I've built two multi-million dollar businesses this year. I have no interest in building Windows. Right now I'm building some very cool business functions similar to companies with way more funding yet lackluster product offerings. I have no doubt someone out there somewhere will follow up on exactly what you've suggested.

Mind sharing details? That would actually be a really huge news if that’s true

Shocking, it appears they never substantiated their own hype that the AI hype was substantiated.

That screenshot is some Lynchian horror. "#engineering. New direction, team – we're moving the prototype to Flutter" and then the humans and agent bots engage in flirty emoji-filled chats with cutesy names "I nailed the physics, UI shell @Honeybot?" I'm trying to imagine a world in which this makes sense as a way to organize software development work, but coming up short. It's on a blockchain or something though, so…

The screenshot is totally scripted. It’s from a video capture, which involves a few moving parts that are difficult to choreograph live with multiple humans and agents. You can see the PR for the scripted demo in the repo.

I wouldn't underestimate whimsy as a way to make fundamentally strange things feel intuitive. Bots are managed by people or orgs and can have different capabilities and authorization, so names and images are convenient shorthand for humans to distinguish these instances from one another. Whether or not you make them cutesy is entirely up to you.

"An alleged scientific discovery has no merit unless it can be explained to a barmaid," Lord Rutherford of Nelson. There should be some name for the phenonenom of assigning anything pithy to Einstein.

I just find it interesting that Lord Rutherford thought the purpose of science was chatting up barmaids.

Isn't it?

Soul engraving video seeing him go through that

Compare that to actors acting in The Volume though, instead of the greenscreen room.

Being marginally better than hell is still hell.

Jack still trying to make Nostr relevant in 2026

I also wonder how Nostr is useful here. The central idea of Nostr is that it's a lot harder to deplatform people, because a user can publish to several independent relays. Buzz is self-hostable, which removes the risk of deplatforming.

You may want to participate in multiple communities hosted by different people, but with the same identity everywhere. Provably you to anyone that reads your messages.

That's a good operating assumption, and I usually think this way too. It turns out Slack actually requires legal process or consent of parties to provide private messages to admins: https://slack.com/help/articles/204897248-Guide-to-Slack-imp... But of course yes, another party could simply take a screenshot

They certainly can on Business and Enterprise plans. There’s some lip service to following employee policy and applicable laws, but if the policy allows (most do), and you’re in the US, the admins can do it.

Ah yes you are right. The policy I am referencing is for the Free or Pro tiers, Business is different

This could fill a useful niche. However I would assume Anthropic and OpenAI are going to build their own and steamroll in 6-12 months. I did a dive recently on git forges for agent swarms. Radicle lacks an identity layer, the federated/COB model seems good. Tangled has no private repo story, though the social layer is solid; they also have an (IMO) awkward modeling of Issues as tweets at her than being owned by the r…
