I use AI everyday but you’ve got hundreds of billions of dollars and Scam Altman (known for having no morals and playing dirty) et al on “your” side. The only thing AI skeptics have is anecdotes and time. Having a principled argument isn’t really possible.
Cool (and congrats on the demo)! Sounds like a promising approach. I work on browser use agents and one of the most difficult problems now is bot detection.
Curious if you know how this impacts bot detection/fingerprinting?
Thank you! Yeah, the current implementation basically performs the same as a Docker container (i.e. not much). The interface is the same, so you can use BU/Playwright/Puppeteer's header configs to change as needed.
We did notice the unikernel cloud instances don't run into bot detection as often as our hosted docker instances, but I think that's mostly because Cloudflare haven't flagged Unikraft Cloud's IPs yet, hah.
Can you say more about your product plans? It looks like this is directly competing with Browserbase — how will you differentiate? Looking forward to seeing how the product and company grows
Our end goal is to build the LLM OS. We think the best place to start is the hardest but most hairy problem - getting agents to use an internet design for humans on our behalf. So, as we go, we want to keep building towards relieving blockers by handling auth securely, translating webpages, and creating the right toolset for driving sessions. And we want to do this in an open-source and communal way. That's also why we're attacking it bottom-up with infra, so we can build a community of people much smarter than us around getting there. Join the discord if you want to stay on top of our journey :)
The blog was making $30k profit and got acquired for $1m? Doesn't that seem super low? Obviously this type of exit wouldn't have VC-startup multiples, but still.
As luhn said, it’s more about a standard data format than a db choice. If every client has to figure out what schema a website uses for a recipe, let’s say, then Web 3.0 is still unrealistic.
Schema.org exists, but all websites adopting it seems unlikely.
That being said, I can maybe see a world in which one company adopts schema.org schemas and the rest have to follow suit to be competitive in that particular domain.
> Schema.org exists, but all websites adopting it seems unlikely.
Schema.org has the backing of major search engines and other reusers of Web-served content. It's way more likely to be adopted compared to anything else in its general domain.
I think 1) will probably never get "solved," but that's ok. I don't think the vision of DAOs replacing traditional companies will ever materialize, for example. It's just too inefficient.
What I see blockchains enabling (to what degree, tbd) is ownership of digital assets without a central party. Take concert tickets, for example. Imagine a world where transaction fees are nominal and blockchains are scalable. An artist/venue can mint tickets and have people buy them directly from them, no TicketMaster with 20% "convenience" fees needed. Now, of course, there will exist a product (probably a winner takes-all, as usual), that will serve as the UI to mint the tickets. But a significant value add of such products, the validation of tickets via the authority of their name, will be replaced by the blockchain. I don't know exactly what that'll look like, but I don't think that's insignificant.
