2/ The walled gardens of apps cost the most where our lives intersect with others’. We’re creating systems that mold around the contours of people’s real lives and relationships. And that requires a new trust model.

A world of infinite software is post-software. Software will be so pervasive that it can be taken totally for granted. It becomes invisible by becoming ubiquitous.

What if technology didn’t feel so… hollow? Some friends and I just released a manifesto about a world where tech leaves us feeling nourished (along with an evolving list of theses about how we can build it) resonantcomputing.org

The Resonant Computing Manifesto

Technology should bring out the best in humanity, not the worst—a manifesto for resonant computing built on five principles that reject hyper-scale extraction for human flourishing.

Silicon Valley's lost decade: consumer ceded to aggregators, software "innovation" meant SaaSy CRUD for some vertical niche. We forgot software could be anything else. Infinite software means we can dream again.

What would it look like to decentralize apps? That app is the nexus of power because it is where the data lives. The app is at the top of the stack deciding what pixels to render. Decentralization at other layers doesn't matter nearly as much.

Most vibe coding tools produce Potemkin software. Demos great, falls over in the slightest breeze. We need infrastructure where strangers can refine vibe-coded software so improvements benefit everyone... yet it's somehow still safe with your private data.

Data is alienable. Because it replicates so easily, once it's out of your sight it's out of your control. When used behind your back, it loses its contextual integrity—alienated from your intention, turned against your interest. How can we make your data always work for you?

For the power of coactive UIs to be unleashed, they have to be turing complete: able to add not just content but also code to themselves. That's where all the power to make it truly coactive comes from... but also with the wrong security model, it will be dangerous!

Every enterprise has a system of record. Every person has... email: a compost heap. What we need: a garden that grows from that compost. Something we tend, prune, curate. An emergent system of record for our personal lives. LLMs should handle the weeding. We should choose what blooms.

Each tier gives you an order of magnitude better protection. The vast majority of the cloud is in tier 1 or 2 today. Moving most computing to tier 3 would be a massive improvement. Tier 4 is overkill for most situations. Your family pictures will definitely be safe in the embassy.

In the same origin paradigm, when an app wants your address book data, the OS asks you "Do you trust the creator of this app, who can push arbitrary turing-complete code that can do arbitrary network access, now and into the future?" That's a CRAZY thing to have to consent to!

In the same origin model, the only vibe-coded apps that can safely scale to more than a handful of users are ones that don't require any sensitive data. It'll end up with mainly micro-games and fart apps.

The original sin of the same origin model is fusing data to apps and putting the app in charge. All of the negative consequences are downstream of that decision. The same origin model has been amazing, but in the era of infinite software we need something to complement it.

In the same origin paradigm, the origin gets to decide what features to add. Those are what's good for the origin, not necessarily what's good for the user. Those incentives can align sometimes, but also can never be perfectly aligned.

Apps can't borrow your data for a specific task—they need permanent, unlimited access. This architectural flaw means using multiple tools requires trusting multiple strangers forever. Easier to just give everything to Google. The same origin paradigm makes aggregators inevitable.

Most users won't want to vibecode their own software. You can’t safely run something that was vibe coded by a stranger if it has access to sensitive data. That sets a ceiling on vibecode's distribution in the current security model.

Everyone's focusing on the big alignment problem in AI (making sure AI in general helps society in general), but not enough people are focusing on the small alignment problem (making sure your AI is working in your interest). The small alignment problem is just as important.
