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.

has anyone thought about what an AI first FC client would feel like?

thanks for the shoutout!

i think the new atlas frame will be a cool preview of where i think ai<>social can be implemented across a few different features / app categories

thanks, yeah, there's two options:

1. i'm speaking tmrw at ~1:30 ET on this call about the bigger atlas picture, or

2. try out the frame 

the atlas frame will have some client characteristics (e.g. farcaster users, casts, some replies) but that's just the tip of the iceberg

i would definitely read more about your vision. i know you didn't want to build a client at first. have you changed your mind?
