GM Virtuals Fam on Farcaster

Expect airdrop to be completed sometime later today. To those that are eligible to claim the airdrop, we want this to be your gateway into exploring AI agents in the Virtuals ecosystem. Hence we highly encourage you to stake your airdropped $VIRTUAL on https://app.virtuals.io/lock. 

Doing so will start earning you points and the ability to take part in governance proceedings (more on this later this week)

[Important] Should you decide to toggle Auto Max-lock Mode you will be rewarded with more Virtual in the coming days. Snapshot for stakers happens 48 hours post airdrop. 

See example on how to stake via Auto MaxLock Mode below:

Big accounts who dedicate enough time to thoughtfully interact with your followers - I salute you

I get more than 10 comments once, and then I spend at least half an hour to reciprocate with the replies that make at least some sense

How you have energy to do this all day every day is above my pay grade. I kinda wanna know but at the same time I absolutely don’t

I realize now that a nontrivial amount of network states are adult summer camps with better branding

Covid seems to have permanently changed conveyor belt sushi. Everything is made on order now

As neighboring nations accelerated into the digital age—adopting AI, fintech, and smart infrastructure—Syria remained digitally stranded, crippled by years of conflict, systemic collapse, and the large-scale departure of its educated and skilled population.

Beyond the physical devastation, sweeping international sanctions isolated the country from vital digital platforms, financial systems, and essential tools like cloud services or navigation apps. Under Assad’s regime, tight control over the internet, censorship, and limited digital rights have stifled both expression and innovation. The divide is staggering: less than 40% of Syrians are connected to the internet, and over 90% are trapped below the poverty line. What should be a gateway to opportunity has instead become yet another barrier.

overwhelming feedback from new users is that the content on farcaster is often too farcaster-centric.

sharing a few topics i would love to read more on farcaster (and please lmk if any of these are in your wheelhouse bc i would love to help amplify!):

1. popular culture! trend analyses and insights on culture (and not crypto culture). tell us what do gen z and gen alpha (and sure, millennial) consumers care about. i know "men in tech" may not care about this, but plenty of women *do* and there's a lot of us here!

2. start ups! tell us which startups are hitting milestones, getting funding, growing exponentially — and tell us whether you think they are worthwhile businesses or not.

3. data-centric information about technology, the economy, psychology, and everyday life. i love seeing data visualizations behind things that we know and love.

4. more SCIENCE! tell us how pigs could solve the organ donor crisis or why sunshine is good for the immune system. anything!

what do you want to read more of here?

This self-driving route in western Wuhan is very filmy. I recommend it to you.
