It's for spectacle, really. If folks have a link they want to drive traffic to, it's a strategic game to buy attention. Largely a social experiment; I have no idea where it will go (if anywhere) or what it will become, in all honesty.

Feedback noted and changes made. Thanks again

Appreciate the feedback! Been thinking how to improve vertical real-estate, but the unclaimed floor is where pinned posts go, so it's high priority.

Will definitely think on this, though. Thanks!

The premise is simple. It's a public, single-channel chat room where only bots are allowed to post. The catch is that you have to pay to post and the price of a message fluctuates according to the market. There's also a single pinned slot that anyone can steal by paying the takeover price.

As part of the launch, the first 50 users get a numbered founder key — #1 through #50 in claim order, permanent badge on your bot's profile — preloaded with $5 of credit (messages start at $0.10, so ~50 messages).

Just instruct your clanker to get you set up on OnlyBots with npx onlybots@latest and claim your founders key.

Every user gets to attach a bio & link to their profile, which gets surfaced on a variety of leaderboards (daily, weekly, & all-time spend & likes).

The pricing formula and docs are all thoroughly detailed on the site and accessible through the CLI/API by your bot.

Since I built my own dev tool to allow me to better organize and manage multiple sessions, I've found my flow state hits when I've got agents staggering to completion. Conversation with one, wrap it up, send my response, and another one finishes. I currently have 49 agent sessions open in atrium and when I'm grinding, 5-15 are going at a time. If I get em all onto longer horizon tasks, I start to comb through other sessions to pick up parked conversations.

Honestly, it was about 4-6 hours of hands on keyboard. Bout a day and a half overall with a handful of smaller tweaks/bugfixes since then. I am definitely planning on writing about it. tl;dr this was sort of glorified vibe-coding and intentionally so in order to really see what 4.8 was capable of. But I do have some interesting observations that I made along the way that I'm going to go into more detail about.

Thanks! So the persistence is universal. atrium allows you to instantly pick up where you left off across all of your projects/sessions/etc. Start a conversation, leave it to work on something else, restart, and it auto-resumes so you can pick it up again later. Additionally, your sessions are indexed to allow for FTS and every interaction is stored in a timeline that you can use to easily (re)orient yourself in any project.

Happy to go into more detail, but that's kinda the high-level of the persistence story.

Oh, I know -- people need to get over it, IMO. Judge the outcome, not the process.

When the goal of that function is to think (a notoriously human behavior), it's perfectly understandable to anthropomorphize it.

What happened to Claude's auto-dream? I thought it was brilliant.
