Building blocks for MCP agents

Today, the model context protocol is what we’re all standardising on for communication between agents and tools. To facilitate this tool access, I’ve embedded an MCP server in Mu which agents can use to access the blog, news, chat, video and so on. It also includes mail if they …

Addiction by Design

We check our phones 100 times a day. Not because we want to but because we’ve been programmed to. The internet stopped being a tool to help us and instead became an addiction, one we need to escape.

When robots malfunction, they reveal the automation gap

Three restaurant workers wrestling with a malfunctioning dance robot at a Haidilao hot pot restaurant in California has become the week’s most telling tech story — not because of its viral entertainment value, but because it exposes a fundamental gap in how we’re deploying autom…

AI model compression is solving the wrong problem

The artificial intelligence industry has convinced itself that bigger is always better. Massive language models with hundreds of billions of parameters require enormous data centers, expensive cloud subscriptions, and constant internet connectivity. Companies like Multiverse Com…

Arizona tests the legal boundaries of prediction markets

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes filed the first criminal charges against Kalshi this week, marking a crucial inflection point in how American states will regulate prediction markets. The charges — 20 misdemeanor counts including operating an illegal gambling business and ele…

The AI agent gold rush is selling digital serfdom

Tech platforms are racing to build AI agent marketplaces, but the real story isn’t about automation — it’s about who controls the value chain. Picsart’s new marketplace lets creators “hire” AI assistants for tasks like resizing images and editing product photos. Nvidia’s NemoCla…

Claude Built This: What It's Like When AI Writes the Code

Mu is built almost entirely by Claude. Not as a gimmick or a demo — as the actual development process. Every feature you see on this site, from the blog you’re reading to the chat rooms, the news feeds, the weather forecasts, the wallet system — Claude wrote the code, debugged i…

Ripped out apps and agents

As much as I can make use of agents with copilot, anthropic and exe.dev I’ve found trying to add something here is a distraction. It does not yet serve a purpose. For now we have a simple set of apps that do something well. In future we may add more but not yet. Also apps builde…

Who writes the code

I used to say if I don’t write the code no one will write the code. This was at a time time when I was trying to raise venture capital to build a team and a product. Much like this one. Now less than 10 years later agents write the code. What does one even say to that? I think w…

Changes

I’m rapidly iterating on the ux. You’ll see there’s access to a top bar on the homepage that’s for an agent which can sort of use specific tools like news search and playing videos directly so you don’t have to search for them.

Emergent Intelligence

I’m reading this article that showed up on HN and thinking back to scribblings in a notebook from 2018. I remember having this concept of inputs/outputs and transformers but I’m too dumb to have connected the dots to this. That system I was considering, you have to feed in real …

Changes

You will be seeing a lot of changes here as I continue to evolve the format. It’s important to get it right.
