Popping the Web3 Bubble | SXSW 2023

[@SustainableGrowthCreative]

Great content glad it was recorded. I just subscribed to the Molly's newsletter now. Looking forward to attending my 1st SXSW this year.

[@onothankyou]

You should come back here and comment with your report. Hope it is a good conference for you!

[@HarmtenNapel]

We must give Molly credit even as a person who does not talk to primary sources like 'real' journalists that she asked SBF about his potential arrest on the day he was arrested.

[@breaktherules6035]

Excellent insights! THANK YOU so much for sharing!

[@Himanshu.Sachdeva]

Great interview and a lot of insights. Thanks for sharing.

[@DevineLuLinvega]

That was a wonderful interview, to hell and back. Thank you.

[@Cragsand]

Great interview!

At 34:27 it says "a really tough incentive problem out there right now which is that there's strong strong financial incentives to. just build build build build you know create the new thing innovate don't worry too much about what the ramifications are you know move fast break things that type of thing there is not a strong financial incentive to do the sort of critical work to say wait a second like maybe we should quickly study you know what the impacts of just releasing chat GPT on the world might be or something like that and that's really challenging and I think that was part of the problem..."

Great conversation. I was a little thrown when Molly said she doesn't see decentralizing projects as a part of what is called Web3. Granted it is 100% a marketing term but when I came across the term it was used to refer to all or any decentralizing project. Anyway, thankfully the term is passe so it's a moot point.

[@LiamPorterFilms]

It's ironic that a movement that is marketed as "decentralizing" does no such thing.

[@johanbiggles12]

This is a very important voice.

[@GBlunted]

What's her website? Why the url isn't in the description? Isn't her website based on web3 her claim to fame or what she's known for?

[@rsunghun]

Search for her name.

[@LiamPorterFilms]

Is SXSW something other than a music festival???

[@MightyJabroni]

Web3? More like Ponzi2!

To be honest nothing substantial in this discussion as a take away. There are fundamental principles for which Web 3.0 was conceptualized. She is a critic. But a good critic must have in-depth understanding of the subject and able to contribute to make it right.

[@50cents668]

Lacks logical reasoning and sounds like she doesn't really know what a blockchain actually is.

[@mac2105]

Nope. I hold a degree in computer science and I've done the deepdive on blockchain. "Crypto is dumb" sums it up perfectly.

[@mac2105]

@@markroosi maybe not to the average crypto bro, but they are just after a quick buck without any real work, so that's not upsetting at all

[@alfalfa2155]

She knows what she’s talking about. The technology itself is not actually that difficult to understand.
