I'll be chatting with Sreeram Kannan about intersubjective consensus and other esoterica on the protocol town hall in 5 minutes. We'll try to get to the bottom of what the heck Eigenlayer is, and why it matters. www.youtube.com/live/2OyZt4g...

I’d like to commission a solid nonfiction piece for Protocolized on MCP (model context protocol) by someone who has played with it hands-on, and has a sense of the philosophical and design issues around protocols for AIs.

"...convergence indicates an overall lack of trust in established institutions and a willingness to find alternative avenues when it comes to securing a desirable future. The promise of meritocratic upward mobility has lost its credibility, and people are looking for ways to bet on a better future."

"Such fractious eras can be terrible to live through, as we are all finding out now, but they do have a silver lining: They create an opening for the ordinary individual to gain agency at the expense of both kinds of elites...These gains typically take a very particular form: better protocols."
