I’m at the bottom of a multi-layer SPV and am looking forward to the SpaceX IPO in much the same way a golden retriever looks forward to a car ride:

- thrilled to be involved
- no clue how cars work
- unsure if going to the park or getting neutered

The trades can build anything... except the software they run on.

That changes today. We've raised $9.2M to build Dalton Mills.

Software has spent its whole history getting closer to the people who do the work.

First, the system of record. Software you stored your business in.

Then, the agentic era. Software that did the work for you.

Now, the bespoke era. Agentic software you build yourself, without code.

Each era closed the gap and this one closes it for good. Software can finally work around your business, instead of you bending your business to make it fit.

You ran on software made for everyone… never for you.

That's over.

Welcome to @DaltonMillsAI.

Let the builders build!

@levelsio Great idea. And, I’ve always wanted a look alike mapping of neighborhoods. Like what is the “west village” of Buenos Aires? Or the “Venice beach” of Bangkok?

It's an important moment for Great Sky.

Yesterday, they exited stealth and accelerated their mission to transform computing! Jeff Shainline and his team are building a fundamentally new kind of AI chip using superconducting optoelectronic networks.

Their approach can process video a million times faster than GPUs with a fraction of the energy.

The founding team spent a decade inventing this at NIST before spinning out, and since founding, they’ve taped our four wafers.

This is the kind of first-principles reinvention of computing hardware that comes along once in a century, and I’m thrilled to be involved!

Slack/Discord were built for humans messaging humans. That era is ending.

We’ve been quietly building @typedotcom: agent-native team chat.

> UX for agents: tool calls, sessions, streaming
> Interactive UI built on the fly

It's a weird time. I am filled with wonder and also a profound sadness.

I spent a lot of time over the weekend writing code with Claude. And it was very clear that we will never ever write code by hand again. It doesn't make any sense to do so.

Something I was very good at is now free and abundant. I am happy...but disoriented.

At the same time, something I spent my early career building (social networks) was being created by lobster-agents. It's all a bit silly...but if you zoom out, it's kind of indistinguishable from humans on the larger internet.

So both the form and function of my early career are now produced by AI.

I am happy but also sad and confused.

If anything, this whole period is showing me what it is like to be human again.
