RT Francesco Andreoli ᵍᵐ (@francescoswiss)I had the pleasure to sit down with @ethereumJoseph, @ethereum co-founder + @Consensys founder and talk about his journey from neuroscience to AI to building Consensys & Ethereum.Some of my highlights:→ From neural nets & neuroscience to early AI experiments→ Lessons learned from AI winters→ Why lack of data & compute shaped the early years→ How Ethereum’s vision emerged as a trust layer for coordination→ The evolution from grassroots beginnings to global infrastruc ...

A hugely important, educational and entertaining contribution from Ethereum Community protectoor @0xzak. NSFW, especially in North Korea.Careful what you click on.

Holding LINEA tokens signals that you are a Linea community member and are likely engaged in productive Linea Economy activities: building, liquidity provision / staking, using, collecting, ....So if we notice, at some da ...
