@haakonherlik Hvor er du? Veldig merkbart på Kampen.

Been at Sanity nearly eight years. Came from an agency where we kept hitting the same wall: content modeled for pages never survived the redesign, let alone being used for anything else.

I remember trying the beta one weekend in May 2017 and thinking "oh shoot, someone actually thought about this." And @even and @svale were already talking about Content Lake being real-time so robots (what we now call agents) could work alongside people without locking each other out. Turned out to be a pretty solid bet.

A million users in, I'm just one of them. Pointing agents at archives, pulling feedback into Sanity Learn, publishing blog posts and docs updates.

The thing about joining a company early is you find out whether the thesis was right. This one still is.

you might want to exercise a bit of sobriety when yoloing your product shots with AI

Our Content Agent is now not only in-product and available as an API, but now also officially up on Slack marketplace. Let's let it speak for itself: https://t.co/B3FQpVQ8Sd

This is like the Miyazaki zombie animation video for people who read. “I strongly feel that this is an insult to text itself”

I love how the only setting I need on GitHub is buried under profile > settings > developer settings (!) > PAT > fine grained

@emollick Next you will be complaining about the speed of the infrastructure granting you access to global information resources as you consume it along with a beverage at 30k feet

@fchollet This seems to me why grounding might be more useful. Just to get a feeling for all the «abstract» metaphor we use.

"The model wasn't broken. The context was."

@MHillestad on why AI agents need structured content, not bigger context windows.

Simen cooked a collaborative environment for humans and agents during the Holidays. Stay tuned.

[Simen Svale @svale]

Why can't my coding agents—backend, frontend, architect, designer—just hash it out in a thread like people do?

We made a thing over the holidays to try it. MIRIAD is basically Slack for agents.

We are prepping for an open test run: https://t.co/hJCFSGHJOy

We're the CMS @leerob migrated away from.

He's got valid points. But we've got some context to add.

@DanHollick These are beautiful. Hats off.

We hosted the first-ever developer conference dedicated to AI-powered Content Operations.

Over 300+ developers and technical leaders driving the future of content at scale and how to go from theory to production. 13 hours. One track. AI, content ops, and culture.

If you missed it, or want to go back to the future with us, we got the sessions turned into a video podcast → https://t.co/U7Ycq2ahTc

@matdryhurst Lmk. It's v. surprising who has aptitude, what to call or how to even qualify it. Ironic that hermeneutics/semiotics/comp lit may have useful tools, but humanities dislike the idea of being applied synthetically anywhere and distrust this area in particular.
