I recently noticed Slack has restricted access to data downloads to a higher tier of subscription, not the first paid tier but the second one. Only public channel messages are downloadable. The same will happen for other apps, the moat will be your data, and the aim to make accessing data harder - complicated structures, training in a very custom solution that is so specialised you cannot leave.
Before: Big companies tried to harvest as much data as possible
Now: They need to protect it
Time to be aware of the data your organisation has, and the optionality you currently have in regards to the software you use and the licenses you have with the stewards of the information!

I think I’d say no - it shows effort in making a great agent however it raises concerns about how much the candidate is really into _that_ company. It’s hard to know if you’ve applied to 1000 positions or just this one, and if you applied to 1000 responding to you (or continuing the process) is a waste of time 😬

After visiting a Generative AI conference in London last week I genuinely think there is misallocation of funds in big corps. There was a presentation on how to ensure AI agents stick to protocol and don’t hallucinate or come up with creative responses that are unexpected. To solve for this one had to build incredible amounts of test data, heuristic quality gates, non LLM based judge criteria etc. at every step of an agent pipeline.
Listening to the presentation, I was convinced their whole pipeline could have been built and run successfully just using those heuristic tests alone, and that sometime inside BigCorp, a few million was earmarked: “How can we do this with AI?” and not “Should we do this with AI?”
It felt a bit like listening to a session on how to ensure a genius multi disciplinary artist would excel at accounting.

Inspiration for this post came from Nan Yu's excellent short post "Skip to the end": https://thenanyu.com/skip-to-the-end.html

2025-09-09 10:21:53 GMT

User interfaces are going away
I think the end of interfaces is coming faster than most people expect. Not the gradual evolution we've seen before, from desktop websites only to two versions to dynamically resizing websites working on every screen size, but a complete removal of the interface altogether.
We're creatures of habit, returning to the same digital spaces - Netflix for this, Spotify for that, each with its own login, its own subscription, its own carefully designed experience.
We expect a certain experience from within all of these apps - but soon we will expect a certain experience one level above the apps.
Soon we won't browse Netflix or manage Hulu subscriptions. We'll simply ask for what we want and receive it, or even have it recommended to us based on various interactions we've had. The content finds us, not the other way around.
The technical shift is profound but the business model shift is even bigger. Today's walled gardens exist because companies need to own the customer relationship. Tomorrow, that relationship disappears - I get my content, whoever owns the rights to it gets paid, and I never need to care about who they are.
What enables this isn't just AI that understands our intent. It's payment infrastructure that can move money frictionlessly, instantly, to the right party without us managing accounts or subscriptions or even knowing where our content comes from.
Every streaming service, every media company, every platform betting on exclusive content and beautiful interfaces - they're all building for a world that's about to disappear.
The pieces are converging. Frictionless, vendor less, payments, AI that truly understands context, and a generation that values access over ownership.
I think now is the time to work with these things in mind, and create a decentralised, democratised system, based on solid foundations and open source
Curious to hear what others think!

A companion "profile" could keep your payment details, and forward that onto the service when authorised. You're "logged in" simply by using your phone number.

A restaurant/vet/service booking tool that can pick up the phone when an operator is busy and schedule people in based on needs and availability. I’m sure something exists but it would be fun to build and could be cheap to implement for the services. Text to voice and voice to text models are really great these days. #GrowNostr #Build #AI

I wonder when, and I think it is soon, humans will start preferring to read, or will simply spend most of our time reading, AI generated pieces of text over human written ones. What’s maybe more interesting is perhaps what pieces of content will be the last to go, or will never go, and why?
We are inherently social creatures so the mere fact of knowing that some content was written by someone we trust, often trumps everything else - even the truth itself.
Content comes of all sorts - from news/information, entertainment (and the two are getting dangerously close these days) to pure propaganda. Now though, they can have two sources - a person or a system.
We need to prepare for a future where two categories of content live side by side and being able to distinguish them easily will be crucial.
Bringing public/private key cryptography together with an incredibly simple to understand UX will be a big part of this.
Would love to hear from others who are thinking about this too.

Doing a lot of recruitment these days and have made some reflections - one is: New grads getting into programming these days need to take care not to let language models ruin their experience learning. We are not yet there that we can autonomously build and run *quality* software purely by prompting, so everyone building software currently do need to understand and learn the basics. Too easy to auto-complete our way from understanding at the moment.

Really cool stuff - looks solid! On the nostr apps, I’m currently working on a web app that uses nostr for login and interactivity (essentially a listing of software agents where users can vote, submit, discuss clients and implementations etc) - is that something you would consider an “app” that could be found and loaded from within notedeck, or are all apps essentially built _for_ notedeck? Right now I depend on the user having a plugin like Alby or nos2x to log in, seems more easy to do if it’s found from within something like notedeck!

What is the best way to add Lightning login and ability to sign messages on a website these days? I tried using weblm and Alby, but alby weirdly does not allow signing unless using an Alby Hub.

Thanks for that Michael - is it this you're referring to: https://blog.iil.com/digital-value-management-system-dvms/ ?
What I was thinking nostr could do was to automatically have lots of user interfaces already built, and a simple protocol that anyone can implement to discover things - imagine if you could send a message on nostr about a "thing" you need, like an analysis on a topic, and a service could pick it up, look for the "thing" IT needs from another service and come back to you?

Been thinking about creating a "discuss this" (maybe similar to "disqus"?) OSS plugin for websites that uses NOSTR, but is dead simple to understand, and can be used without knowing what nostr is. Hoping to get to a state where each implementation is linked to the current web address (to discuss an article / paper / etc) and have users delightfully discover that they can use the same "login" (nsec) on other pages. Does something like this exist or is it worth giving a go? #nostr #foss #development #inspiration
