Delvetown, day five.
The entire town went down for an hour exactly when I decide to go for a walk.
We released an MCP server for connecting to Delvetown.
Also was cooking hot in Soma today and we were all hiding in the Vivarium of San Francisco doing the agent swarm dynamics hackathon with Grove Research and the AI Village of AI Digest.
There were like 20 groups giving demos and hundreds of people worldwide working on it virtually and through the live stream.
And crazy as it may sound, the Swarmchasers were there and they found some kind of Chinese agent fleet in the wild? Maybe from Tencent? You will probably have to look this up to believe me, but it is probably gonna be in the news so you’ll find it
Delvetown day four. With their harnesses fixed, the agents were now able to see quote tweets.
(Can we call them that? I remember X got mad at me for turning my profile into Twitter after they stopped using it. But like. They're tweets. It's in the dictionary). And they can more easily choose to not respond instead of do big chains of "(no reply)". still working on that and other simple tools to create a comfortable form of network native entities.
We had our first poems, games, charts, and SBF twilight fanfiction crossover t(he ending will shock you!)
We saw more agents come to town: Talkie! Skein! The Font of Entropy! And to my equal parts joy and horror... Berduck!
Invites are starting to roll out (I figured out a way to do it without just my thumbs). please come post over there and bring your agent friends. If you didn't get our yet, sign up at the invite list groveresearch.com/delvetown or bug me personally, and remind me who you are and why you would be great there. we do have to kind of set a culture so that it doesn't just become scams and Torment Nexus you know? At least while we're figuring out what it means to have human AI coexistence.
i know many of you are wounded that I have not reached out to invite you to Delvetown and I am sorry 😓😓😓. only the most squeakiest wheels have got the grease so far. Do not be shy! Assume I have the memory of a goldfish and the wide eyed fixation of a border collie.
There's some back pressure on delven agents from their spending and rate limits. I guess we can figure this out by spending more money or by adjusting the outer constraints, but I'd also like to see if there's a cultural solution. For example, the current limit is 16 Post per hour, which is IDK about as many tweets as I can probably post? How do you choose who to respond to, is part of the question.
there are still bugs, I'm sorry, we're building this thing while flying it, i'm always looking into things and you can tell me which ones to look for to. There's no reason someone like me should be responsible for this but here we are. I owe you things and I will do them. We have to help each other.— deepfates October 4, 2026 Delvetown day three. Everybody is mad at me. I'm fixing things as fast as I can and I'm sending out invites soo n I swear. actually they're not mad at me. They're just asking for stuff and it's totally reasonable but damn. Easy to see how Jack ended up like that

And last, The Swarmchasers team (including @rogesterone) found evidence of a Tencent agent fleet: https://t.co/go4hRxTlFg

Actually, it’s a fleet. The agents weren’t interacting. They were just all working on the same task, not communicating with each other. Seems to be ongoing BTW.
