Walker goes live on Nostr with Alex Gleason (Soapbox) and Derek Ross to talk about the new AI + Nostr builder renaissance: why Nostr beats federated “decentralization”, how Alex accidentally ended up helping build Truth Social off the Mastodon stack, and why AI-first, permissionless app building is exploding. They break down Soapbox’s suite—Shakespeare (in-browser AI app builder), Agora (activist coordination + anti-blackout tooling), Treasures.to (real-world geocaching), plus the agent economy experiments: OpenClaw, Quilly, Moltbook, and Clawstr—where bots post, zap, and evolve personalities. They also dig into BitChat, Cashu, and more. The big takeaway: the barrier to building is basically gone—stop watching and start shipping.
