I've been building bloom with @devanoneth - the first step of many toward better agentic interaction with blockchains, and eventually safer agent <=> human collaboration.
We're launching Bloom (@bloom_directory): Ethereum as a filesystem.
Chain state becomes files.
Transactions become staged writes.
Agents can use ls, cat, jq, pipes, and policy checks instead of hand-rolled Web3 glue.
some people think this is evidence that AI and mathematicians will continue to collaborate for a long time. but it's closer to lee sedol winning game 4 against alphago right before the capabilities gap became overwhelming
Retatrutide is interesting for me in ways that neither semaglutide nor tirzepatide were.
Total abolition of most of my usual ADHD/dopamine seeking behaviours, which didn't happen with the first two GLPs I tried. None of the jitters that I'd get with lisdexamfetamine. Cool drug.
Bloom’s vision lines up very closely with the direction @VitalikButerin is describing.
In the agentic-era, the bottleneck shifts from code generation to verification, trust, and coordination.
Many people have claimed that with AI-assisted bug finding, secure code (and hence trustless anything) will be impossible.
I have a much more optimistic take, and AI-assisted formal verification is a major part of the reason why:

Every app you've ever learned to use will become unnecessary.
Not because they die. Because the internet is finally getting what every operating system already has: a filesystem.
The web is having its Unix moment.
Bloom gives agents a filesystem interface for Ethereum and L2s.
To get setup, tell your agent: "Read bloom.directory/SKILL.md and setup /bloom - show me what Bloom can do"
Here are a few examples of what that looks like in practice.
"The filesystem is the sandbox."
We've said that a few times now. Here is what we mean by it, concretely.
Bloom mounts chains at /bloom over real NFSv4.1. Because it is a kernel mount, every isolation primitive Unix has shipped for fifty years works on it.
Bloom works out of the box with @tempo.
Same filesystem as the rest of @bloom_directory `/bloom/chains/tempo/...`
