Weekly Learnings #12

Gm fam,

Here is a quick list of things I found fascinating this week. Enjoy!

Web3

1/ CAMP is hosting Doodles in Chicago for a multi-month in-store experience. Past collaborations included big names like Disney and Nike.

2/ Cool Cats, Doodles, and 0N1 Force marked the NFT presence at Comic-Con. Love seeing NFT brands go mainstream.

3/ The Simpsons will trash NFTs in their upcoming fall episode. 😅 Physical posters are already available on eBay.

4/ The Opepen Threadition dominated NFT Twitter timelines this week. The celebration of NFT culture generating $106,900 in proceeds so far.

5/ Punk6529 shares why he still believes in ENS. It's like directing friends to twitter.com instead of 54.163.134.23.

AI

1/ Apple is testing Apple GPT and developing generative AI tools to rival OpenAI. The first AI features will hit our devices in 2024.

2/ Imagine a South Park episode entirely created by AI without a touch of a human. Pretty insane. Soon, turning books into exact movie adaptations might be reality.

Creator Economy

1/ Threads user engagement is down 70% and continues to drop. Is the honeymoon phase over?

2/ Twitter's gearing up to pay creators for ads viewed on their profiles. Elon says the creator fund is set to double.

Personal Growth

1/ I've been following this simple morning routine for a couple of months. An amazing easy fix to get better sleep and more energy throughout the day.

2/ If you get into business to solve problems, you’ll make money.

3/ Learn from the past but don't let it hold you back.

That’s all for this week.

Thank you for reading,
