"AI Agents will likely be the most impactful technology of our generation". I'm @wkarsens and here you can find some of my open source work. Also see freelancing rules if you like to work with me.
- We're living through a technological paradigm shift that will change how we interact with computers, and how humans can find purpose. A new foundation is being created now. In this important time, I want to do my part setting good standards for HMC that benefits humanity.
- Big tech capitalism is trying to create a controlled closed ecosystem for AI. As AGI is approaching, misaligned commercial incentives become ever more extreme, and I don't want to live in this walled garden distopia. The solution is an open, accessible, modular ecosystem for AI Agents. An ecosystem without any vendor lock-in or privacy problems. An ecosystem where we, the people, stay in control.
- A dependency to the above is what I call "OpenAPI-first development". It is an opinionated way of design-first development where your OpenAPI serves as the SSOT for a lot of things, and you don't generate it, you rather generate pieces in your code FROM it.
- Most AI is focused around realtime co-pilots because we're all still used to the direct HMC. Try making ambient pilots that don't need to be fast.
- Pick my focus. Big topics like browser automation APIs and video editing are done by hundreds of companies and are extremely hard to stay competitive in; It's a never-ending cat and mouse game.
- Products and APIs change all the time. Instead of choosing to spend knowledgework time in specific niches, index all available capabilities.
- Most users care about their privacy and would want to have things ran locally. However, running locally is hard to setup and scale. Another way to have practical privacy is to keep the core local, but run smaller fleeting tasks in the cloud.
- How any API works exactly doesn't need to be abstracted away from. The only thing we need to do is determine API capability, quality, speed, cost, and availability.
