Last week, I explored how intelligence is becoming a commodity and its impact on money. This week, I dive into @karpathy’s autoresearch project and what it reveals about the future of autonomous AI agents.

This one even features @SarahAzouvi, my partner in crime on the idea of bringing "dark compute" to light, and the amazing work that @varun_mathur is doing with his swarm of agents (the real pre-AGI architecture) :)

Here are the high-level ideas from this post:
* How autoresearch validates the near-term use of autonomous agents through simple, 5-minute evaluation loops that beat highly optimized baselines.
* The shift from execution to "research taste" and why designing the reward function and optimization surface will become the critical task for research and progress in other fields (once the barriers to execution are completely removed).
* The massive potential of "dark compute": how a decentralized swarm of agents can turn idle, everyday GPUs into a global, collaborative research lab.

@brian_armstrong Pregnancy is actually extremely important for mother-baby attachment and the baby’s emotional development, this can’t be replicated with an artificial womb

Super grateful for how welcoming everyone at @zkproof was to our baby SNARK last week for ZKProof7 🦈
And special thanks to the organisers for the adorable bodysuit 😍❤️

🧵Mesh vs Hub: Approaches to Rollup Interoperability

Ethereum’s rollup-centric future is fast and cheap—but fragmented. Liquidity, UX, and composability are broken across rollups. How do we fix this? Let’s explore Mesh vs Hub models for rollup interop. 👇

1/ The problem: Fragmentation
Rollups scale Ethereum but at a cost:

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 UX: Users juggle wallets, bridges, & networks.
🌊 Liquidity: Capital is spread thin, leading to slippage & inefficiencies.
🔗 Composability: No atomic transactions across rollups.

Seamless interop is the missing piece.

Meet @SarahAzouvi - Scroll's Protocol Researcher! 🌟

What does building the open economy mean to you?
"To me, this means creating a more accessible and permissionless financial system where innovation isn't constrained by centralized gatekeepers. I'm particularly passionate about how this can advance financial inclusion for women, who are disproportionately affected by financial exclusion. Creating an open economy means breaking down these systemic barriers and ensuring that technological advancement benefits those who have been historically left out of traditional financial systems".

Favourite xmas movie?
"My favorite xmas movie is The Nightmare before Christmas, which I’d say is both a Halloween and xmas movie (which is amazing since I absolutely love both celebrations)". 💃

If you were a type of pasta, what shape would you be and why?
"I’d be a spaghetti! As a dancer I’ve trained my flexibility a lot and in my professional life I’ve also learned to adapt and remain resilient in the face of changing circumstances - bending without breaking, both literally and figuratively, just like a perfect al dente spaghetti 🍝".

Most overused emoji: 🙈

What’s your favourite thing about Scroll?
"My favourite thing about Scroll is 100% the people, I feel super grateful to work with my amazing colleagues!" 💛

It was such a pleasure to present our research team's work at the Columbia CryptoEconomics Workshop earlier this month! Many thanks to the organisers 🥰

We discussed key challenges in x-rollup communication and shared Scroll's Interop Gadget design.
