One way to predict the future of technology is to look at who's breaking the rules today. BitTorrent paved the way for Spotify. Bitcoin made stablecoins possible. @jessewldn on how permissionless experimentation reveals latent demand that incumbents haven't figured out how to serve.

We need an "Antifragile Internet" built for the agentic era. The hacks over the past few days (PHP, Railway, eMudhra, LiteLLM etc) show how fragile the existing Internet has become. AI agents are challenging the Internet's structure in 3 distinct ways: 1/ On the offense side, agents are a weapon - AI finds and exploits bugs on a scale not seen before, and the cost of attack asymptotes to 0. Bugs that used to take human experts weeks and months are easily found, adapted, and exploited by AI agents. Decades of legacy code that ran on "security by obscurity" no longer holds against agents. 2/ On the defense side, agents are a target - AI generated code is often bug-prone. AI agents themselves, as machines of unconstrained output are liable to prompt injections and other types of attacks that can leak keys, PII, and other pieces of information. 3/ On the identity side, agents are dominating Internet activity - this year, machine traffic has already passed human traffic, and may continue to grow 1000x over the next few years. Content and webpages used to human requests and behavior are breaking with agents, and it is increasingly difficult to tell human content from AI content. All this means we will need to see a ground-up redesigning of the Internet, one with more cryptographic verifiability, identity protocols, rule-enforcement, and other security primitives that eliminate bug categories rather than simply patch them - an "Antifragile Internet" that gets stronger and more secure as more agents participate in it. This is an emerging thesis area for us at @usv, if you're building in the space please reach out! More thoughts soon.

3/5 hopchat also talk to your smart devices available in the network through a small model running on the laptop. "@ home make the lamp purple" goes straight to the bulb over the local network. And not just the smart bulb, your TVs, printers and copiers as well!

F your AI b2b SaaS. We just launched Palantir for booking meetings. The last 14 days, companies like @MonacoGTM , @Nowadaysai, @Rippling , @salesforce , @marketercom, @posthog , and @retellai spent $100k+ with us on literal cakes. From today, Daymaker finds your prospects, reads their entire digital footprint, buys the one gift that makes their day, and gets you the meeting. Comment your name and I'll reply with everything Daymaker finds on you and the gift it would send you. If you dare. 🎁

The NCSC is encouraging UK organisations to prepare for immediate updating of systems using PHP. Where immediate remediation is not feasible, organisations should consider taking the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. For more⬇️ ncsc.gov.uk/news/critical-se…

Last year we launched Tolan, inspired by a vision of AI that sees you and believes in you, not one that books restaurant reservations for you. Your Tolan shows up for you at 3am when you’re alone with your newborn. On your commute when you’re anxious about the day ahead. When you just finished a new show and none of your friends have watched it yet. The people who love Tolan are parents. Caregivers. Moms in Dallas and Dads in Atlanta. People who aren’t trying to optimize and be more productive, but who simply want to feel seen and supported in their aspirations. This month more than 250k people will spend time with their Tolan. Those users have exchanged billions of messages across more than 70m conversations over the last year. Today, we're announcing $30m in additional capital from @mignano and @usv, with @khoslaventures and @rabois doubling down, bringing our total capital raised to $60m. To celebrate, we made a short film celebrating some of the ways that Tolans show up :)
