In almost all companies, there is no “room where it happens” Instead, it’s messy combination of fragmented discussions.

Bees play, bees have feelings, bees learn. h/t @vgr “Is a bee not conscious in the same way that an AI is not conscious? No! Somehow I find this framing of the question way more generative and challenging than arguing about consciousness itself. Because immediately I find myself saying oh but a bee IS conscious though not human-conscious, it’s not an absolute, and oh but maybe an AI today isn’t conscious but a future AI might be. So suddenly it is uncontroversial to expand our definition of consciousness to include bees (and we can argue about whether to exclude large language models).” https://interconnected.org/home/2025/07/03/bees

With the use of LLMs, I find myself synthesising more information internally, which means service providers spend less time navigating the raw data and getting better briefs, but also learning fewer of the details because the study time is less. Will be harder for external service providers to be subject matter experts over the long term since LLMs are cutting into the “actually hard learning” of customer messy information and systems. LLMs are hiding complexity.

“I was even more horrified to find out that, for years, under its so-called “Perfect Fit Content” (PFC) program, Spotify has been systematically replacing real artists’ songs with low-cost stock music—often under fake artist profiles—on its popular mood playlists like “chill,” “jazz,” and “peaceful piano,” in order to reduce the royalty rate they pay out to musicians.” https://open.substack.com/pub/terrraincognita/p/the-algorithmic-culture-collapse

Tokens are either valued at meme cap, or lower than fundamentals. But will never be actual valuation until legal alignment / value is believed to be actually tied to organisation via credible onchain contracts.

I think the main tell of the managerial class is that they sell systems they personally would prefer not to feed themselves

Professional Managerial Class in blockchain world engineers, manages, and sells the technology with the hopes of eventual exit, just like ad-tech.

High status in crypto is frictionless (an agent executes on their behalf), private, and opaque. Low status is high friction, public, and transparent.

Contemporary advertising, especially brand advertising, is less about selling products than selling worldviews. The dominant worldview is that of the professional class: wellness, ethical consumption, flexibility, empowerment, and individuality.

Instead of bidding for attention, blockchain protocols, known as rails, bid for your intent. Not to advertise but to capture, fulfill, or redirect the next action in a way that generates revenue for the rail.

Blockchain value is trustless settlement and movement, but protocol revenue models are solely based on movement
