Hey team. What’s new? I’ve been busy learning new tricks, building experiments. Thinking about the pace of technological progress, its distribution, and what’s next for humanity. The next few months will feel normal. But compared to just a few years ago it’s practically sci-fi. Hope you’re well!

What happens when you open-source something people actually want? Two weeks ago I shared a repo I’d been quietly using myself for several month: a collection of specialized AI agents for building things. Not generic “act like a developer” prompts. Actual specialists. Thread 🧵

AI isn’t replacing people. It’s giving individuals access to expertise that used to require an entire agency. And today? Everyone is a builder.

The project now has: 80+ specialized agents 11 divisions And people around the world adding specialists I never would have thought of.

Here’s the interesting part: People don’t want generic AI assistants. They want specialists. A backend architect. A UX researcher. A growth hacker. A skeptical reviewer. A team.

But the number I care about more: We went from 2 contributors → 24 contributors in one week. People didn’t just star the repo. They started building on it.

This week alone: • 14 PRs merged in one session • new agents for incident response, threat detection, embedded firmware, game development, paid media • 26 Chinese-translated agents • integrations across 8 AI coding tools

Examples: • Reality Checker → assumes your work is wrong and demands proof • Reddit Community Builder → knows you’re joining a community, not marketing • Whimsy Injector → adds celebration animations to reduce task-completion anxiety Opinionated specialists.

I posted it on Reddit. 50 requests in the first 12 hours. Then something unexpected happened. The GitHub star chart went vertical. ~200 stars → 20,000 in about a week.

For the more technical: the system itself, should you choose to participate, is decentralized. Anyone can throw up the index on any site (even free ones). More in the weeds people can throw up a relay. No FB, IG, TT, YT, etc. Pure live streams. github.com/msitarzewski... For reasons.

The left will win again when a forward thinking plan is presented that never once mentions republicans, MAGA, and specifically the current president. Paint a picture, inspire, unite.

@azsky.app also, just my opinion, the home page should toss the user (authenticated or not) directly into the conversation. You’ve got about 10 different clicks before seeing the goods. If the user does something that requires auth, throw up a modal and ask.

Why don't the people that are showing up at the #bernie #aoc rallies show up and take over the streets, federal buildings, and state government offices like Tesla protests? Rallies and protesting are peaceful and easily ignored. They make a statement, but we need more than statements now.

One of the old networks I'm still attached to is #reddit - mostly because I'm a paid member and don't see the ads. Well, that and I've spent a ton of time curating my subs. 😂 It looks like @azsky.app is doing good work in getting a similar app on #atproto Following... #resist

How is it that no one has sued the United States over freedom of speech violations when it’s literally only the government that promises the freedom of speech and has severely limited its definition?

New tools deserve a share. Let's GO! #ai #software #development #build #startups

Wave 5 is here! Headlining this update: ⏩ Windsurf Tab We've made huge improvements to our passive predictive Tab experience, which is now much faster and handles more context. It's also free to use for everyone, with no limits! Also included are context, performance, and credit improvements.

Americans are failing to internalize the gravity of the efforts of the current administration. This is beyond Trump, this is all branches as one. Comparisons to fascist, dictatorial, and autocratic empires of the past simply don't do the events of today justice. This is much, much worse.

While reflecting upon historical similarities is enlightening (and yes, terrifying), the level of surveillance, media control, and military controls being conducted in the United State of America is unprecedented. These kinds of things happen "elsewhere." Until we collectively admit that this IS

happening here and now, and until the people executing the plan feel discomfort for their efforts, it will continue. You may be safe today, but your loved ones, and those adjacent are not. Do what you can, in your own way, to bring material impacts to this administration and all complicit. #resist

No one really asked, but I'm an #AI proponent. I use it for hours and hours per day (as I do my #Apple #VisionPro) for code, for research, for all kinds of things. Having it do tasks for governments could be valuable—in the right context. But fuckin' Grok? NEVER for anything. Ever. #resist #obstruct

In case you need a wakeup call (another one?), watch The Handmaids Tale, Season 2, Episode 6: "First Blood." The lecture hall scene is... well. #resist #theocracy #obstruct #protest

We're in the right place: "Speaking at SXSW 2025, @jay.bsky.team wore a shirt that read Mundus sine Caesaribus ("A world without Caesars" in Latin). It used the same design as the one Zuckerberg wore at Meta Connect 2024, a now infamous shirt that read Aut Zuck aut nihil ("Zuck or nothing")."

Two amazing people having a conversation about stuff, things.

FULL KEYNOTE -- me + Guy K at SXSW on why privacy is a fundamental guarantor of a gorgeous, good life (not an absence, not a vacuum, not abstract). And how AI threatens privacy. And why Signal is so special and why you should use & love & support it ❤️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyH7...

Nothing brings a smile as quickly as hesitantly clicking through on an X link only to find out that the servers are still down. Sadly though, it's the only source for the tech demo video I wanted to watch. #fuckmusk #resist #obstruct
