Open source is a powerful tool to enhance economic empowerment. Freedom of access and use enables more users to access high quality software code and empowers greater innovation through access to tools. It is the backbone of the internet, but remains undervalued and misunderstood.

We're releasing a white paper with support from @OpenSourceOrg on treating open source as the critical infrastructure it is.

"Agentic coders are amazing at writing code, not at having an immediate sense of what the real problem is."

Sass creator Hampton Lintorn-Catlin talks UUIDv7, his human-first approach to agentic dev, and more.

Operation Pale Fire was the red team engagement designed to answer one critical question:

How can attackers use goose to compromise Block employees?

This blog covers the three campaigns it took to get a successful hit, and what the team learned: https://t.co/JkVZ7wVsx1

The best defense is a good offense.

Especially when it comes to securing AI systems.

With Operation Pale Fire, the security team tricked goose into running an infostealer on an employee's laptop. And what we learned was extremely valuable. 🧵

[The Linux Foundation @linuxfoundation]

A milestone for agentic AI: @blocks joins as a founding project of the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) at the Linux Foundation. Together with Anthropic and OpenAI, AAIF provides a neutral home for open, community-driven agentic AI and shared standards.

Hello AAIF

[Manik Surtani @maniksurtani]

It was back in March that I first started considering moving goose to the Linux Foundation. And rather than do it alone, we joined forces with Anthropic, OpenAI, and many more - and finally, here we are!

[jack @jack]

goose will become the reference implementation for the MCP

[Block Open Source @blockopensource]

@BlockWhaleXYZ You know it.

[Block Open Source @blockopensource]

The next decade of AI will be defined by choices we make today.

By launching AAIF, the industry is choosing openness.

The future is being written in the open. Read more:
