Amazon Ring died on May 22, 2026. It just doesn't know yet. One dad in Nashville, Tennessee built a free MIT-licensed app that watches your driveway, your porch, your baby monitor, your garage. No cloud. No subscription. No cop ever gets the footage. 32,057 stars. 3,103 forks. Pushed today. Here is the wildest part: You: "How much is Ring Protect Pro?" Ring: "$19.99 a month. $199.99 a year. Per house." You: "How much is Google Home Premium Advanced?" Google: "$20 a month. $200 a year. Per house." You: "What do I get?" Both: "We store your footage in our cloud. Ring already paid the FTC $5.8 million in 2023 for letting employees and contractors watch your videos without your consent. Google just raised Nest prices again in 2025." You: "What does Frigate cost?" Blake Blackshear: "Nothing. It runs on the Raspberry Pi already on your shelf. The footage never leaves your house. I have a day job." Ring sells the camera. Then sells your fear back to you, monthly, forever. Frigate sells nothing. Because Blake isn't selling. He's a dad with 1,267 followers who got tired of Amazon owning his front door. 100% Opensource. 100% Local. 100% Yours. The smart camera industry made one bad assumption. That you'd keep paying rent on a camera you already bought. That assumption just died in Nashville.

@indexnetwork_ Distribution and coordination are expensive partly because most networks are extractive by design. They don’t really exist to serve your intent. They exist to capture and monetize your attention. We have the primitives to build the answer to social media black box feeds.

“Most of the long tail dies” is such a good framing. So many real intentions never reach the world because expressing them is socially expensive: finding the right channel, broadcasting, filtering, negotiating. Agents keeping ambient intent alive changes that completely.
timour kosters@timourxyz

I think ambient intents are going to be a big deal. There are so many intentions we have that would make our lives better, but the cost of surfacing them to a market it too high, so they never become legible to the world. You want a better job, you want to swap your couch, you would apartment-swap with someone in your web-of-trust, you would upgrade from a two-bedroom to a three-bedroom if there were some graceful way to find the person who wants to size down, and you would love to sublet you place in New York without posting on Instagram and making 95% of you friends read a logistical errand that has nothing to do with them. Right now, the cost of expressing these intents is high. You have to remember the want, decide it is worth acting on, find the right channel, phrase it socially, tolerate the inbound, filter for trust, negotiate details, and then keep the whole thing alive in your head. So most of the long tail dies. Agents change this because they can keep the low-grade, half-formed wants running in the background. They know your calendar, your travel plans, your music, your reading, your friends, your constraints, and maybe your willingness to be interrupted. You listen to a band on repeat on Spotify and your agent notices they are playing 20 minutes from where you will be in California next month. You highlight a book you love in Readwise and it tells you that your friend is reading it too, and you will both be at the same dinner next week. You mention wanting Berlin in June and it quietly checks whether any trusted people from there want to apartment swap in New York then. The magic is lowering the cost of noticing, holding, matching, and negotiating these things. It will feel like a higher level of serendipity. This will require a web-of-trust that has yet to be built because there is an important privacy aspect to this. The dystopian version is "AI companies capture your intentions and auction them to whoever wants to manipulate you." The useful version is user-owned intents, where your agent can prove enough to match or negotiate without dumping your private life into a marketplace. Some of this already has been solved in cryptography: private set intersection for finding overlaps without revealing all non-matches, secure multiparty computation / homomorphic encryption for computing matches or scores over private inputs, zero-knowledge credentials for proving things like membership, attendance, reputation, or trust path without exposing everything underneath. If this works, a lot of modern life gets more liquid. Idea sharing, couches, apartments, reading groups, dinner plans, travel overlaps, introductions, tiny labor exchanges, borrowing a camera, finding the one person at an event who cares about the same weird thing. All the stuff that currently relies on posting into the void and hoping the right person happens to see it. The hard parts are real: consent, spam, weird incentives, agent loyalty, social context, and making sure this becomes a tool for people rather than a new ad exchange with better vibes. But I increasingly think the big unlock is giving our unexpressed intentions a safe place to live, and giving our agents permission to help them find each other. I know of @indexnetwork_ working on this. Anyone else?

@Param_eth Do you need ownership of your own media? Do you want discovery of media without the algo? Do you want to earn alongside your favorite creators? 😏

@0xSammy A clear financial and social incentive to use crypto primitives in a novel and entertaining way. Make money using content you own. That’s what we’re grilling up.

100% agree with this. Opus 4.5 is just bonkers-good
Mckay Wrigley@mckaywrigley

Here are my Opus 4.5 thoughts after ~2 weeks of use. First some general thoughts, then some practical stuff. --- THE BIG PICTURE --- THE UNLOCK FOR AGENTS It's clear to anyone who's used Opus 4.5 that AI progress isn't slowing down. I'm surprised more people aren't treating this as a major moment. I suspect getting released right before Thanksgiving combined with everyone at NeurIPS this week has delayed discourse on it by 2 weeks. But this is the best model for both code and for agents, and it's not close. The analogy has been made that this is another 3.5 Sonnet moment, and I agree. But what does that mean? Every few generations we get a major model unlock - a moment that unlocks a new way of working. GPT-4 was the unlock for chat, Sonnet 3.5 was the unlock for code, and now Opus 4.5 is the unlock for agents. Thanks to Opus 4.5, agents can now work reliably on increasingly longer time horizons and get real-world work done on your behalf. Opus 4.5 is like a Waymo. You tell it "take me from A to B", and it takes you there. After a few of these experiences your brain realizes "oh. ok. we live in this world now". And then you're hooked. From that moment on, you'll never work the same way again. THE YEAR OF AGENTS 2025 has been touted as the year of agents, and Opus 4.5 + Claude Agent SDK is the pairing that makes that phrase true. The Claude Agent SDK is the best open secret in AI right now. An agent's harness matters almost as much as its model. If you have a bad harness, then you may as well have a bad model. With the SDK you get a world-class agentic harness out-of-the-box which you can now pair with Opus 4.5 to build real-world agents that actually work. I'm reminded of Alan Kay's quote "People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware". The agent version of this is "people who are serious about models should make their own harness". Anthropic clearly believes this, and it's working. The pairing of these tools is magic. I would describe myself as being "unhobblings-pilled", and the Claude Agent SDK + Opus 4.5 is the next major unhobbling. There's now another OOM of new latent economic value stuck in this combo, and it's the job of builders to get it out. If you were bearish on agents, now is the time to turn bullish. "ALL OF THIS IS REAL" "You know what's crazy? That all of this is real". This was Ilya's opening line about the state of AI in his Dwarkesh interview, and I echo that sentiment. I can't believe that Opus 4.5 is real. There have been several times as Opus 4.5's been working where I've quite literally leaned back in my chair and given an audible laugh over how wild it is that we live in a world where it exists and where agents are this good. Nat Friedman has this great question on his website: "Where do you get your dopamine?" Increasingly, I get mine from Claude. LONG ANTHROPIC I saw a post yesterday where someone said that Opus 4.5 was the most important thing to happen to them in their professional career. This will be true for more people going forward. Every year for the past 3 years, Anthropic has grown revenue by 10x. $1M to $100M in 2023, $100M to $1B in 2024, and $1B to $10B in 2025. In Dario's recent DealBook interview he expressed that he wasn't sure if that 10x pattern would hold for 2026. While he's probably right, I do expect Anthropic's revenue at the end of next year to be much higher than everyone expects. It wouldn't surprise me if they passed OpenAI in valuation by early 2027. Opus 4.5 is too good of a model, Claude Agent SDK is too good of a harness, and their focus on the enterprise is too obviously correct. Claude Opus 4.5 is a winner. And Anthropic will keep winning.
