the ‘ghost kitchen’ era of the internet is coming very soon we’re going to see lots of websites and products that are built only for agents, without a human in the loop this is inevitably going to be the majority of traffic, and much larger than the human internet

an underrated source of good startup devtool ideas: taking an old boring API, then make it angent native + oss and have LLMs default to recommending it proved by this paper 2 yrs ago

The true North Star is sheer non-retail dependent volume. Fees matter. Sustainability is an attack vector. Comfy knowing the $LINK token can always be migrated to the next most secure blockchain if eth funding becomes existential.

cold open: google campus. a conference room named “moonshot serenity 4b.” twelve people are in a meeting titled: pre-sync for sync alignment on ai velocity. sundar sits calmly at the head of the table. a pm clicks to slide 1 of 187. “the agenda today is simple,” she says. “how do we move faster while preserving our culture of not doing that?” everyone nods. then the door opens. noam shazeer walks in. the room goes silent. noam: “i’m leaving.” a vp of gemini reliability, brand, trust, latency, policy, and vibe raises a hand. “leaving… this meeting?” noam: “google.” someone gasps. someone else opens a doc titled retention narrative draft final final noam v7. sundar blinks once. “noam, we brought you back.” “for two point seven billion dollars.” “technically you licensed some technology and reacquired talent.” “that sentence is why we need legal in the room.” legal is already there. cut to: openai. sam altman stands beside a whiteboard that just says ship. an engineer walks by carrying a server rack and what appears to be the future. sam: “we can offer speed, compute, and one meeting.” noam: “one meeting per week?” sam: “no. one meeting. total.” back at google, the emergency retention committee forms instantly. it has 31 members. a director says, “what if we give him a new title?” “he already co-leads gemini.” “distinguished super co-lead?” “google fellow?” “he already left google, founded a company, got brought back for billions, then left again. he’s folklore.” meanwhile, a gemini launch review begins. pm: “we’re ready to announce the model.” policy: “can it answer questions?” eng: “yes.” policy: “too risky.” marketing: “can we call it experimental?” research: “the model is better than the last one.” brand: “better is aggressive.” trust & safety: “what about ‘more contextually adjacent to usefulness’?” a staff engineer whispers, “openai just shipped a model while we were discussing the adjective.” cut to noam’s exit interview. hr: “what could google have done better?” flashback montage: a chatbot blocked because it might be too good. a launch delayed because a button was the wrong shade of responsible blue. a spreadsheet comparing twelve ai product names. a meeting where someone says “we need a single coherent ai strategy” and three new strategies are created before lunch. noam: “nothing comes to mind.” hr: “great. we’ll mark that as positive attrition.” later, sundar calls him privately. “google is still google. best researchers. best infrastructure. billions of users.” “yes.” “so why leave?” noam looks out the window. “because you have everything except permission.” silence. sundar, softly: “we can create a permission working group.” cut to all-hands. sundar addresses the company. “noam is leaving. this is not a loss. it is an opportunity to reflect on our operating model.” chat explodes: “is this recorded?” “which gemini?” “can we ask gemini why people keep leaving?” “it said ‘insufficient context.’” a vp steps up. “to honor noam’s legacy, we’re launching project attention.” applause. “it will study whether attention is, in fact, all we need.” a researcher raises a hand. “didn’t we answer that in 2017?” “yes. but now we need enterprise readiness.” final scene: noam arrives at openai. badge works instantly. receptionist: “yeah, we just made one.” no pre-read. no doc. just a whiteboard, five people, and a model running somewhere hot enough to toast bread. sam: “ready?” noam smiles. cut back to google. a calendar invite appears: meeting: reduce meetings task force kickoff duration: 90 minutes required attendees: 214 sundar sighs, opens gemini, and types: “how do we move faster?” gemini responds: “have you considered leaving google?” smash cut to credits.

My interpretation of this: Right now, Anthropic and OpenAI are making a killing by selling enterprise FDE services to F500s, building workflows for them on top of proprietary models, then using the traces and context from this to build RL envs to improve the models. This is

The cool thing about the open source harness tools like hermes, openclaw, gbrain, etc is that you totally avoid vendor lock in while still getting gains from advanced closed models. Don’t be enslaved to any single provider, keep building up your personal AI stack.
