Learning from Tay’s introduction - The Official Microsoft Blog

Group chats rule the world
Most of the interesting conversations in tech now happen in private group chats: Whatsapp, Telegram, Signal, small invite-only Discord groups.

Wild to see that @npmx.dev was the fastest-growing emerging open source organization by number of contributors in Q1 2026 according to osscar.dev. What is even more interesting: it was the only non-AI tool in the top 10.

Increased Bot Activity & What We're Doing About It
blog.tophhie.cloudThis is, at it's core why I hate what openai launched with ChatGPT. It's also why I think social agents are interesting and why Claude Code, as a power tool enabled interesting conversations with my collaborators.
