👯 Women in Web3… and Beyond
Katie Richman is taking her (awesome) blog to LinkedIn. Check out “technormal: web3 + ai for the rest of us.”
I love the way she sees web3: “And just remember when people say: ‘Generative AI is the 'next big thing' but ‘The Metaverse’ is dumb: All of these elements fit together as ONE set of groundbreaking technology. AKA: web3.”
Kelly Llanos joined Western Art Dept as their 8th artist and I’m just in love with her work. That’s all. IN LOVE.
Keep an eye on Betty.
T-Swift was apparently one of only a few celebs that declined to sign a $100M deal with FTX… (who meanwhile recovered $7.3B in assets this week)
Shira Lazar launched an NFT collection with Deepak Chopra to focus on mental health.

📰 In Other News… (NFT alpha, crypto updates, blockchain news, metaverse minutes + more)

Gucci and Vans launched the first co-branded Roblox experience.
Yoz Labs raised $3.5M to build a web3 notification system — here’s why Will Liu says it’s the pre-req to the next tier of consumer adoption.
Midjourney is launching a monthly print magazine. Whether an AI chatbot will conduct the interviews is unclear.
RobotEra is apparently attracting the best crypto VC firms — despite the fact that web3 funding is well, plummeting? (Meanwhile, Unchained also raised $60M and Sei Labs still slayed.)
Jeremy Cowart is making history (again)… and it will only take him 20 minutes.
Nike’s Ron Faris explained how its first-ever virtual sneaker collection will switch up the sneaker industry.
Tom Mizzone x Sweet are dropping something big with NHL.
Idk what VirtualStax is, but Patrick Mahomes is involved… so maybe we should?

If you haven’t heard… a new song by “Ghostwriter” called Heart on My Sleeve features the vocals of Drake and The Weeknd — but it’s purely AI generated, causing quite a stir in the music market. UMG has asked all streaming platforms to ban AI generated music. What’s your take?
