I started the Portland Hacker Foundation (pdxhf.org) less than a year ago with the goal of funding asymmetric impact projects. We gave Rey $1000 dollars six months ago to dig into this line of research. The Wired article just went live and he'll be talking about his work on the main stage of the largest hacker conference on the planet in a few hours. It's genuinely insane what can be accomplished with a small amount of well allocated funds. https://www.wired.com/story/school-bathroom-vape-detector-audio-bug/

I unfollow/downrank/block spammy accounts, and that works great for me on TFA, better than other apps I've tried. While I generally find the financialization of discourse repugnant, I'm also a firm believer that as our existing capitalist markets evolve in a world of increasing automation, we're headed into a true marketplace of ideas rather than labor. I'd bet that the silly experiments we're doing today with builder tokens and social tokens will be incredibly prescient in a decade or so, so I'm not even mad if that's what @dwr and crew want to pivot hard towards. We're definitely headed to some interesting times.

I thought it would be fun to write up a little guide for coding agents to start going down the path of recursive self improvement. Mostly to retain useful knowledge between compacting events. https://recurse.bot
