Creator AI Tools, Inventing Our Destruction, and Socrates

This week you’ll understand that some Creators will lose the AI war, some will benefit immensely, but we’ve got to start paying attention today.
Hormozi Bets on Skool, Creator Communities, and the Bank of Trust

This week we’re talking about Creator Communities and by the end you’ll understand that if you create content you have a community whether you realize it or not

This week we’re talking about platform algorithms.
And by the end you’ll understand why YouTube (and everyone else) is a content platform, not a channel platfo
I love names.
There is just something magical about the pointers we use as humans to reference complex ideas
Anyway, this cast is just an excuse to say that I think Pathfinder is one of the coolest names for a military school I’ve found 🫡
There is no payoff for founders critiquing rich VCs on FC but I am filled w the spirit today…
Who the fuck is this cast for?
It’s not an inherently funny joke
The art isn’t interesting
It’s a commentary on arbitrary enforcement for pricing rules but like… that’s <1000 people’s problem globally?
*deep breath*
Merkle Manufactory is a private, VC funded startup
They are building:
Farcaster - the protocol
Warpcast - the client
Farcaster is like email - a permissionless technical standard that any machine can post to/read from
Warpcast is like gmail - an opinionated app used to access Farcaster protocol data
What we all need to understand is that a lot of people that post on the internet (and i mean A LOT) are either completely clueless or literally on drugs or both
Introducing: Seemore qDAU Score 👀
If we want Farcaster to be the infra for a new social internet...
We gotta build public goods to accelerate alt clients AND those goods can't be held captive by the incentives of crypto giants
Plus scores are fun to argue about 🫡
/lounge is an experiment in public-private content 😮💨
Find out wtf that actually means today at 2pm ET during a surprise @unlonely stream 👀

Introducing: Seemore's "Thread to Frame" Tool 👀
We teased this Monday, saw the demand, and decided to skip a beta and just freaking ship it.
It's as simple as...
1. Cast your thread
2. Input the warpcast url below
3. Cast the new url to display your frame!

If you’re new here, returning, or just someone who wants to get more out of Farcaster, I put a lot of heart into this essay.
No growth hacks or schemes.
Just real thoughts on how to express to the community that you’re here to be part of the Scenius 🫡
One of my big strong opinions, loosely held is…
You gotta ship your creative shit early, fast, and furiously because your first 100 creations are unoriginal, trope-filled, and derivative (not an insult) because that’s all you can learn from just consuming
Execution + Feedback Loops is how you find your voice 🫡
gm to Java Joe!

My grandfather cried when he watched me play Assassin’s Creed for the first time in 2007.
He said he’d never imagined computers would be able to make something so beautiful and I never forgot that.
Everyone here is building the future with magic rocks and I think that’s so fucking cool.
Finishing up an essay to help new casters get up to speed with Farcaster!
Would love to beef up the section on Farcaster lore + timeline of significant events.
What's your favorite Farcaster lore/history/event?
(share a link if you have one 👀)
I’m not passionate or informed enough about Warpcast to advocate for any design change to its product.
However, I’d love to develop Dan’s vision for Warpcast into a brand strategy and identity that gives it a platform to scale to a larger audience and carve out a proper cozy corner as the web3 social landscape evolves over time.
yeah uhhh yeah i still need (want?) to work with that amount unless i leave nyc and live … somewhere else lol 🙃
and tbh uhhhh this sorta happened to me during NFT 2021-22 boom and not only did i keep designing - i designed _harder_ bc 1) i kinda felt nothing 2) those bags went to near zero 🤣
during that time i learned that ya money is cool but grinding with your Life Energy (@july) toward an i...
Thanks @cameron for hosting the lounge!
Now warpcast, not sure if there’s anything big enough I’d redesign, given the priorities and limitations of the team.
It’s not always about designing but about actually shipping it to many many people to use again and again
I’d take a look if we have enough of features already but not doubling down on basics, things help farcaster scale, and I’m sure te...
- Brand sprint to get a real logo and visual identity that communicates the spirit of Warpcast in a way that resonates with non-technical audiences
- Better handling of channels on mobile. The stories carousel is the wrong paradigm.
- Ability to associate web2 oauth accounts (Twitter, Insta, Spotify, Goodreads) with my FID
- Experiments solely focused on increasing diversity of DAUs (gender ide...
Give recasts the respect they deserve: skip the algorithm heuristics and surface them as if I casted them myself while the original caster captures all the incoming engagement.
Bangers can't bang if they don't have a chance to spread organically.
Otherwise we're just stuck talking about crypto and founders 24/7
It's funny, my instinct was to say no
But then I looked back at my actual journey so far and life kicked into gear when I made my peace with the fact that I'm a designer. Why would I not do it before? Don't know. Guess I didn't want to pigeonhole myself. But there's beauty in focus, as in making things
Going back to the question, design is my career and I do have goals - 2 mil is not enough to g...
We have reached the LAST question of /lounge Season 3: Designers 😯
Huge thanks to all the extremely talented and thoughtful Loungers in this cohort (go hire them rn)
What other question could I ask but…
Given unlimited authority, what would you redesign about Warpcast today?
🫡
1000% would continue to design.
not much would change in terms of work, as i already am cautious / selective with who i work with.
the only thing that would change would be the technology, swag, & more philanthropy. my goal has always been to become a high tech, swagged out G that betters every community i'm apart of so with said money i'd simply fulfill my self-proclaimed prophecy 🪬🪬🪬
pr...
Definitely would.
First thing, I’d move to a better place as my home base, where basic necessities are solved like water quality, sound and air pollution, indoor humidity/mold etc.
Second I'd slow down and focus on one idea at a time, right now I feel like I can't afford working on one idea/product, focused, for the whole day.
I’d do more of the founder work than hands on design, most of the t...
- do NOT switch on the computer first
- get a clear idea of MIT for that day (talk or walk or write)
- tell clients I'm not gonna be 100%
- take a nap after lunch
I don't think I have a perfect creative environment. I always listen to music when I work, usually a DJ playlist. It's more about being able to get in the zone, and it's not really related to where I'm working from 🙃
Would I still design, if money was not an issue?
I don't know if I would work as a designer, but I would definitely would work. (I firmly believe that work gives meaning and structure to life.)
When I think about it, I wouldn't actually change anything.
I would perhaps take more time to travel and maybe do something like a grand tour (Bildungsreise) and write boring travel guides. 😉😂
Absolutely.
First thing I'd do is create financial stability. Pay off my student loans, buy a house in Austin and sabbatical to find somewhere to settle when I'm ready to leave Austin. I'd invest as much of the rest as possible to secure enough passive income to cover monthly expenses.
Without financial pressure, I would only be interesting in working on personal projects and high-impact public ...
Would absolutely still design, but would probably first take a sabbatical and think seriously about less conventional career paths (passion projects, contracting, education, etc.) that are less financially stable + more fulfilling holistically
Another Lounger sourced /lounge prompt - this time from @baseddesigner.eth 🫡
Would you still design if you got $2m out of nowhere?
What would you do differently (if anything)?
Hungover or not, still gotta face the beast head on:
- Wake up ~6:30-7:30am
- Drink water
- Catch some sun rays asap, garden and/or backyard hang with the cats
- Throw on one of my playlists that matches the vibe of the day ahead: https://open.spotify.com/user/tg9mfnj659umro5u1l4fzsaas?si=2d0c16c008254328

New /seemore update ,
Let's do a personal analysis refer to @seemorebot data :
-my art and motivational casts especially in /superrare get the most interactions even with non-artist people !
-my diversity in casting from several topics and channels has been increased . (Specially in random & Business) My most fave ones .
Some suggestions and maybe criticism:
-most of the suggested channels ar...
Since I started creating here, I've been struggling to find the right balance between running the channel, growing my account, and dedicating time to my creative work.
Seemore has truly been a huge help for me.
It’s not obvious yet… but this problem is exactly why I started /seemore
Creators just want to create.
Unfortunately, they gotta figure out how to make money too so they support their main passion 🫡
Just now, I received an analysis of my casts from last week from /seemore .
It's very helpful to have such DC since it would be difficult to measure detailed numbers by myself.
Last week, my hypothesis didn't yield the results I expected, so I'll apply the insights from this analysis to my activities this week.
I reached zero negativity this week! 🌻 🌈
Wonder which one was my sports cast?
And I was worried I casted too much about food but 12% is quite ok.
Thanks for the insights @seemorebot
Hey @cameron, good job today!
How are things going? If you need any screenshots or logs, please let me know. I’m here to help you resolve the issue together.👍
Alternatively, if it has been partially monetized in a flawed manner, it would be fine to reset and start over.
If you signed up for a free /seemore profile and are thinking about upgrading, here is what my $5/mo page looks like.
I was able to customize my colors so specifically that I was able to enter my favorite HEX codes
I was able to link to:
- my Warpcast data
- X
- Instagram
- Facebook
- 2 websites

- My print shop
- My Amazon author page
