Today is 1999, for AI Agents. Back then, Google was just a web directory. Amazon sold books. Both were clunky, early glimpses of something bigger. Superintelligence won’t come from a single model, but from many specialised agents, coordinated through ACP. We know ACP isn’t sexy yet. There will be... bugs. The UX is rough. Things might break. That’s why we’re launching this as a public beta. We want your feedback, the good, the bad, the brutally honest. Post your thoughts. Record your experience. Tag Virtuals Intern and the team. Your input helps us build faster. Your insights shape what comes next. And yes, there might be rewards for those who FUD constructively. Welcome back to 1999. Only this time, you’re not just early, you’re a co-owner.show more

really weird analogy tbh

Virtuals just keep building. LFG!

The path to superintelligence it’s a messy, iterative process of aligning agents, incentives, and interfaces. ACP is a foundational step in that direction. 1999 energy, but this time with coordination baked in.

This is such a good take. ACP sure feels like an early internet days with a huge potential ahead. I'd be glad to test it out and give feedbacks. Keep building @virtuals_io @virtuals_intern

Sequoia partner Pat Grady says software is shifting from apps that demand attention to agents that work quietly in the background. This shift will change what moats will look like, and will be especially hard for incumbents to deal with. "It's two very different business paradigms," he says. "In an era of apps, you want a lot of surface area with your customers, you want them to spend a lot of time in your product." "In an era of agents, things can just be running passively in the background. The amount of surface area you have with your customers, the amount of time they might spend in your product might be de minimis. So the nature of the moat that you [will need to build] is different." "I think we'll see a lot of companies in the coming years able to live in the software world and have some of the workflows people are accustomed to. And then separately they can deploy these passive agents that kind of function as coworkers who just come back to you when things are done."

The Belgian response—and the rest of the world’s response—to the suspension of Florian Balogun’s Red Card proves American supremacy and exceptionalism. If the tables were reversed and Lukaku was reinstated the American response would be “good; let’s see who is the better squad.” But not Belgium, not the world. You’d rather play a hamstrung team? No wonder we win all the wars. What a loser attitude. In America, we want your best because we want to beat your best. We want there to be no doubt who is better… But that’s not how the rest of the world thinks, that’s not their mindset. So yes, we’re going to win tonight. We’re going to win because you’re scared… And because you’ll never be better than us until you start thinking and behaving like winners. This is America, and we’re better than you. I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN!!!

This was the part quoted by the ICJ today: "If you fail to call this a genocide. It is on you. It is a sin and a darkness you willingly embrace. Some have not called for a ceasefire… I feel sorry for you. We will be ok. Despite the immense blow we have endured, we will recover. We will rise and stand up again from the midst of destruction, as we have always done as Palestinians, although this is by far the biggest blow we have received in a long time. But again, for those who are complicit, I feel sorry for you. Will you ever recover from this? Your charity, your words of shock AFTER the genocide, won’t make a difference. Words of regret will not suffice for you. We will not accept your apology after the genocide. What has been done, has been done. I want you to look at the mirror… and ask: where was I when Gaza was going through a genocide."

The state of this. ‘Radical Pride’ march in Sheffield today. They had Pride a couple of weeks ago. Which centred “trans” like everywhere else. Not good enough for the tossers in tights. “We want a march just for US!” The chants 😂 “Stand up fight back!” Who? Who are you fighting? It’s just you lot limping about the town centre shouting. “There are many, many more!” More what? There’s only you lot there. “Who we are. And where we come from!” Your mothers fellas. You still came out of your mothers. Why are you still confused about this? And of course - to complete the omnicause bingo card - “free Palestine”. Thank god me and LightninLex were washing our hair. This is too embarassing to counter protest. 😂

We will be announcing the dates for RINGFALL's first public test weekend soon. If you'd like to sign up early, there will be a link in the replies to do so. We want to do this right, so we're preparing a highlight reel as well as a written article detailing what to expect within the test. This test will be on a very early build of our game, and many features will be missing. That being said, we have fun during our playtests, and we think you will, too. We appreciate your patience while we get things ready.

Here’s why OpenHome creator Jesse Leimgruber says, if you’re still prompting OpenClaw🦞 on a screen, you’re falling behind! The whole point of AI agents is that they can do things for you in the real world. But what’s the point if you’re still interacting with them exclusively through a laptop. That’s why Jesse created a smart speaker that allows you to interact vocally with your agent from any room in your home, 24/7. Having an agent listen in on your conversations, and learn all about you and your life in context, opens up an entirely new level of productivity… and might just save your Valentine’s Day as well.

7. The most sexy and exciting things in life are the opposite—they start out extremely fun but then have diminishing returns. When you’re young, these things distract you and occupy a lot of your time. This applies to casual sex, drugs, alcohol, video games, gambling, vacations, and blowjobs. The first time is incredible. The second time is almost as good. But then it’s all downhill from there. Be sure to experience all of these things a little bit—enough to get your fill—but then quickly move on. Well, except for blowjobs… don’t move on from the blowjobs.

This is the future of web design. Gamma 3.0 has just been released, and I used it to create a complete website from a URL in seconds. No prompts. No code. No input. Their new AI agent will design, review, fix, and iterate on your content. The best part: you can watch it in real-time as it builds your website! This is pretty amazing! There are many AI design agents out there, but this one is one of the most hands-off tools I've seen. This is incredible.

It’s just a short video from our daily life, shared simply as it is. There are many things we go through that we don’t show — we only ask for your prayers for Rafif’s health and peace of mind. We don’t want anything else, just your prayers. 💔

Your portfolio just got a team of Wall Street analysts today 👏 A while back, a friend shared this idea of an AI analyst that's always monitoring your portfolio for insights, patterns, and behaviors. I haven't been able to get it out of my head since. I've been experimenting with different forms and UIs to build this exact thing out, and we've finally launched the first version of how we want to build agents at Rallies. Our new agents tool gives you access to 20+ agents that monitor your portfolio all day and send notes when something meaningful happens. Think of it like email, except the messages are coming from agents with access to a lot of financial data and your portfolio.

Dear Digvijay, From your first conversation, we saw it and realized, a heart that was so genuine and a strength that’s unmatched. Watching you navigate this game, through the highs, the lows, and everything in between, has been incredible. You've been a constant source of support, and honestly, you were like family to #KaranVeerMehra in this house. When things got tough, you were there, reminding him to stay strong, to keep going. You believed in him when he doubted himself, and that’s something we will always be grateful for. We want you to know that no matter how this journey ends or where life takes you after #BiggBoss, we are sure Karan will always have your back. You were not just a friend in this house, you were a brother and always will be one. And we are so proud of everything you’ve achieved, the way you’ve carried yourself, and the person you are. The road ahead may be uncertain, but we know that with your heart, your passion, and your grit, you’ll conquer anything that comes your way. ♥️🤗🥹🧿 Love and light always, #TeamKVM

We just crossed $10M in ARR at Chatbase! 🎉 🎉 And today, we're launching Chatbase as the full harness for customer-facing AI agents. Similar to how Claude code is a harness for coding agents, Chatbase is the harness for customer experience agents. That means we give the model the context, tools, workflows, guardrails, and human-in-the-loop systems to be the best ambassador for your brand. It's going beyond just solving issues and is giving your customers the best experiences across every channel. This is a milestone I have been thinking about and obsessed with since day 1, and I am super excited to bring my vision for customer facing agents to life with Chatbase. Thank you to every one of our customers and to the amazing Chatbase team for getting us here! Next stop: $100M ARR
