when messages can be programs, chats become more than chats

(patch by @WrongNebula)

[dom hofmann @dhof]

early vibe on sup is good

multiplayer OS is happening

[dom hofmann @dhof]

in 2026 we spawn inline linux VMs right in our chat messages

[dom hofmann @dhof]

every room has a customizable npc you can chat with, pretty basic

but you can also “whisper” to give it secret instructions

[dom hofmann @dhof]

customize and post to your personal page

follow other people’s pages, no feed or algo

everything that works in chat (patches, reacts, etc) works in pages and comments too

[dom hofmann @dhof]

@DylanAbruscato lots of similarities

[dom hofmann @dhof]

in sup, patches communicate with messages just like we do

the output of one patch can be used as the input for another

[dom hofmann @dhof]

“intelligent expressions”

quick LLM breakouts in the middle of deterministic code

kind of like structured output on demand

[dom hofmann @dhof]

when messages contain programs, we call them patches

anyone can make them, everyone can use them

just tag a patch to use it

[dom hofmann @dhof]

3d models in messages

[dom hofmann @dhof]

in sup, messages are messages (obviously)

but they can also be programs

[dom hofmann @dhof]

what if a model was wrong on purpose?

an anti model

[dom hofmann @dhof]

we’re building a multiplayer OS that masquerades as a chat app

mostly for fun, but also to save the internet

[dom hofmann @dhof]

weird lookin app

[dom hofmann @dhof]
