Farcaster

What does an AI-first social network look like? Some thoughts.

First, you can prototype it with Farcaster. You don’t need to reinvent users, wallets, the feed, any of that. So that alone speeds you up.

Second, open source models are now cheap enough to run that you can just put them behind a normal button. X’s Grok integration is a good example.

Third, there is tremendous room for an AI which is prompted not just on immediate context (your post) but on social context (your past posts and those of your friends). It could autogenerate prompts it thinks you’d like.

Fourth, AI improvements on seemingly simple things like image upload widgets could be profound. You could automatically search for similar images, upscale them, auto-annotate them, or do something else.

Fifth, AI could enforce a certain style in a community. As heavy-handed example, every post could be rewritten in Olde English. If you opted into this kind of moderation, it could produce unique communities. Like filters, but for text.

Sixth, this AI could be your creative sidekick, whispering genius tips on how to turn your posts into gripping tales,
or even drafting something so cool it leaves everyone jaws-dropped.

Seventh, it could act like a digital stargazer, pinpointing the perfect moments to post or reply. 
By tracking your friends’ rhythms, it’d say, “Now’s the time,
hit ‘em right on target!”

Eighth, picture AI as the referee of your debates. 
When a convo gets too fiery and teeters on the edge of chaos, it swoops in like a savvy judge, sums up the chatter, and with a slick move, nudges everyone onto a cool, positive track.
