Elon Twitter drama today:

- Elon banned ElonJet account posting Elon’s private jet movements
- Journalists reported on it
- Elon banned journalists’ accounts
- They were still able to use Twitter Spaces, so they created one to chat
- Elon joined, was confronted by them
- He exited and suspended Twitter Spaces feature for the whole Twitter, making all Twitter Spaces offline (including that one)
- He banned all Twitter users from pasting any links to Mastodon, alternative social media

Our conclusion:

Point Browser will also be integrating both Mastodon and Lens in 2023

This is insane. Paul Graham from Y Combinator with 1.5M followers now suspended on Twitter

Reportedly, the smallest Point Alpaca 7B is better and more natural sounding than the largest Alpaca-LoRA (30B)

Point Network Community Update Q2 2023

https://twitter.com/PointNetwork/status/1672302643509600264

Summary:
- Has been a fight through crazy circumstances: still alive after lead investor (FTX) abandoned and destroyed the industry in parallel
- Launched successfully last year in the middle of the chaos, but now need to be careful with funding to survive until next bull market
- Price action: doesn't matter because order book is non-existent, can go up and down quickly on a few thousand dollars; will matter once we can get exposed to many new users
- First token project to launch on top of Point Network: community of celebrity fans gated via token ownership access
- More AI stuff coming
- Best way to support team to buy OTC, if no budget - support in other ways and allow the leads the team has to flourish
- Survival has been miraculous so far, will be a hell of a story if we actually manage to survive and thrive. Thanks for sticking around and supporting in our still early days
