Yeah just need to tell the system prompt to not do that. A grumpy senior engineer agent that pushes back on constant tech stack changes would be good too.

#213> Explain Like I'm 5 > Buzz is an open-source, self-hosted workspace that combines team chat, AI agents and Git hosting using signed Nostr events, so teams can keep control of their data. Very different expectations of 5-year-olds.

Are you making a joke? Not being snarky, I actually can't tell if it's a real suggestion or satirical.
Half joking, half serious. We need AI to challenge assumptions to not just "you are absolutely correct" all the time.

nostr solves for who owns the shared service. nobody. run your own, use an open relay, or pay for one from folks you trust.
The story right now is to own the least you possibly can, at least if you're a business. If I can buy it that's usually the right choice, in terms of opportunity cost if nothing else.

If you wrote it on your company's slack space, it is not really private to the company. Everytime I have a "private" conversation in Slack I have the understanding that the information could be shared. Even now there is a share button not for the whole conversation but yes for individual messages
It's potentially open to the public as well, given the right legal action. The Enron email dump revealed secrets that presumably ended several marriages.

#217and then the first reply is someone saying that if not someone else will... and then another saying that the whole idea of business is to make money... and then another that the guy from valve is a jerk...

#218It's crazy how one lucky break lets somebody spend the rest of their life throwing s*t at the wall to see what sticks to earn them more money.
The fact that he does that instead of focusing on what he is already in charge of is egregious. If I was a Block shareholder looking at this, I’d be upset. It’s been years of him going on side quests like Tidal, blockchain, weekly etc. while ignoring the core needs of his customers and losing out on various fronts. Toast is a $20B company while Block is some $50B company after the acquisition of cash app (which by th…
Cash App was not an acquisition, it originated as a hackweek within (what was then called) Square.
Possibly you’re thinking of the Afterpay acquisition?
Re: Jack Dorsey launches Buzz to combine team chat, AI agents and Git hosting
#219Slack exists largely because IRC was insufficient. It didn't natively support channel history, search, etc. For AI agents to flourish, Slack has to either truly open its network with a protocol or eventually be replaced. I'd like to see Slack embrace an AT protocol-based chat system, which then apps like Buzz could implement. Then users could log in with domain handles like @yourname.com, and agents could use handles…

Can’t anyone already do that with a screenshot or a log dump? I’m always assuming company provided comms platforms are fully readable by the admins
It is. Firm I worked at had AI summarized chats delivered to admins and upper level management. If you talk shit about your superiors, it will get back to them. Same with "anonymous" surveys.
i'm thinking of moving to a cabin in the woods outside Lincoln, Montana
