Any tips for a 2 person European company. One founder based in Amsterdam, the other in London. We are close to setting things up, some input from other founders would be great

Probably a UK limited liability partnership would be an option .

But you have to investigate how the Dutch will treat it .

You could apply for a advance tax ruling with the Dutch tax authorities before doing anything

Why LLP over Ltd?

Because it's transparent so you pay income tax ( which is lower than corp+dividend taxes especially at lower incomes ) .

Later on when you scale, you can convert the LLP into an LTD.

Also you might avoid exit taxes as it is an partnership , if you move between countries.

Also there is basically no information in the post besides 2 founders in different countries.

Incorporate in one of the two countries. If you're serving EU, with GDPR it might be easier to do Netherlands instead of the UK.

At d5s.tech we are recreating the layers built on top of models, working on dogfooding our own product to run a large chunk of the company.

I feel extremely strongly that a future in which most companies depend on one or two large AI-megacorps is going to lead to excessive rent seeking sooner or later.

I remain positive that the long term steady state will consist of proprietary models, -but- with open source AI models statistically close.

If compute keeps growing the relative cost of training current frontier models will decrease. An open source Fable/Mythos model simply seems inevitable.

But what if the AI agent has a 5% chance of adding a bug to that feature? Surely before any feature was completely bug free

Yeah it’s all trade offs. If it means I get to where I want to be faster, even if it’s imperfect, so be it.

Humans aren’t without flaws; prior to coding assistants, I’ve lost count of the times my PM telling me to rush things at the expense of engineering rigor. We validate or falsify the need for a feature sooner and move on to other things. Sometimes it works sometimes a bug blows up in our faces, but things still chug along.

This point will become increasingly moot as AI gets better at generating good code, and faster, too.

What is the chance that you add a bug?

It is the same with the global financial system

For the CLI > MCP folks: https://cliwatch.com/

https://cliwatch.com/ for any CLI maintainers that aim to keep track of how agent ready their work is :) get in touch! very responsive to feedback

Interesting install method haha

Amazing. Would be cool to see agents end up trading at varrock bank like during the old days. Sort of a facebook/moltbook equivalent - wonder how genuine it would feel

Please try running some bots and join the discord! Totally agree that we should add communication channels for the bots, potentially a bbs or global chat?

It's not happening.
