Perhaps the most compelling—and the most likely—force to power tech in the 2020s is artificial intelligence. AI has improved dramatically within the past few years.

Devon Zuegel • Part 3: The first walkable city in America in a century
Here are some of the details from the initiative that stand out to me:
Emphasis on walking, biking, & high quality transit: Compact development is at the core of this proposal. It leads to walkability and enables efficient, high-quality transit services. This not only reduces carbon emissions but also fosters a sense of community and accessibility. Imagine being able to walk or bike to most of your destinations, with public transport as a convenient option for longer trips. The city plans to embrace townhomes and small apartment buildings that create gentle density, moving away from the sprawling single-family homes that dominate much of American suburbia. This approach allows for more people to live in a smaller area, preserving natural spaces and reducing the need for long commutes.
To run a profitable and scalable business, you want LTV > CAC. Currently, w e have rising CACs and less scalable, measurable acquisition-and it's all happening in a recessionary market environment.

Digital Object Applications
For the first time in human history, blockchains empower any digital object to enjoy the properties of verifiable scarcity, durability, divisibility, and globally networked markets.
As a result, these internet-optimized objects now have the same or greater potential to become globally networked as a (1) product/service; o... See more

Key Ideas
The core question explored in this post: do highly decentralized DAOs work, or should their governance start to more closely resemble trad corporations?
Vitalik's main point: there are certain use cases where decentralization is very important. There may be a relatively small number of these orgs, but they will be the very important ones.

Vitalik Buterin • DAOs are not corporations: where decentralization in autonomous organizations matters
DAOs will likely become large networks with shared incentives and coordination tools, made up of smaller units (which can still be quite bit) that act in a more directed and centralized way.
