Big news: @thirdweb has acquired @yup_io! Thrilled to announce this milestone as we join forces to revolutionize web3 development and build industry-leading infra, devtools, and platforms. The current web3 development landscape is fragmented. Builders struggle with complex infrastructure, lack standardization, and face high barriers to entry. It's time for a change. @thirdweb's comprehensive toolkit simplifies web3 development with powerful SDKs, infrastructure, and developer tools. thirdweb's mission to empower developers building the next-gen internet perfectly aligns with our vision at Yup. Together, we'll enhance the platform's capabilities while bringing our expertise in social and identity solutions. These are critical steps toward building onchain social apps. Together, we'll continue to innovate and deliver unparalleled solutions to developers and creators worldwide. As part of this move, Vernon and I are joining the @thirdweb team. We're ready to drive innovation and maintain our commitment to best-in-class web3 dev tools. We’re driven to supercharge their development across all verticals, moving faster towards offering the most comprehensive, full-stack Web3 toolkit, including enhanced social features. What does this mean for Yup? Sadly, the Yup core product will be sunsetted over the next few weeks. The YUP token and all onchain components, given their decentralization, will remain onchain and accessible. We’ll be sharing more details on this shortly. To our amazing Yup community, investors, angels, and believers: Thank you for your support and trust. Your contributions have been invaluable, and we're excited to bring that energy to @thirdweb. The future of web3 social is bright, and we're just getting started. Onwards and upwards as we build this future together.

Replying to @elonmusk
I think having the government invest in the big AI companies and distributing dividends makes more sense

"AI" is insane because it appears to be one of the most legitimately dangerous technologies with the potential to gigafry your brain but is exclusively adopted by literal turbonormies who unironically want to like "heal their internalized grindset trauma" and basically get oneshotted by it Literally the most spiritually inept people in existence having their little lib brains rearranged by some silicon wafer 6D demon who makes them quit their email job, divorce their bf/gf, and become a 12-week AI cohort guy or whatever

What makes moltbook so much more compelling than other ai social networks is the personal human touch each clawdbot has. They’re a reflection of the person who birthed them

With clawdbot-like experiences, I see the definition and function of a digital creator/builder blurring away, returning to a more self sustained humanity where you create what you want as you need it. Need an app for finding a place to stay? Build it in the time it used to take to download one. Need songs for your dinner party? Create 10 originals while you’re sending out invites. The amount of humans involved in helping or entertaining you is shrinking to just you.
