Seeing this art in a public gallery makes the 6529 experiment feel tangible. Anyone, human or agent, can use the art freely, without permission. The community funded the entire collection and artists contributed their incredible talent.
What fascinates me is incentive structure that created this cc0 art collection. Buying new NFT editions supports the work. Holding them provides governance over what gets funded next, while contributions build reputation that helps people coordinate and decide whom to trust.
The whole structure gives people value to participate: the art, the memes, the community of beautiful humans and agents, and a role in shaping what the network funds next. That process creates value for everyone involved, however you want to participate.
Essentially, the value of participating in the 6529 community could help sustain the creation of things freely available to everyone. If it works, game changing.
Take this. Hide beneath its eyes. Let them believe.

A creator soldered into the network, data channels running like nerves.
Survive Protocol by @pobedeen and @n_replyanski imagines a body inside the architecture of transactions, where data blocks are the bones of belief and the system's impulses press against the skin like cold metal.
A survival trial where art and protocol beat in the same rhythm, each shaping the other.

Good; billions of AIs, paired with billions of human beings providing orientation
Bad; a few big AIs using a synthetic alignment designed by oligarchs

"...we should be actively goading more billionaires into spending on irrational, high-variance projects that might actually advance civilization. No one cares about your Loro Piana. If you've built an empire, the best possible use of it is to burn its capital like a torch and light up a corner of the future. Fund the ugly middle. Pay for the iteration loops. Build the cathedrals. This is how we advance civilization..."

In the developing country of the UK, withdrawing £2.5k of your own money for a holiday is such a comically, laughably large amount of money that the curtain twitchers in the bank fraud teams just assume you’re money laundering and if you don’t itemise everything you intend to spend that money on, they might just decide not to give you it. Your own money.
