Proud to announce @mbd's personalization engine is powering the Coinbase Wallet feed!! We've been working hard with the Base team these past months and couldn't have dreamed of better partners to democratize feed technologies. Still day one. ❜embed algos coming soon to all mini apps near you!

"continue" might be the worst-named keyword in python. Like, consider this code: for i in range(100): if i % 5 == 0: continue print(i) It prints out numbers that are not multiples of 5. But if you give it to someone who is not experienced in python, they might think the exact opposite!

If the point of custody is to ensure that investments are responsibly stewarded, then regulation should focus on actual safeguards and protections, not rigid legal classifications. This flow chart shows how it could work.

“The meaning of the word ‘credit’ is ‘trust’. And yet over the years as commercial banking has become institutionalized, it has built its entire edifice on the basis of mutual distrust.” - Muhammad Yunis

In 2025 we’ll see the first internet religion spread by memetic propagation and driven by agents. Populalists and dictators will have the highest incentive. In 2040 it will be bigger than Christianity. Perhaps $TRUMP is the first example.

crypto has 617m users but only 5-10% end up actively engaging in on chain activities - how crazy is that? There is an acquisition dogfight happening in the existing bull market but why not maximise your existing user base and make them sticky long term? @mbd has a cool solution.

We're launching 0xRec, an AI accelerator program powered by our team of machine learning personalization talents at @mbd. This is part of a broader push for client diversity. The idea is to help small innovative teams get really good at providing the very best onchain content to their users. If we want to retain users beyond this cycle, web3 apps will need to compete head-to-head vs. web2 powerhouses. We think that we, as a space, can do better than what exists today and give user's more agency over their experiences and feeds. --- Some of the benefits of the program include dedicated support from us and free access (up to $100k worth of credits) to our AI models for personalization, moderation and discovery. Learn more + register link in the article, or DM me w/ questions: https://paragraph.xyz/@yassinelanda.eth/introducing-the-0xrec-program-by-mbd

Here’s a view that might upset 1 or 2 people: Crypto x AI is not a category. “x AI” is a tag that can be put into any sector in tech given AI’s universal utility. The most interesting AI teams in crypto (like @yassinelanda.eth at @mbd) are focused on how to solve mass adoption, not how to create another pie in the sky web3 narrative. Critics will argue that AI needs to be permissionless and decentralized. It definitely does, but so does every other technology, so let’s focus on making real products people need. AI is either the product with crypto features (e.g agents on chain or algorithms on chain) or vice versa. In very very rare cases both can hold, but I’ve yet to see a great example. Have you?

Looking for a fun idea to try with ChatGPT? With GPT-4o, ask it: ‘Based on what you know about me, create an illustration of what you imagine my current life to be like.’ Here’s what it came up with for me: I interpret mine as work to be free (or just that I enjoy beaches a lot). Not sure where the glasses fetish has come from though. 😎

A lifetime away. Great to be in Rajkot, Gujarat seeing how humble, caring and selfless these communities are. Makes you realise how much Western Democracies have to learn.

1/3 Excited to announce that @mbd has secured $3M in pre-seed funding to bring AI-powered recommender systems to Farcaster builders! Co-led by @masknetwork, @polymorphicvc w/ participation from @a16zcrypto /CSX, @socialgraphvc, Forward Research and WAGMI. Creating engaging clients—whether trading-focused, art & NFT-focused, or even AI agents—requires more than open access to raw data. To sustainably engage users, applications must deliver personalized, spam-free quality content to their users. Since early 2023 at @mbd, we’ve been building advanced machine-learning recommendation systems pre-trained on Farcaster data and designed to deliver dynamic, relevant content and actions tailored to each user. All are accessible through a dead simple API.

As we enter the final hours of US Election Day, it’s clear that AI has made a profound impact on democracy. Here are two examples of innovations that highlight AI’s potential to make democratic participation more accessible, adaptable, and user-centered. 𝟭. 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘀: Leonard & some Denver high school kids from mostly immigrant families built an AI app (VoteWise Colorado) to help their parents and people like them vote 2. 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗹𝗴𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗺 𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽: Companies like what @yassinelanda.eth & mbd.xyz are pioneering user-centered approaches by allowing individuals to own their algorithms and control the content they see, quietening reliance on centralized algorithms. By reducing this dependency, mbd.xyz empowers users to counter echo chambers and minimize the manipulation often found in AI-driven feeds.

My first Brain Computer Interface. This week I saw my brain data being listened to whilst hearing Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon (clouds = excitement!) Turns out my brain was pretty responsive generating crazy cloud patterns. By creating new feedback loops between neural activity, audio, and visuals, it was so serene.
