Who owns that AI agent?
In my latest Agentic Web News post, I look at DNSid, a project from Innovation Labs / Identity Digital that aims to provide a DNS-based accountability layer for AI agents.
The bigger question: will agent identity become part of the open web's shared infrastructure, or […]

A ‘semantic Flash’-like future for the human web? Interesting thoughts here…
“The future of the web will likely become more semantic, more structured, and more machine-readable than ever before.
But HTML-in-canvas may allow it to become more expressive than ever, too.” […]
"If I were building a website tomorrow, or building a SaaS app tomorrow, I would probably build it MCP-first, because that’s how agents increasingly want to consume this."

It's 1998, you make a website in the copy of frontpage express that came with your computer, it's just like Word and it's very easy, you figure out how to upload it to the couple megs of web space that your ISP gives you (the instructions are on their website), you visit your site in your browser and everything's fine and the site's readable and everything looks the way it should 🦝 "Wow, if it's this easy in 1998, I bet it'll be even easier in 2026" you think to yourself for some reason
VoidZero is excited to announce that we are joining Cloudflare. Vite, Vitest, Rolldown, Oxc, and Vite+ will remain open-source and MIT-licensed. Evan and the rest of the VoidZero team will continue to lead these projects, with Cloudflare fully committed to supporting our mission.
