"How would an AI agent find out what it has to do to obtain the API credentials? How would an AI agent sign up to use the API? How would it copy the API key or a client ID and secret? Where is the code responsible for the integration with the API?"

Since “What Is Intelligence?” (@mitpress.bsky.social & Antikythera) came out in September, I’ve had the privilege of hearing so many perceptive reflections on the nature of life and intelligence from readers.

I slightly touched this topic here: apichangelog.substack.com/p/the-hidden...

"In October 2025, from a total of 61 members of the technical steering committees of popular open-source API formats, about 54% are there acting for their employers."

"It's better not to have a README than to have a bad one. If you're like many API producers, you never have enough time to dedicate to your README. How can you then automate the creation of content using AI?"

I'm getting terribly tired of reading doom and gloom posts on Reddit that are basically asking rhetorical questions.

"Should I start a career in tech writing now that...?"

Yes. If that's what you want to do, yes, by all means. Don't replace your will by crowdsourced heckling.

My team and I just published a new framework for AI social intelligence. By grasping self-other similarity and predicting how their actions affect others, models are encouraged to cooperate—solving the Prisoner’s Dilemma.

More on Embedded Universal Predictive Intelligence (MUPI) ⬇
1/ Why does RL struggle with social dilemmas? How can we ensure that AI learns to cooperate rather than compete?

Introducing our new framework: MUPI (Embedded Universal Predictive Intelligence) which provides a theoretical basis for new cooperative solutions in RL.

Your API is hard to use!

- Consumers can’t understand your API
- You have never interviewed a potential consumer
- You don’t understand their JTBD
- Suddenly, consumers start complaining

What a great crowd earlier today at the "API Prototyping in Practice: From Design to Validation" workshop I did with Hans Pagel from Scalar. Thank you to all the attendees for the amazing participation!

Remember when the internet wasn't awful? We can go back to that.

Some friends and I have released the Resonant Computing Manifesto: a call to bring back such a time, to see if we can bring back a world where technology works for us, rather than against us.

The Resonant Computing Manifesto
Technology should bring out the best in humanity, not the worst—a manifesto for resonant computing built on five principles that reject hyper-scale extraction for human flourishing.

Could cognition emerge from matter at scales far below neurons? This @nature.com paper explores whether molecular self-assembly can perform neural-like classification. The work suggests that even physical processes may carry out sophisticated information processing.

"To me, the root path of any API should be a resource holding the full reference of the API. If it's a machine reading it, it should return a machine-readable reference. If it's a human, it should return a nice-looking API reference."
