Our new governance report is live. We gave six communities money, total freedom, and an AI that could spend it for them, then watched how they chose to govern. A field study in AI-assisted governance, with @protocollabs @GainForestNow @OctantApp @hypercerts 👇

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, fund the commons.

Thanks to @maearthstudio for joining us for today's town hall! 🌱 A great session with @SophiaRokhlin & @bitbeckers on funding ecological regeneration and the open stack making it possible. Community donations for their next round open July 1, with a $500K matching pool.🙌

The best part of any town hall is the people in it. 🌱 Today, 10am ET with @maearthstudio: what funding ecological regeneration takes, how they built for it, and breakouts where you meet others in the space. luma.com/townhall-maearth

Happening tomorrow! 🌱

Are you stewarding land? 🌱 Restoring watersheds, growing food, protecting biodiversity, building resilient ecosystems... 🧵

In our next town hall, we're sitting down with the team at @OctantApp. We'll hear from @nicnode on the new Octant v2, and @arlery on what gets a public goods project funded, drawn from a dozen epochs and thousands of applications. May 18, 12 pm ET. 👇 luma.com/townhall-octant

What happens when AI digital twins help allocate a treasury? Our experiment with @dwddao's Simocracy: at Frontier Tower, community leads' AI twins read the proposals, argued their priorities, and deliberated together. With @hypercerts @OctantApp @ProtocolLabs @GainForestNow

Dunbar's number says humans can maintain stable relationships with about 150 people. Ostrom's principles hit the same limit. @dwddao of @protocollabs @GainForestNow on how to govern something the size of the Amazon and why AI might make it possible. 🌿 youtube.com/watch?v=pCTW0IKv…

Did you know the walkaway rule in AI governance came from kombucha? That cancer biology might be our blueprint for AI agents? And that only 0.1% of AI researchers are working on frontier safety? Enter the rabbit hole. 🐇 Talks from Intelligence at the Frontier are LIVE. 👇

The hardest questions in AI right now are not technical. They are about power, purpose, and who gets a say. This was Funding the Commons SF: Intelligence at the Frontier. We will be back this fall, stay tuned. 💫

You can't solve global challenges from inside your own ecosystem. 🌍 @XtXeXo from @UNDP AltFinLab on what real cross-sector collaboration looks like when the stakes are high.
