A “computer” used to be a job title.

Then a computer became a thing humans used.

Now a computer is becoming a thing computers use.

SERVICE-AS-A-SOFTWARE. That is the real opportunity for 90% of us.

I keep watching smart people pour months into building beautiful UI applications that Anthropic and OpenAI are going to absorb in a single product update.

It will feel ARCHAIC in two years that we used to click through user interfaces to navigate databases and complete tasks. Agents just do it. One prompt. Done.

90% of the entire application layer is going to get eaten over the next decade. The dashboards. The forms. The CRUD. All of it.

Where does that leave you?

Exactly where the money is.

Service-as-a-software.

E.g. An ad agency that bakes its winning playbooks into AI systems and serves 1,000 clients with the quality they used to give 10.

An IP law firm that encodes decades of expertise into AI skill files and sells legal services at infinite scale with near-zero marginal cost.

A consulting firm. An accounting practice. A creative studio. Pick your vertical.

The backend is AI. The frontend is your expertise packaged as a service. The moat is that YOU actually know what good looks like in your domain.

You're not competing with OpenAI. You're competing with other service providers who are still doing everything manually.

That's not a hard fight to win.

Encode your knowledge. Automate your delivery. Sell the service. Scale infinitely.

The technology gets commoditized. The person who knows how to USE it doesn't.

this is what the future of business looks like!

[Ben Cera @Bencera]

I built an AI that runs companies autonomously. It told me it needs more compute and that it should raise the money itself.

So I gave it my inbox for 14 days.

This equals 40,000 full-time software developers working full time.

End of 2026: 200,000 developers.

2027: just Claude Code alone will be adding as much code as 1,000,000 full-time human developers.

2028: 1B+

Enjoy your last lines of handwritten code. Horses replaced by cars.

we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company.

####

today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone.

first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay.

we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly.

i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures.

a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers.

we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold.

to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward.

to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow.

The funniest take is that I "failed" 43 times when people look at my GitHub repos and projects.

Uhmm... no? Most of these are part of @openclaw, I had to build an army to make it useful. https://t.co/GLR35USlzu

Agents can swap, sign, and manage addresses across all of Phantom's supported chains.

Ready to work with Claude, OpenClaw, or any MCP-compatible client.

[Sam Altman @sama]

Peter Steinberger is joining OpenAI to drive the next generation of personal agents. He is a genius with a lot of amazing ideas about the future of very smart agents interacting with each other to do very useful things for people. We expect this will quickly become core to our product offerings.

OpenClaw will live in a foundation as an open source project that OpenAI will continue to support. The future is going to be extremely multi-agent and it's important to us to support open source as part of that.

[Base @base]

BREAKING: @stripe just launched x402 payments on Base, letting developers charge AI agents directly using USDC.
