For a lot of 'longform generative algos' the best outputs are phenomenal and make you go "ooo wonderful" but then 50% are mediocre and another 20-40% verge on actively undesirable. I'm not sure why this is an acceptable status quo tbh. Would much prefer curated outputs than this

the hypercastle slowly decays over time, it’s lifetime is prolonged by 1 year everytime a collector “terraforms” a parcel they own. terraforming essentially adds a layer of art to the parcel that you can think of as graffiti. this means it has a theoretical lifespan of 10k years

i think actually intense narrative/cult formation is a response to this condition; all collectors know that supply is technically infinite and so the scarce resource is narrative liquidity

Collectors and artists in this space have yet to truly reckon with the massive elephant in the room: the ease with which new supply can be generated (especially with generative - algorithmic or AI processes) vastly outpaces any previous art scene or market. not priced in (ZERO).

an appropriate metaphor for ethereum is probably a city, you never want your city to go "mainstream" what you want is to continue to attract new and interesting people at a steady rate who contribute interesting things to the city's unique economy and culture
