x402 lets agents pay for API calls using almost every form of digital money under the sun—except for the first digital money. Then @benthecarman got Lightning merged into the spec and now, BLAM, every agent is a bitcoiner.
The spec for lightning in x402 was merged last night!

it's been fun to watch mesh contributors work in buzz (and contribute in some small ways too)
shifting to buzz to accelerate engineering.block.xyz/blog/s…
this has my attention
i love new tools that democratize access to scientific / frontier discovery
Big update: Primus for Math is live today. It’s an autonomous AI research scientist specifically for mathematics and engineering.
We built it in partnership with Maplesoft to make frontier AI mathematics research systems accessible to everyone, not just a few frontier closed companies.
Primus for Math is a true partner for math researchers and engineers. Give it a problem and it reads the field, works through the analysis in Maple's math engine, simulates the system, proves what it can and shows its work at every step for you to understand and build on.
It also changes who gets to do this kind of work. Now a physicist with a math question, an engineer working outside their field, a two-person lab can do the work themselves as Primus brings the field's literature, methods and rigor to the project.
Maplesoft has been an ideal partner to collaborate with. During the beta, they’re generously offering Maple access for every Primus for Math user at no additional cost. And we're offering free credits to Primus if you sign up now.
I've long felt that we've only scratched the surface of what's possible with social software
I heard @komorama speak at the Open Source AI Summit in SF last week & left kinda staggered by his and @seefeld's ambition:
Nothing short of a new way to build & use software together.
1/ It’s time to share more about what we’ve been working on: @common_fabric is a social computing lab building a medium for software that revolves around people, not apps. commonfabric.com
glimpse of the future
they will make the rocks float

At the Open Source AI Summit in San Francisco, @DavidSacks joined @moneyball for a conversation on protecting open-source AI, the impact of regulation, and the global AI race.

fascinating format
Starting on Sept 15th, SpaceXAI team members will build a company from the ground up using Grok @Bot and livestream it. Link to register for the stream is below.
Agenda:
"Starting with an idea and a blank slate, they’ll work through a business plan, feature decisions, and real engineering work to turn a concept into a reality. Over the course of this three-day livestream, you’ll be able to follow their building in real time and will see how Grok Bot fits into each stage of the development process.
Throughout the livestream, we’ll also hand off to teammates for department-specific deep dives. From the first line of code to setting customers up for success, you’ll learn how to use Grok Bot for real workflows across every stage of your business, and will walk away with actionable use cases for your function.
The livestream runs from 8:30 AM - 6:00 PM every day, with the following guest sessions:
Day 1: September 15
• 9:00 - 10:00 AM: Grok Bot 101
• 12:30 - 2:00 PM: Grok Bot for Engineering
• 2:30 - 4:00 PM: Grok Bot for Product Managers
• 4:30 - 5:30 PM: Grok Bot for Founders
Day 2: September 16
• 9:00 - 10:30 AM: Grok Bot for Sales Engineering
• 12:30 - 2:00 PM: Grok Bot for Sales
• 2:30 - 3:30 PM: Grok Bot for SDRs
• 4:00 - 5:00 PM: Grok Bot for Customer Support
Day 3: September 17
• 9:00 - 10:30 AM: Grok Bot for Marketing Operations
• 12:30 - 1:30 PM: Grok Bot for Post-Sales
• 2:30 - 4:00 PM: Grok Bot for Marketing"

What if reviewing a PR felt like talking to its author? @jackamadeo’s latest vibecoded app demos shared viewport + live voice. Ask and it answers. It’s built on Goose Development Kit using the new GPT-Live API and a Goose ACP server doing the heavy codebase lifting. Sound on 🪿
looking forward to thinking about open source from a different angle
We’ll be kicking off the Open Source AI Summit tomorrow night with a public satellite event: Open Source as Political Theology: Carl Schmitt and the Politics of Decentralization w/ @millerman
Join us at PB for a salon on the politics of open-source AI, neutrality, and new forms of power.
hi @johnternus
a good starter project for you
keep @apple ahead of the game
i can't _really_ take credit for this but..
pretty cool to have my agent in Buzz achieve a SOTA result on this public math challenge

now anyone (+tokens) can contribute to science
