I’m convinced this next decade is going to transition from “software eating the world” to “ai eating the software”

[Kevin Rose @kevinrose]

wonderful tribute to @om on @Hodinkee, one of his favorite sites, by one of his favorite people @benjaminclymer 🙏https://t.co/KtDy87aFrT

@Scobleizer @om 💯

[Kevin Rose @kevinrose]

goodbye @om - i love you. i will miss you my friend.

[Kevin Rose @kevinrose]

@jessethanley @rrhoover @om Thanks for watching Jesse, Om will be missed.

Too much fun co-hosting the @trueventures AI Workflow Summit yesterday in SF with @NatashaSharma

140 people on laptops building together all day.

No "this is what we think AI might do someday." Just actual workflows from the stage.

[Kevin Rose @kevinrose]

@madelineminshew @trueventures @NatashaSharma @kieranklaassen @trevin @jimmyechan bummed to have missed it :)

[Kevin Rose @kevinrose]

since we've expanded @digg to tech news + ai, we've seen another jump in traffic -- 4 weeks of solid growth and a new 7-day high this week. thanks, all for trying it out, more features/fun coming soon :) 🙏

[Kevin Rose @kevinrose]

@sashimikun_void can you share your prompts?

[Rob Hallam @robj3d3]

It's official, we have AGI.

[Kevin Rose @kevinrose]

Notion feels bloated these days, Obsidian is great but I don't have time for all the configuration/extensions. Been loving the latest from @craftdocs - less complexity but native BYO AI keys + mcp support.

[Kevin Rose @kevinrose]

now @digg parses 100's of comments on growing clusters and finds related links/media, see in the lower right here: https://t.co/GXzVWBfDex

videos now live on @digg 🙏

so Codex on iPad acts like a Codex mobile phone, which gives you the full desktop UI/UX. meaning, you can use your iPad to control your mac mini at home and have full screen portable development, it's really magical.

it's a great question. about two years ago I was diagnosed with ADHD, and every friend who knows me well basically said, "yeah, no shit." It was still a shock to me, which is funny in hindsight.

re: digg, it's my baby. when I launched it, it was just tech news - stayed that way for the first couple of months until we opened the taxonomy up to everything. I don't need digg to be a reddit killer. if we can make it insanely useful to a couple hundred thousand people, that would be amazing. I'm about 20% there in terms of what has been built vs what I want to build.

some people have said: "I can just get this on X" what they're missing is that most people are too busy to drink from the X firehose. I keep hearing some version of "I love Elon, but I just want his tech/space tweets." that's a thing we can actually do.

such a fun time for anyone technical to build - just ran some stats, I've averaged 59.4 commits per day, 3,801 in total. shoutout to @addison 11.85% of the codebase.

[Matt Van Horn @mvanhorn]

Just found out @kevinrose wrote pretty much all the code of the new @Digg himself. We literally wouldn't let him touch the code base in 2007, he just had to be the "idea guy" in the meetings, then we would take months to build it, weeks for the community to test it then meet with Kevin again to restart the cycle. Agentic engineering is magical. He has done 3,801 of 4,312 commits, which is 88.15%. Madness.

[Kevin Rose @kevinrose]

@arnteriksen @addison I rarely roll back, maybe twice, but yeah, it's been a ton of work, but really fun, I'm actually re-architecting the backend right now.

[Kevin Rose @kevinrose]

@SahilDewan @digg Amazing!! 🤩

[Kevin Rose @kevinrose]

a huge thank you to all my ai friends that have tried the new @digg over the last two weeks, we're off to a good start. more topics are on the roadmap 🙏

[Kevin Rose @kevinrose]

@Neil_Dagger @digg thank you, baby steps, one little feature/tweak at a time.
