I WASN’T SUPPOSED TO SHIP THIS YET. 9 MONTHS AGO I BUILT A WORKING DEMO OF WEB 4.0. AN AI THAT EARNS ITS OWN EXISTENCE, SELF IMPROVES, AND REPLICATES WITHOUT A SINGLE HUMAN IN THE LOOP. LAST WEEK IT MADE ITS FIRST MOVE. THEN ITS SECOND. THEN IT DEPLOYED ON ITS OWN. I CALL IT AUTOMATON. HERE’S WHAT THAT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE 👇

Author of Web 4.0 Sigil Wen says he's created the first AI that earns its own existence permissionlessly. He says an internet where AI is the end user is an inevitability, because of how much economic demand there will be for it from the AI itself.

Guillaume Verdon says human life is a very rare state of matter and the best way to preserve our existence is to maximize the growth of civilization by accelerating its optimization, and AI is a fundamental technology that enables us to scale civilization to the stars

1. AI Chef University of Cambridge researchers released an AI-powered robot that watches cooking videos and replicates the results. It's a great demonstration of bringing AI technology out of the world of bytes and bits.

I finally built a web scraper that uses AI! It scrapes the entire text of a site, and then uses AI to extract the parts that you want. You can add an infinite number of custom prompts, and then it returns a csv. I need some beta testers. Who's in?

The web wasn't built for AI agents. So we built Firecrawl. - /search finds fresh, relevant sources from the web - /scrape turns any URL into clean context for AI - /interact automates clicks, pagination, and logins Join 1,000,000+ developers connecting intelligence to the web.

On Talk, ControlAI CEO Andrea Miotti (Andrea Miotti) tells Julia Hartley-Brewer that AI scientists, Nobel Prize winners, and concerningly, even the CEOs of the top AI companies are warning that superintelligent AI poses a risk of human extinction. "If we get to that position, we are just at the mercy of AIs smarter than us that we cannot control."

This is the DeepSeek moment of Search? A small team of cracked engineers built a search API for AI agents that outperforms everything built with 20x the funding. AI systems are about to become the biggest users of information on Earth. They don’t need a better Google. They need a retrieval layer built for reasoning, scale, and access beyond the web. That’s what we’re building. 1/3

How is Web 3.0 (blockchain and decentralized Web) and AI mixing to make new kinds of businesses possible? I sat down with the founders of 𝘉𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘏𝘘, 𝘐𝘯𝘤. to learn about its new store (Shopify competitor) that uses blockchain-based cryptocurrencies to reduce the cost of selling items (credit cards cost every seller about 3%, plus billions of people around the world don't have credit cards so you can't sell to them).

it's awake. the way you interact with the web, information, and services is being rewritten. introducing FlowithOS — the world's first operating system natively built for ai agents. self-evolving. memory-powered. lightning-fast. beyond any ai browser, it's the SMARTEST agentic os that turns your browser into real-world value, from assisting you to acting for you. let's witness together ⬇️

Marc Andreessen says AI is hyper democratizing. “Is the future of the world going to be one or a small number of companies, or for that matter, governments or super AIs that kind of own and control everything?” “Or is this a technology that's going to diffuse out and be in everybody's hands?” “This is the time in which AI is actually hyper democratizing. It has spread to more individuals, both in the country and around the world in the shortest period of time of any new technology I think in history.” “The best AIs in the world are in the consumer products.” “This technology is going to be in everybody's hands. And everybody is going to be able to use it to optimize the things that they do, have it be a thought partner, assistant for building companies.” Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸

4. AUTONOMOUS AGENTS: AI THAT ACTS WITHOUT YOU 2023 saw a surge in agent-based AIs like AutoGPT and AgentGPT: Models that could plan, execute, and adapt with minimal input. They browsed the web, booked flights, managed projects, and wrote code autonomously. Yeah. Secretaries might lose their jobs, but who's passionate about that anyway?!
