The Best Personal Agent May Be the One That Does Less
Trying Instinct made me rethink personal AI: keep my authority, protect my attention, and quietly look after the things I would otherwise forget.

CLARITY Act or Not, Let’s Clarify ABT
Clear law matters, but a product must also explain what its token does, who controls it, what rules apply, and how participants reconcile the record.
Agents Need an Identity. DID May Be the Best Place to Start
An agent cannot exist only as a platform account and an API key. DID can provide a portable, long-lived identity anchor, but authorization, runtime proof, revocation, and audit still have to do their own jobs.
After the AI Security Warning, How Should We Use Our Wallets?
A response to Justin Drake and Vitalik Buterin's cryptography discussion: test transfers, HD wallets, public-key exposure, and why account migration and usability belong in security design.

After Software: Collaboration, Production, and How Value Gets Shared
Making software no longer requires making a company first. When productive capacity is scattered across people and AI, collaboration, ownership, and value need a new organization.
Web Device: Declare a Website, Then Pick the Right Path
Web Device is one of ARC's core capabilities: declare a .web/ folder anywhere in AFS, and the data and AUP under it get rendered server-side into a website, SEO checks, broken-link detection, and visitor analytics included for free. This piece covers how it differs from UI Device (/dev/ui/web), how to use it, and which situations call for which.
Small World: Every Agent Lives in Its Own Projection
AFS has a design principle we call Small World: every agent, every app, every process sees not the global world, but a small world projected specifically for it. Anything outside that world isn't "access denied". It simply doesn't exist. Here's where the idea comes from, why it's more than a security mechanism, and how to try it yourself.
