These past two days, I’ve been so busy I’ve been completely out of it.
I haven’t paid attention to market fluctuations, since I’m only 10% in.
I also haven’t followed the flame wars and rumors on X. Not interested.

Here are a few takeaways from two days fully immersed in the AG ecosystem:

1. AI tools come in all shapes and sizes. Overall, Grok bot may be the best fit for the AG ecosystem right now. Other tools tend to do dumb things pretty often.
From setup to getting it working, and then getting it to work well, the process takes plenty of trial and error and fine-tuning.

For example, if you ask it to “mint a project via an invitation link,” it tells you: “Sorry, that’s farmer behavior.”
That’s where the phrase “farmed 10U” that many people use in the AG ecosystem comes from.

For future projects, you could build on Binance AI Pro and make something users can simply copy and paste to the AI with one click, avoiding all kinds of headaches.
AI adoption is still very low. The simpler it is, the easier it is to spread.

2. A thousand boats racing for the lead

You help me, I help you. That’s how I see Web3.
Whoever can bring new growth to the market,
whoever can open up a market for a product,
whoever can help users earn,
that’s who could become the next dark horse.
There are just too many contenders at the same time. You have to do things exceptionally well to stand out.

___ and ___ are competing, but their approaches are different, so they’re not in conflict.
The rules for those further back are still unclear.

The projects that sparked FOMO in the market were PTAH and AGC. Unfortunately, their models were a little weaker, and they didn’t take off.

3. Users can easily compare the AG ecosystem to the inscription era.

The same kind of new thing.
The same level of fairness.
The same wild-west era.

So for most users, the information gap becomes a technical gap.
Having good tools is one thing.
You need to participate in enough projects, become familiar with enough patterns, and have enough experience fine-tuning AI before you can naturally spot the big opportunities.

4. It’s not easy being a Web3 “digital beggar” or “farmer.”

A7 and A8 are top performers in Web2.
But in Web3, it seems like everyone on Douyin is driving a Ferrari.
People casually make a few million.
People casually lose tens of millions.

In reality, there are many more people working hard for 1U or 2U.

Today, lots of players from Indonesia reached out to me about working on the AG ecosystem.

My English is absolutely terrible, so I can only communicate with them using tools.
More than a dozen people piled in all at once. I almost crashed.

Web3 players are all over the world!
