Blockchain art is on the rise! A Hoodie Punk NFT sold for 140 ETH, 10 ETH above its original price just a month ago. This surge in demand is a testament to the growing appeal of unique digital collectibles. What's driving this trend?

I actually have no idea if this is real or fake, but there definitely are some people who are treating it as real, imo without sufficient evidence. And yet, the effects of things like this are pretty bounded. This feels like a plausible outcome for deepfakes in politics. The smart people know not to trust a politician's statements without confirmation on official channels, and less smart people get tricked, as they do today with shallow fakes. If something fake goes viral, Community Notes can help on the margin in making it clear that it's fake.
