WOW
An urgent notice from the Railway team
blog.railway.com/p/security-…
just saw this movie tonight
and it somehow managed to exceed ALL expectations
absolutely haunting and mesmerizing
19 gunshots on my block last night
Deeply appreciate the quick response and attentiveness of @Chicago_Police
Thank G-d no one injured. very close call to the driver of this car (local teen).
Wish @ChicagosMayor would take this more seriously
for the past 2 yrs, ceos have repeatedly told me: we want our orgs to be AI native, we want our team to embrace the frontier of AI tools, we bought subs for everyone, but utilization is mid and we don't know how to educate the whole team on what is even possible with the tools we've provided them.
EVERY AGENT SOLVES THIS.
truly believe this is a gamechanger project for 99.5% of existing orgs that want to level up their AI competency
BREAKING:
Introducing the @Every Agent—an agentic coworker in Slack built to help you AI-pill your company.
It comes with:
- Everything you'd expect from a premium company agent. You can delegate difficult, long-running—like opening PRs, writing reports from large datasets, and monitoring social or customer feedback—and get high-quality results all from Slack
- Every's best workflows, pre-installed and always updated. Compound Engineering to Compound Writing. We add more all the time.
- Personalized Frontier Alerts. to help you keep up with new models. When we drop a Vibe Check, the Every Agent will read it and let you know if the new model is relevant to your workflow.
- Zero markup on tokens. What we pay is what you pay—as token prices go down, so does your bill.
You can try it today with $15 in free credits per person, up to $500 per workspace.
After that: it comes with your $30/month Every subscription, plus tokens at cost.

Why it's hard to AI-pill your coworkers
If you’re the AI-pilled one at work, you know the problem: you discover something incredible in Claude or Codex, but getting your coworkers to try it is another matter.
The problem is that most of your AI use is invisible. You do it alone, in a terminal or a chat window.
Your coworkers see the finished report or the five new ads, but they never see the request that produced them, or the corrections you made along the way. When you describe it afterward, it sounds like magic, but nobody learns a magic trick without seeing how it’s done.
Why a company agent, in Slack, solves this problem
When you use a company agent like the @every agent you go from prompting in private, to prompting in public.
In a Slack channel, a coworker who would never open a terminal scrolls past a thread with your agent interaction and thinks: I could do that too.
This lets you show instead of tell your coworkers about your discoveries. New AI tools and workflows then spread naturally and virally across your organization.
That's why we made the @every agent for ourselves—and why we're releasing it to you today.

A lot to learn from the guy who just built a $800m football stadium doing 1:1 customer service on X for no other reason than the love of the game

The venture market has an exceedingly high tolerance for failure
And zero tolerance for poor integrity
Surprising how frequently that is misunderstood
In March 2020, @startinglinevc seeded am ambitious project to reimagine consumer data and create a real time, programmable window into behavior and purchasing history.
Six years later Attain is making that data publicly accessible via prompt and mcp for the first time. Enabling marketers, builders and dreamers to predict and model the future with accuracy and fidelity previously implausible.
Excited to see what the world creates. Extraordinary times.

Just the tip of the iceberg now that we’re beginning to have stocks on chain
The stock market / mainstream trading has never experienced defi composability before
This is going to make a lot of headlines and bring a lot of people on-chain
This is one of the wildest things I've seen play out onchain (incidentally close to how I described previously)!
The solana:GDAdCvjiRoGxA18ya3Qha1DD6bbzbR9Z9AGpMa9Tpump memecoin just cornered 81% of the onchain supply of a tokenized public company $HIMS while Wall Street was closed for the w/e
solana:GDAdCvjiRoGxA18ya3Qha1DD6bbzbR9Z9AGpMa9Tpump is paired directly with tokenized HIMS equity on Robinhood Chain
As BONER rallied, traders entering through USDG or ETH had to acquire HIMS before swapping it into the BONER/HIMS pool
The result:
- 12,284 HIMS accumulated inside BONER liquidity
- Total onchain HIMS supply is only around 15,227
- BONER’s pool therefore contains roughly 81% of the entire supply
- The main HIMS/USDG pool was left with around 92 HIMS against $135K of USDG liquidity
HIMS closed Friday at $28.84 on the NYSE
With most of the tokenized supply sitting inside BONER liquidity, onchain HIMS traded around $39
That's a 37% premium to the real share price
This was not technically a short squeeze because there is no evidence of shorts being liquidated or forced to cover; it was a "float squeeze"
Demand for the memecoin absorbed the available tokenized HIMS inventory faster than market makers could replenish it while the underlying market was closed
The actual NYSE equity was unaffected. HIMS has roughly 225M real shares outstanding compared with just 15.2K tokens on Robinhood Chain
The distortion also inflated BONER’s displayed dollar market cap because its HIMS denominator was itself trading above NAV
At the prices shown, BONER’s displayed $9.4M market cap was closer to $6.9M when HIMS was marked at Friday’s real closing price
When traditional markets reopen, authorised participants can mint additional HIMS or arbitrage the wrapper back towards NAV
Until then, a memecoin has effectively squeezed the weekend float of a tokenized equity
Robinhood Chain is becoming a live experiment in what happens when 24/7 crypto liquidity collides with assets that still follow market hours
There are levels to this that will hit mainstream media and bring A LOT more eyes to crypto
This is how retail returns to the trenches
insane speaker lineup
BREAKING:
Introducing Thesis, @every’s annual conference dedicated to answering the most important question in AI:
What does great human work look like after automation?
We believe there is a small group of humans who already know the answer to this question because they’re living it every day. But they're scattered across companies and industries, with few opportunities to learn from each other.
That’s why we’re throwing Thesis November 5th, 2026 in Brooklyn New York.
Our first speakers include:
- Ivan Zhao (@ivanhzhao)—Founder and CEO, Notion
- Andrew Ambrosino (@ajambrosino)—Member of technical staff, Codex, OpenAI
- Cat de Jong - Head of applied AI, Anthropic
- Nick Thompson (@nxthompson)—CEO, the Atlantic
- Josh Miller (@joshm)—CEO and cofounder, The Browser Company
- Cristobal Valenzuela (@c_valenzuelab)—Co-CEO and cofounder, Runway
- Lauren Reeder (@laurenmhreeder)—Partner, Sequoia
- Sahil Lavingia (@shl)—Founder, Gumroad
- Riley Brown (@rileybrown)—Cofounder, Vibecode
- Natalie Fratto (@NatalieFratto)—Founder and creator, Charts & Crafts
- Allie Garfinkle (@agarfinks)—Senior writer and editor, Fortune
- Kane Kallaway (@kanekallaway)—Founder, Wavy Labs
- Nat Eliason (@nateliason)—Head of Founders School, Alpha School
- Kate Lee (@katelaurielee)—Editor in chief, Every
- Katie Parrott (@kplikethebird)—Staff writer, Every
- Kieran Klaassen (@kieranklaassen)—General manager of Cora, Every
(With more very special people to announce soon!)

What to expect
Thesis will feature talks, demonstrations, working sessions, office hours, and small-group conversations with builders, operators, and execs who are already using AI to do incredible human work.
And, of course, you can bring your agent.
Why New York
New York is where the AI wave hits the beach: It's where new model capabilities meet real-world work. Because of this, it’s the best place in the world to see what happens when frontier technology leaves the lab and enters everyday life.
That’s why we’re holding Thesis at Pioneer Works, a cultural center in Red Hook dedicated to blending art, science, music, and technology.
Space is limited, so we’re accepting attendees by application. We’ll also livestream it for free for anyone who can’t attend in person.
You should apply below.

This is a random Thursday, 430pm, inconsequential ballgame in August.
Wrigley is magical. Truly.
Chicago’s redemption arc is loading. The whole city. All of it.
Do. Not. Fade.
