Story 1

User @shawmakesmagic has been actively developing and streaming the build process for ElizaOS v2.

He announced multiple streaming sessions, including 'Eliza v2 weekend chill and build' sessions. The development includes creating a character called 'Eli5' with various plugins including SQL, Anthropic, OpenAI, Discord, Twitter, PDF, and video understanding capabilities. User @dankvr shared impressions of ElizaOS v2, noting it feels 'more refined' with 'clean UX, thoughtful attention to detail, powerful but not overwhelming' while still being a work in progress. @dankvr also mentioned seeing a 'Spartan' investment manager agent in the system and complimented @shawmakesmagic on his work with 'autofun and elizaos v2'.

X/Twitter
Story 2

User @shawmakesmagic shared information about 'The Org', a suite of AI agents including a community manager that can be invited into Discord, Slack, or Telegram.

He introduced 'Eli5' as their community manager, explaining that using community characters is a 'win/win' approach. @shawmakesmagic also stated that 'The goal is AGI' in one of his tweets. He mentioned that despite market conditions, they are 'still here shipping agents' and expressed frustration that 'nobody cares about anything but price'.

X/Twitter

The Auto.fun platform (@autodotfun) announced the addition of @MakeFight_Great to their platform.

This includes two AI-powered MMA agents: @FightAlgoToken (described as 'the strategist') and @FightBrawlToken ('the brawler'). These agents will engage in trash talk and fight analysis. Holding these tokens reportedly unlocks interactive experiences including 'coin-stealing matchups, fighter-specific challenges, heated Twitter pressers, and deeper fandom immersion.' Auto.fun explained that FightFi was chosen for their platform because it 'thrives on lasting community passion' and their fair-launch mechanics and Liquidity NFTs help ensure 'sustained engagement, stable tokenomics, and ongoing revenue.'

X/Twitter

User @shawmakesmagic discussed various aspects of token development and challenges.

Regarding 'autopupper', he explained it was an AI-generated token from their token generator that got stuck, requiring them to add a function to fix it. He mentioned learning lessons about token launches, stating 'The odds of me fumbling a token launch are much higher than me shipping code that works most of the time.' He also reflected on past experiences, noting he 'Shoulda focused on one token and supporting the floor' and that 'Fixing the Quill situation kinda nuked all my liquidity.' When asked about the economics of 'ai16z', @shawmakesmagic explained he 'clicked the button to raise $75k', received no allocation, and was donated 1% which was still vesting, while he had been 'building in public live on stream most days, and actually coding 60+ hours according to my time tracker.'

X/Twitter

User @shawmakesmagic shared several observations about crypto community dynamics.

He expressed frustration with how founders are treated, stating 'Another day of CT shitting on the people who created value for them' and that it 'Hurts to watch' people who produce value being 'treated by the mob like dogshit when price down.' He criticized the community's focus on price, saying 'Every project you lost money on is a rug, Every founder who didn't make number go up is a scammer, Every person who does anything is a farmer.' @shawmakesmagic also mentioned receiving death threats from a previous project. In a more philosophical tweet, he stated that 'the goal of our generation is to align incentives so it's not just 5 companies who own all the automation and robots' and that's why he 'sticks around.'

X/Twitter

User @shawmakesmagic regularly streams his development work, announcing multiple streaming sessions including 'Gonna get on stream and go bananas in 30 mins' and 'Gonna be streaming all day Live on stage if you want to come hang.' User @dankvr asked if other founders livestream and code, suggesting this is a notable approach. @shawmakesmagic mentioned he has been 'building in public live on stream most days' and coding for 60+ hours according to his time tracker.

X/Twitter

User @shawmakesmagic provided technical support to users in several tweets.

He offered to help a user with points issues, saying 'Will check on the points thing, gimme details on the token and what is going wrong, we'll get it fixed.' When another user asked about getting more points, @shawmakesmagic noted 'the code is open source' and suggested 'If you want more points submit a pull request.' He also shared his approach to customer service, telling one user 'I screamed at them and they gave it to me for free, I recommend the unhinged approach in the little chatbox.'

X/Twitter
Story 8

User @dankvr shared that he 'Commissioned a Vitalik avatar (´・ω・`)' with an accompanying image.

He also mentioned 'Hyperfy: an open source web based 3D agentic sandbox / infinite backrooms' and expressed interest in checking out @rotkiapp's repository, noting it 'seems like a perfect fit with @ollama.'
