections.

**🎶 ☁️ Track of the week ☁️ 🎶** Taken from Takashi Kokubo's score for an air-conditioner unit, this is his tropically-hued, electronic soundscape, called 'Underwater Dreaming' https://soundcloud.com/lagrecords/underwater-dreaming?in=lagrecords/sets/takashi-kokubo-a-dream-sails-out-to-sea-get-at-the-wave The Japanese approach to sound is all encompassing. Fictional characters, brands, ideas, even inanimate objects – like printers, wristwatches, and whiskey – have their own theme tunes, and original music created specifically for them. These kinds of compositions are referred to as an "image song", or an “image album”, both of which are audio impressions designed to give a multi-sensory experience. In 1987, Japanese composer and environmental sound designer Takashi Kokubo was enlisted to create the image album for a new line of high-end Sanyo air-conditioners. Though Kokubo's name might not be familiar, alongside his anime scores and avant-garde projects, he also crafted music that has reached virtually all of the Japanese public's ears – from mobile phone earthquake alerts to contactless card payment jingles, and beyond. Originally released as a promo album under the name *Get At The Wave*, the air-conditioner soundtrack was designed “to transport the consumer into a parade far away from the heat and hurry of urban life.” Achieving exactly that, the music is a portal into a magically calming island of Kokubo's own creation. A testament to the wondrousness of a reissue, this little-known record was unearthed for its first re-release in 2018 via LAG Records, lovingly remastered from the original tapes, and presented under a new name, *A Dream Sails Out To Sea (Get At The Wave).* #trackoftheweek #music #ambient #takashikokubo #ambientmusic #environmentalmusic #japan #japanesemusic #kankyoongaku #imagealbum @creators.lens @mixtape.lens @writers.lens

Lens Frens, Do you think we need #privacy in #DeFi? 🤔What do you think about the use of zero knowledge proofs in blockchain apps?🔒 I was at ETH Denver and had an impromptu interview with a TradFi guy and a lawyer and we started chatting about it. Comment your thoughts 💭
Who would like to “build in public” with us!? @edatweets.lens 👻 @aaveaave.lens 🌱 @lensprotocol

You don’t have time. You don’t have time to wait. You don’t have time to screw around. 2023 started nearly 5 months ago. Yesterday you said tomorrow. And nothing. Ignore everyone who says “You’re young, you have time”. No. You have no time. Chase everything now.!!!

Imagine if there would be a way to incentivize projects to start by sharing their post and progress on Lens. Maybe the collect feature could be a way to fund new projects that are important for the community.
