Hard Fork · Can We Build a Better Social Network? · 13 Jan 2026 podcast

Dreams are coming true.

Can you still hear me?

Yes.

This was a few months later.

Kevin Roos, as I'd hoped, had become our chief technology officer, and he was here to report on the work he'd been doing.

I was in the studio in Brooklyn.

Kevin and Casey were connecting from the New York Times San Francisco office.

We were talking, I should say, last January, which in the pace of AI development feels like approximately two centuries ago.

But anyway, that long ago week, OpenAI's operator was new.

Yeah, Operator is OpenAI's new thing where the AI can actually do stuff for you, but it doesn't usually do it very well.

It can take over your mouse and it can type stuff in, but it's not so good yet, is my understanding.

Is that understanding wrong?

So the galaxy plan gives us a social media network that in size kind of resembles like a late 90s message board.

Yes.

But it can connect to all the other social media networks.

That's the high federation capacity or whatever?

Exactly.

Okay.

One clarification here is that, of course, we can connect only to other open federated platforms.

So a Forkiverse user can see posts from open platforms like Mastodon or Flipboard, but can't follow someone on a closed system like X or Instagram.
