The next 15-20 years are going to be wild.
AI, Quantum, & Fusion are all very real. We're getting close to a world of incredible abundance (and probably a lot of mess as things reorganize).
And all are reasons why digital scarcity matters.
@Kieran An event tomorrow is trying to live stream to zap.stream and youtube at the same time. Is the stream forwarding feature in zap.stream solid/stable or is it beta?
The next Marmot Dev Call is this upcoming Tuesday (Nov 4) at 1600 UTC.
We'll cover the new specs for encrypted media and our proposal for notifications.
I've also recently talked several people building on Marmot so we'll leave time at the end of the call for demos too! 💪 Who's going to step up??

The thing that everyone who pushes for digital ID and "proof of personhood" fails to understand is that IT DOESN'T MATTER if you're a person or an AI agent. What matters is whether or not we can trust you.
Humans have built up very complex internal heuristics for dealing with strangers but we've, so far, done a terrible job of modeling and enabling those mechanisms in a digital world.
Identity and content linked by cryptography can help fix this.
Giving the state unchecked surveillance powers does not fix anything.
