It's strange how quickly this project got so big... It did not seem like anything particularly novel to me.

I think it was obvious, yet nobody seemed to have released a version people could actually easily use.

The feature set is pretty simple:

- Agents that can write their own tools.

- Agents that can write their own skills.

- Agents that can chat via standard chat apps.

- Agents that can install and use cli software.

- Agents that can have a bit of state on disk.

Most things that go viral actually have a concerted marketing push behind them. I suspect that was the case here. Something about the way people talked about it didn't come across as very genuine.

It's another game where software quality, security of novelty is not an outcome-defining factor.
