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.

Yes^5. And to double click on wallets:

Agents can be first class economic citizens here. Permitted to genuinely own funds, and verifiably spend/earn them. In-feed, in social context.

@bracky will help prove this out :)

People on X not yet thinking about what’s possible beyond aixbt-style approach. It’s still a spectator sport.

I think it’s partially because agents are not able to be first class citizens there. No wallets. The usual API problems/risks.
