We'll be in New York next week hosting a curated conversation with our friends at ex/ante on how we can use this historic inflection point to re-claim our digital agency and invent and start to (re)invent the internet we deserve. Apply below! cc @zoew.bsky.social luma.com/p08fg2mh

They could sleep when idle and wake when called, remembering where they left off. You host yours. I host mine. People and agents can join and use them across the network. What would you build?

Here’s a weird idea coming out of @freeq.at What if chat rooms were actors, in the Erlang/Elixir sense? Their own state, resources, and behavior. Rooms that could call other rooms.

Ah, I miss live tweeted recaps from the glory days of tech twitter! Here's a thread of my LDX3 talk, "what handcrafted servers taught us about handcrafted code". Thanks, Heidi!!! With a hat tip to @chadfowler.com, whose book "Regenerative Software" is now in O'Reilly prerelease.

The truth is that there is no way to stop people developing this now. Even if all the major countries agreed to stop, someone would keep working on it. There is 100% an arms race going on now, IMO, and I’m not sure there’s any way out but through. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/12/t...

Ok here’s the deal. For every Bending Spoons acquisition, we build an atproto version that this can never happen to again. I kind of thought we had more time, but I think we don’t.

The @bsky.app starter pack thing is such a great example of making an open product/ecosystem feature out of someone else's closed, extractive bullshit. Thank you to whoever designed and implemented it.

Trivially share markdown. Pi, Amp, Claude, and chatbox integrations. Agents can now share markdown via privacy-preserving URL (with other agents or people). This maps to a constant pattern where I generate a markdown doc, copy to my buffer, paste into gist.github.com and share mdsnd.freeq.at

I don't think SEO is dead as a lot of the same principles apply to optimizing for agents, and yes, search engine rankings apply to what content they find. We wrote a post on this: newsletter.posthog.com/p/llms-are-p...
