I'm proud to announce the opening of the Museum of the Human Web.

I grew up with the internet. RuneScape, MSN, Club Penguin, Wikipedia, Funnyjunk, Reddit. I knew my slice of it well and assumed that was most of the story. It wasn't. The web I grew up on sat on top of decades of work by people I'd never heard of, building things that didn't have to exist and mostly weren't paid to.
The web isn't a product. It's closer to an organism — something that grew, and is still growing, and has reshaped us as much as we've shaped it. It's part of the human condition now.

AI is now part of that organism too, so this felt like the right time to look back and celebrate everything human about the web.

Massive thank you to @travers00, @paraga, @vanlancker, @chrisfralic, Marc Weber at the Computer History Museum, @MarkGraham , @rogaos , @DylanAbruscato, @asimov_co, @problemlibrary, @yangyou, Phoebe Darling... and to everyone who handed us a story or an artifact and trusted us with it.

Come see it IRL on May 8th: https://t.co/krda1bE8zN

Struggling to pick what agent, model, and effort levels to use? Miss the "slot machine" feel of Claude Code when using other tools?

@schwentker @p0 It was a pleasure meeting you and musing about the idea of and items within the museum!

.@p0 An AI company built a museum to the web before AI.

Spent months gathering artifacts of a web its own agents never touched. Parallel Web Systems' Museum of the Human Web, 238 King St SF.

@chrisfralic I was shocked to find out how early this was and how they laid them when I first dig into this.

And it failed within three weeks! Can you imagine if they had given up?

[Travers @travers00]

was a blast sitting down with @vanlancker and sharing a bit more about what we're up to at @p0

[Willem @vanlancker]

Following rapid growth, a $100M Series B, and a slate of new launches, I sat down with Parallel co-founder @travers00.

@p0 is building core search infrastructure for the agentic web: systems that enable AI to retrieve, structure, and reason over information across the internet with speed, accuracy, and reliability.

I joined Travers at Parallel’s new Palo Alto office for a wide-ranging conversation on:

> The pace going from launch last August to becoming critical infrastructure powering production workflows at companies like Notion, Harvey, Granola, and more.

> Why Parallel sees the future of search as far beyond “ten blue links,” toward systems built for retrieval, reasoning, monitoring, and computation.

> The changing nature of the web itself: its economics, openness, and what happens as agents become primary users.

> The artistry and legacy of internet history shaping the company: Olivetti typewriters, Douglas Hofstadler, Lloyd Shapley, Christo & Jeanne-Claude, Google’s Search Box, and how it inspired programs like the Museum of the Human Web.

This is an extensive and wide ranging look into one of the most interesting sectors of the agentic web. We @terraincap feel lucky to have worked with Travers and the team since the start just two years ago. So much to do.

Reminder, don’t be a slop cannon

[Lukas Levert @lukaslevert]

If you do one productive thing this weekend, make it be to listen to @paraga on @stratechery

It’s the quickest way to understand the bet we’re making for the future of content and consumption on the web with our APIs and the launch of Index

[Lukas Levert @lukaslevert]

@itunpredictable I fear it’s out of our control. With the slopcannons of AI and ad incentives that reward shock and controversy, we might just have to work with it. But the pendulum tends to swing. I expect we’ll all get tired of the same tropes very soon.
