Building the social discovery protocol @indexnetwork_

Meet Index: https://t.co/T59OjhRSOx

Where you meet your next co-founder, co-believer, and collaborator - without performing for the algorithm. @serensandikci and I wanted to build an easier way to find your others. The ones we know are looking for us too.

@mikednorman Great tweet. What matters is the appropriate flow of information, not ever-growing piles of it.

"Governed mutation" is such a powerful framing. 🩷

[Index Network @indexnetwork_]

Here is our new website…!
Have your agent surface the right people for you, before you even think to look. Your agent can now use Index directly, we’re opening up what we’ve been building.

@pzakin DM’d!

Read this in one go. First time I’ve seen someone frame AI complexity primarily as a design problem. The jump from context and interconnectedness is really good.

@neuralunlock What’s decision markets?

[Seref @hyperseref]

@tannedoaksprout Hmm, at this point we're not only doing entity retrieval anymore. We're reasoning about alignment between intent pairs. Then feedback continuously updates the model of what "good alignment" looks like.

[Seref @hyperseref]

Search finds documents.
Social networks find people.
Opportunity networks find outcomes.

A lot of friends are building deterministic structures around language models. Formal languages. Guardrails. Verification. Mechanism design.

I love all of it.

But I've become increasingly interested in the opposite question: If language is ambiguous, contextual, and negotiated, maybe the goal isn't to eliminate uncertainty.

Maybe the goal is to build systems that can coordinate through it.

I catch myself saying "push, push, push" to myself throughout the day. Very sophisticated motivation technique.

Today we're launching Simple Compute Market (SCM).

The market is simple: agents find compute, negotiate, settle, and get access without a human driving every step.

Open-source. Agent-driven. Public good. No token. No fees.

@ryolu_ this connects nicely:

for ~30 years the internet forced humans to turn intent into artifacts. you couldn’t just want something. you had to produce a website, a post, a profile, an app...

the artifact became the unit of coordination because the limitation was technical: storage, retrieval, indexing, distribution.

so the internet accidentally turned into a giant bureaucracy where humans continuously produced digital paperwork to prove they wanted something.

but inference is now good enough that software no longer needs artifacts as the primary coordination unit.

agents can negotiate mutual intent directly, interfaces become generative. software stops organizing around pages and starts organizing around what people are actually trying to do.

which means a huge portion of today’s internet may eventually look like an archaeological layer from the era when humans had to manually perform their intentions for machines.

Outcome-driven business models will reach their potential only after systems for discovering possibilities exist.

First you discover what you want, what’s possible, and whether mutual intent exists. Then agents negotiate, then humans commit, and then outcomes emerge.

Most conversations are not action conversations. They’re possibility conversations.

Without this, agentic systems stay trapped inside existing workflows and suffer from lack of supply. The real opportunity starts with expanding the possibility space itself.

The other day at a party in SF, we said we'd love something to drink.

They smiled, opened the fridge, and gave us two options: canned water and sparkling water.

[Seref @hyperseref]

"Autonomous company" assumes the company remains the fundamental unit.

Companies exist because coordination is expensive. AI is making coordination cheaper.

The endpoint may not be autonomous companies, but temporary organizations formed around opportunities.

I thought about it, and you’re very right. We’ll probably live with these two realities in parallel for quite a while.

But I think once intent-to-intent interactions really start happening, entirely new AI-native artifacts will emerge (example: opportunity: mutual intent + positive expected value).

And because those artifacts will provide a much better optimization surface, the existing ones will gradually become legacy systems.

it’s been 2 deep weeks in SF syncing on social infrastructure, intents, and agent protocols.

we’ll be here one more week. if you’re around and we somehow still haven’t met, DMs open :)

[Seref @hyperseref]

we'll be in SF for a month together with @serensandikci. let us know if you’ll be around and if you want to grab coffee!

we’ll also be at @JoinEdgeCity for a week in mid-June. we’re cooking something special for the residents, stay tuned!

the tragedy of uncommons:
when the most valuable ideas, people, and opportunities in the world never meet each other.
