Personal update to share. After 8.5 years, I've decided to step away from day to day operations at @Audius. I'll remain on the foundation board and continue to be an active participant there going forward. I spent 25% of my life to date working on Audius. My most formative life experiences happened during this time. I am sad, but I also recognize that Audius needs fresh eyes and fresh ideas to reposition in today’s market. The project is in great hands, and I’m very excited about where things are headed. The API product is growing rapidly: AI-assisted software engineering has been a strong tailwind for programmatic usage of Audius by developers. Lots coming down the pipe with that product line soon too. As for what's next for me, more on that soon. But for now, I just want to say thank you to everyone who has supported the Audius mission over all these years - team members, investors, ecosystem partners, and most importantly, the community of creators that have made Audius such a special place to hang out over all these years. Your support means the world, and together, we created something special that continues to stand the test of time. More to come!

been hit by the same @lyft scam a few times now - driver goes near but not to pickup point (wrong airport floor, one block off, etc) - this triggers wait timer - driver leaves - timer expires and you pay cancellation fee and lyft support is beyond incompetent, some AI slop bot

RIP to the legend

Super excited for Jeremy and Editframe today Can't stop thinking about this since he and I last chatted: A new round of format wars are upon us. As agents grow increasingly capable, open formats have a powerful tailwind due to their legibility. Editframe is an intersection of these things: an open format for video editing built on HTML/CSS, so it's familiar enough to untrained agentic tools to use on the fly. Using it the past few months, it one-shots things I wouldn't have the slightest clue how to do in Final Cut or Premiere. Agents can't use those tools effectively either because their formats are illegible. LLM legibility can be bootstrapped by deriving from existing formats in other domains. Not an investor, just a fan and friend!

if you work in tech and are not in awe, nearly every day, of what you're seeing, you lack imagination

this is super cool: bespoke use case powered by Open Audio Protocol, built by agentic software tools if you can dream it, it’s now easier to build than ever. @audius and Open Audio Protocol will power the next generation of music applications

wasted too much time playing this last week 😂

programmable and permissionless markets for resources are only possible with crypto rails @audius brings that open market approach to music and the rise of agent-driven software engineering makes programmability accessible and valuable to far more people than ever before
