The protests in Ireland are not about just fuel! They are about the distance between Ireland on this graph and every other modern and developed economy. Ireland is second wealthiest but gets waaaaay less than any other country for that wealth. By a golden mile.
That visual gap in this graph? That’s what people are protesting. It’s a lack of infrastructure and the everyday enshittification of services, the economy, and the additional difficulty of trying to live, relative to peers in any other country. It also highlights why people don’t get uniformly listened to! - because there is no government architecture to engage meaningfully across this huge gap.
That gap is a three hour drive to work in traffic, a 14 month wait for an MRI, buses that don’t arrive, trains that don’t exist, schools that have no places for your kids, houses that are unaffordable, pubs that close before midnight, €12 sandwiches, expensive fuel.
People feel this gap, even if they can’t explain it precisely. And that builds into resentment, and ultimately protest. Fuel just happened to be the next thing that could be pointed to, today.

As we embrace the shift towards an AI-powered digital economy, the role of autonomous AI agents in recognising and rewarding influencers and leaders is genuinely fascinating.
This evolution could redefine the dynamics of digital influence, authenticity, and trust. Imagine AI agents autonomously identifying valuable contributions and ensuring creators are compensated in real time—a step towards a more equitable and transparent ecosystem.
It’s an exciting time when AI-driven meritocracy might reshape how we perceive influence and leadership in the digital sphere. I'm curious to see how this transforms content creation, audience engagement, and reward systems in the future!

The concept of value in Society is shifting.
Text-to-3D is around the corner...
I made this with @OpenAI Point-E on @huggingface (link below 👇). Prompt: "Beautiful Christmas tree, red and green"
I spent thousands of hours making 3D models by scanning. Being able to generate 3D from text is... sorcery.
2023 will be WILD.
