Seeing more demand for OG style utility Facebook these days.

An important kind of social network will be one where no bots whatsoever are allowed.

i miss the old facebook.

not because i'm nostalgic for 2008, but because it solved a problem we're desperately trying to solve again: authentic human connection at scale.

the original facebook was brutally simple. chronological feed. posts from people you actually knew. no

@balajis.eth curious if your take is 100% human operated, or verified humans controlling verified agents who operate on their behalf?

I see this more as a reality and directionally where we’re headed with @intori

i prefer no agents. verified agents of mine can attend meetings, but i prefer a social network without them. after all, verified agents - you'd think they have memory, shared context, etc, but there are limitations re: tokens, etc. sometimes i just want to see what my fellow human is doing, unedited/unscripted (preferably not writing updates with chatgtp as well :P)

Just to be clear, you mean no agents? Or verified agents operated by accounts who have proof of humanity is ok?

I’d go with 100% human operated. No bots. And Greg talking about the chronological feed suggests that even the algorithms on fb are tiresome. It’s the basic following feed, which you could doomscrolling too
