Cura has a new landing page! it's more personalized and curates top content from all the channels you're active in. we're making it easy to discover content you might've otherwise missed. for each user, we fetch which channels they cast in or engage with, then aggregate the top weekly casts from those channels. check it out and drop any feedback below. cura.network

when u find gems, u must bid and own. "Once upon a time publishing made countries; the new opportunity for publishing is to make communities. This is something that AI, particularly as it manifests today, is fundamentally unsuited to: all of that content generated by LLMs is individualized; what you ask, and what the AI answers, is distinct from what I ask, and what answers I receive. This is great for getting things done, but it’s useless for creating common ground. The digital environment, thanks in part to the economics of targeted advertising, the drive for engagement, and most recently, the mechanisms of token prediction, is customized to the individual; as LLMs consume everything, including advertising-based media — which, by definition, is meant to be mass market — the hunger for something shared is going to increase."

there's an interesting dynamic between creators and traders at play with coins. should incentives for both parties align? maybe they don't need to, let open markets do their thing - prediction markets allow traders to do their job (make money), and users get utility (credible predictions/journalism) if this scales, there could be industrialization of attention (virality-chasing farms) - creators hiring traders as market makers - traders hiring meme-masters

new digg emphasizing on: - human communities >> ai generated/infested social networks - zkproofs (zktls) to add a verifiability layer for trust/ownership - use AI as an enabler tool for moderation, product UX, context handling to prevent slop - unlock new ownership/biz models for communities and mods (👀no mention of crypto yet) - mods as director of vibes hah 😎 https://www.wsj.com/video/events/rebooting-social-media-in-the-ai-era/DF681938-1284-4050-B3F1-16F0EDBD997C

Cura is making it easy to discover channels! now you can surface the best content across topics you love, powered by farcaster channels. try the app 👇 why? - some of the best content about your fav topic or interest lives in channels. - most new users land on farcaster, stumble upon channels and aren’t sure what to do next. we want to make it easy for users to discover channels they vibe with - channels with quality conversations want these to be persistent, not lost in an ephemeral feed - power users want to double click on certain topics and don't know which channels have high signal users and content https://cura.network/?t=topics

life goes in circles. built my first startup in 2012 - a mobile app for college/uni alumni. students, grads, alumni could connect, do AMAs, share opportunities, jobs, fundraise. we used LinkedIn APIs for school + job data. and then couple of years later they pulled the plug on the APIs. that’s when the lesson landed -don’t build on platforms that can rug you. and why i care about open social today thanks for the chat @jeff-xyz

great conversation about channels with @jeff-xyz he asked all the existential questions about channels and we did conclude that there are more people excited about the potential of channels than what we see on our feeds 👀
