What I learned getting acquired by Google - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/What-I-learned-getting-acquired-by-Google?index=0x654d9ce00978904cb3d0a44f16c8b0c9dd7e9489858b0645ba0224b85b6d57039345d61c - Source: https://shreyans.org/google - Submitted by destiner.eth, 5 upvotes, 0 comments The author, a former Socratic co-founder, argues that amazing things are possible at Google if you know how to play its internal game, though many good ideas stall because of reviews, reorgs and process buildup. Socratic was acquired by Google in March 2018 after a competitive process that included Microsoft, Chegg, Byju's and Google, and the team was then rebuilt on Google's stack. The post says that over three years the team relaunched Socratic as "Socratic by Google," shipped features in Search and Lens, and built capabilities used across Google. It also describes process debt, such as Google's performance review being cut from twice a year to once. ## 9. The Case for Decentralized Social Media - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/The-Case-for-Decentralized-Social-Media?index=0x654934f08dc541ff96c98fdafe57a0d3fcbd93e04f7e77a21815b554f4ec1061cbc80ec9 - Source: https://jpegs.banklesshq.com/p/the-case-for-web3-socials - Submitted by misha, 5 upvotes, 0 comments Drew Beechler, CEO and founder of Holder, argues that decentralized social media should succeed, citing four advantages: on-chain social graphs, programmatic incentives and monetization, permissionless platforms, and interoperable data. He says on-chain social graphs let builders work around the cold start problem and give users a portable social graph tied to their wallet address. He points to Lens and Farcaster, which have spawned a dozen clients including Orb, Hey, Warpcast and Aburra, as examples of permissionless development. The piece also cites Brian Armstrong's view that decentralized social is one of his top contenders for winning in the next crypto cycle. ## 10. Thoughts on New Political Communities by Matt Prewitt - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Thoughts-on-New-Political-Communities-by-Matt-Prewitt?index=0x654a02a6d26ac99c12b5c3b55661efefd9e97d46f0b9319c6f44a286473b36c36b24e5d3 - Source: https://www.radicalxchange.org/media/blog/secret-societies-network-states-burning-man-zuzalu-and-more - Submitted by jannikluhn.eth, 4 upvotes, 0 comments Matt Prewitt argues that new community initiatives such as Zuzalu and "Network States" should be judged by how well they build social coherence, which he treats as a kind of technology that measures progress in other domains. He sorts advocates into affinity-communitarians, individualist-escapers and responsible experimenters, and says each group has distinct ways of failing. Prewitt holds that storytelling, art and wisdom traditions were early tools of human cooperation, and that efforts to build clearer shared stories deserve the same support as other technical work. The excerpt ends mid-discussion of involuntary associations and shared obligations. ## 11. Who doesn’t want fame, love, and money? - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Who-doesnt-want-fame-love-and-money?index=0x654df743348d0ee4560023045ee272d24272d238cbdf0acace37bce229817d6c0299f311 - Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoS4oRzmnF8 - Submitted by macbudkowski.eth, 5 upvotes, 0 comments ## 12. On bridging the web2-web3 gap - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/On-bridging-the-web2-web3-gap?index=0x654e11c70aafc12be5eb66ef31583ae9c58b36484ee6962f8a6199b6ad90254c6b097ac2 - Source: https://open.substack.com/pub/bootstrappingkiwi/p/on-bridging-the-web2-web3-gap?r=3ptcv - Submitted by tim, 5 upvotes, 0 comments A large gap between web2 and web3 users looks hard to bridge, and disguised "web 2.5" apps such as Warpcast and Privy have not closed it. Warpcast cryptographically signs messages while looking like a Twitter clone, and Privy hides wallets in the backend, yet the Kiwi News founder has found no web2 user happy to be converted, and users usually realize they are entering crypto when a product limitation is mentioned. New users of Kiwi News would first have to bridge funds into Optimism, and the founder argues that showing the system as it is seems more honest and structurally scalable. ## 13. Introducing GPTs - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Introducing-GPTs?index=0x654933a0853c633e369e1fd5eef6334a2d6e193940ad9fa4296a7ad8e87100ce018728ea - Source: https://openai.com/blog/introducing-gpts - Submitted by macbudkowski.eth, 4 upvotes, 0 comments OpenAI is rolling out GPTs, customized versions of ChatGPT that users can create for specific purposes without coding and share with others. Creation is done by starting a conversation, giving instructions and extra knowledge, and choosing capabilities such as web search, image creation or data analysis. Example GPTs such as Canva and Zapier AI Actions are available now to ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise users, and the GPT Store is set to launch later this month, featuring creations by verified builders. Enterprise customers can also deploy internal-only GPTs, with early users including Amgen, Bain and Square. ## 14. New models and developer products announced at OpenAI DevDay - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/New-models-and-developer-products-announced-at-OpenAI-DevDay?index=0x654934805f641dbbb11eb9e73a4863440ef282aea0fc1e0b81e3b28b037f8f21827a4ec6 - Source: https://openai.com/blog/new-models-and-developer-products-announced-at-devday - Submitted by macbudkowski.eth, 4 upvotes, 0 comments OpenAI released the Assistants API beta, a tool for developers to build agent-like experiences inside their own applications. The API adds Code Interpreter, Retrieval and function calling, and it keeps persistent, infinitely long threads so developers do not have to manage thread state or work around context window limits. The article states that data passed to the API is never used to train OpenAI's models, and that developers can try the beta in the Assistants playground without writing code. OpenAI is also launching a limited, expensive Custom Models program in which selected organizations work with its researchers to train custom GPT-4 models for their domains, typically with datasets of billions of tokens at minimum. ## 15.

The post says current AI infrastructure lacks guarantees of computational integrity, privacy and censorship-resistance, and is hosted by a few centralized corporations. Its first product, Infernet, lets smart contracts access AI models for inference, and Ritual announced a $25m Series A led by Archetype. ## 17. Taking curation to the next level: Kiwi Product Update - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Taking-curation-to-the-next-level-Kiwi-Product-Update?index=0x654e5c5b1d306e289f8d4efdfc8aa92beb44f75018653fd0f60374283d111fdd93fef478 - Source: https://paragraph.xyz/@kiwi-updates/kiwi-update - Submitted by macbudkowski.eth, 7 upvotes, 0 comments Kiwi, a community-curated media platform, reports that it has 1,200+ monthly readers and 80+ monthly curators and has shipped a range of product updates since its last update.

The update also notes that the team distributed 10,000 GoerliETH to teams across several ETH events and received the 3rd Purple Grants and 1st Warpcast grants. ## 18.

The extension brings GitHub Copilot into the terminal, where users can ask it to explain how a command works or suggest a command for a task they want to perform. Documentation for the extension is available, and feedback is collected through the project's repository. ## 19.

The article tells the story of Barbara, a 67-year-old woman whose daughter described her move from a Pepe meme to QAnon content, which ended with her separation from her family. Matt Furie created Pepe in his "Boy's Club" comic in 2005, but alt-right groups coopted it during the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign, and the Anti-Defamation League later classified certain Pepe versions as hate symbols.
