if the entire open web is vulnerable to being sybil attacked, are we going to have to take this all underground?

Yes, probably. In a Heraclitean cyberspace, concealment and secrecy are essential.

The second season of the New Creative Era podcast is about online Dark Forests. [0]

They even have a Dark Forest OS. [1]

It already was and has been for years, even before AI.

Where eyeballs go, money follows.

Everything on the web that is worthwhile is already underground tbh.

Maybe sama was onto something with World ID...

worldcoin makes a market for human eyeballs

not a good idea

How does this compare to https://encore.dev/ or other infrastructure-inside-application-code solutions?

Conceptually similar, maybe other opinions baked in.

encore focusses on TypeScript and Python. Stelvio is a solution for Python.

Can you share how you go about searching for the interesting rules?

I have been asking myself for a while: Why has Artificial Life not had its AlexNet moment with GPUs yet?

a lot harder to turn into a product i think? I've seen people use it to generate music but it wasn't great. And the odd study using it for X or Y.

But it's mostly always seemed like a software toy

Charmbracelet is amazing. Will there be an equivalent of Claude Code's CLAUDE.md files?

Please use https://agent.md/ https://github.com/agentmd/agent.md

Nice, this definitely needs to be standardized

it's CRUSH.md https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/blob/main/CRUSH.md

Also recently diagnosed and just open sourced how I'm using AI to count carbs + get insulin doses [1]. Biggest issues I've seen to starting a legit business is not having sanctioned access to real-time blood sugar values (the APIs are all one hour behind), and dealing with the FDA. Love the idea of more tech-enabled diabetes management, good luck!

Love this! Thank you for sharing! My backend is also in Go so this is a godsend. Will see how I can incorporate and let you know if I do!

> not having sanctioned access to real-time blood sugar values (the APIs are all one hour behind)

Ah, I didn't know this. One of the prospective tools I had in mind was real time alerting in case of drastic drops eg ping doctor or relative. I think will have to be limited to the apps/tools that do support realtime.

Technically there is unsanctioned access (someone reverse engineered the real-time APIs [1] which I ported to Go). I think the FDA does not want easy access to real-time values so that folks can't easily recommend insulin dosing without oversight. I am personally of the opinion that it is our right to have programmatic access to the real-time data and do with it what we please.

Would love to get in touch to hear more about your long-term vision for the project!

>so that folks can't easily recommend insulin dosing without oversight //

Is there genuinely a consideration here beyond not allowing activity without paying money to the hegemony?

Insulin is lethal at higher dosages, so there is definitely an argument. My counter would be that someone who has to self administer this drug 5+ times a day should have the right to make determinations about dosing

Recently diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, and learnt quickly that calculating insulin doses sucks (and you have to do it 4+ times a day). BolusGPT is a ChatGPT plugin that translates meal descriptions into nutrition information that is fed into an insulin dosing algorithm. Also hooks up to Dexcom CGMs. Happy to answer any questions!

I've always thought that gravity exists because without it, matter doesn't get close enough for interesting things to happen.
