$XYZ Block (Jack Dorsey's company) just open-sourced a local AI agent that goes way beyond code suggestions.

It's called Goose, and it already has 35k+ GitHub stars.

Here's the thing:

Most AI coding agents lock you into one LLM, but Goose works with 25+ providers natively. Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, DeepSeek, Groq, Ollama, and more. Swap models in one command.

It doesn't just write code either. It builds entire projects, executes and debugs code, orchestrates workflows, and calls external APIs without you stepping in.

Some standout features:

↳ Uses MCP for extensions: file ops, web scraping, memory, automation, and more.
↳ Supports ACP, so it can use Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI as providers.
↳ Runs 100% locally. Your code never leaves your machine.
↳ Auto-trims old context to keep token costs low.

Available as both a desktop app and CLI on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

And the best part is it comes under Apache 2.0 license, so it's 100% open source.

For developers who want an AI agent without vendor lock-in, this is worth a look.

Chamath: AI’s biggest profits may not go to model makers, just as refrigeration’s biggest winner wasn’t its inventor, but Coca-Cola.
When labs can build similar models, the real win comes from one unique ingredient, i.e. whoever builts the AI “Coca-Cola”

LATEST UPDATE ON HORMUZ TRAFFIC:

Around 15 ships have passed the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours.

Here are the numbers over the last 15 days:

🔴 Mar 20 → 🚢 1
🔴 Mar 21 → 🚢 2
🔴 Mar 22 → 🚢 3
🔴 Mar 23 → 🚢 5
🔴 Mar 24 → 🚢 6
🔴 Mar 25 → 🚢 4
🔴 Mar 26 → 🚢 4
🔴 Mar 27 → 🚢 3
🟠 Mar 28 → 🚢 11
🟠 Mar 29 → 🚢 9
🟠 Mar 30 → 🚢 8
🟠 Mar 31 → 🚢 11
🟠 Apr 01 → 🚢 9
🟠 Apr 02 → 🚢 10
🟠 Apr 03 → 🚢 18
🟠 Apr 04 → 🚢 15

For context, the normal flow through Hormuz before the war as 130+.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent explains how higher oil prices is hurting China.

His point:

The US doesn’t rely heavily on Gulf oil, so the impact is limited. While China is a major importer so they take a big hit.

But here’s what he misses:

Rising oil prices hurts the US as well.

Oil feeds directly into inflation:

Higher fuel costs → more expensive transportation
Higher transportation → higher prices for goods
Higher energy costs → more expensive production

It all flows through the economy.

And we’re already seeing it:

Higher oil = rising inflation expectations → fewer rate cuts → tighter financial conditions

So while China may feel it more on the demand side…

The US feels it through inflation, interest rates, and markets.

Optical stocks have become the hottest trade in the AI space:

Lumentum, $LITE, is up +1,137% over the last 12 months, the 2nd-best performing stock in the S&P 500.

Over the same period, Applied Optoelectronics, $AAOI, is up +551%, Coherent, $COHR, +282%, Corning, $GLW, +223%, and Fabrinet, $FN, +176%.

This marks a massive outperformance of the Nasdaq 100, which returned +23%.

These companies make optical components that use light instead of traditional copper wiring to move data inside AI data centers.

This technology has gained popularity as AI infrastructure demands faster and more efficient communication.

In early March, Nvidia, $NVDA, announced it would invest $2 billion each in Lumentum and Coherent.

Optical stocks are the latest beneficiary of the AI boom.

🚨 HERE'S EXACTLY HOW THE TRUMP-IRAN ULTIMATUM ENDS. STEP BY STEP. BOOKMARK THIS. 🚨

Nobody wants to hear this. But the pattern is already forming:

Step 1 ✅ Trump demands Hormuz reopened in 48 hours — Iran rejects IMMEDIATELY

Step 2 ✅ Oil past $115/barrel — Americans feel it at the pump TODAY

Step 3 ✅ Iran counter-threatens: "irreversible" destruction of regional energy infrastructure

Step 4 ⏳ Deadline passes Monday April 6 — Trump must act or lose ALL credibility

Step 5 ⏳ Strikes on civilian power plants and bridges — "power plant and bridge day"

Step 6 ⏳ Iran retaliates against Gulf energy infrastructure — Aramco, UAE terminals, Kuwait refineries

Step 7 ⏳ Oil EXPLODES past $150 — global supply chains seize

Step 8 ⏳ Gas at $6-7/gallon across America — approval ratings crater

Step 9 ⏳ European refineries shut — no Gulf crude, no fuel

Step 10 ⏳ Iran's proxy Hezbollah escalates — already hit an Israeli warship with a cruise missile

Step 11 ⏳ Multi-front regional war — Hormuz, Lebanon, Iraq

Step 12 ⏳ Trump declares victory and announces "repositioning" — the word that replaces "withdrawal"

Steps 1-3 already happened TODAY.
Steps 4-5 happen within 48 HOURS.
Steps 6-12 by end of next week.

They're showing you "tough on Iran."

They're NOT showing you that the "4-week war" is in week 6, an F-15E just fell from the sky, and the president is SCHEDULING civilian destruction by day of the week.

A friend of mine who works in energy trading told me they've had more crisis calls in the last 72 hours than in all of Q1 combined. His exact words: "Nobody has a playbook for this."

🚨🚨🚨 TRUMP JUST GAVE IRAN 48 HOURS TO REOPEN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ — OR HE DESTROYS THEIR POWER GRID. 🚨🚨🚨

His exact words on Truth Social: "Open the f***in' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell."

Then he declared Tuesday "power plant and bridge day."

Let that sink in. A sitting US president just scheduled a DAY to destroy civilian infrastructure.

💀 Oil is at $115/barrel — up from $70 since this war started
💀 It's DAY 36 of the Hormuz blockade — STILL closed
💀 Iran REJECTED the ultimatum IMMEDIATELY
💀 Iran counter-threatened to destroy "critical energy infrastructure in an irreversible manner"
💀 The "4-week war" is now in WEEK 6

⚠️ "Surgical military strikes" → now openly threatening civilian power plants, bridges, and the entire grid
⚠️ "Complete objectives shortly" was said 3 DAYS ago — then jets started falling from the sky

Here's the logic — follow it carefully:

→ Trump issues 48-hour ultimatum
→ Iran rejects it before the ink dries
→ Deadline passes Monday April 6
→ Trump either bombs civilian infrastructure — triggering a humanitarian crisis and Iranian retaliation on Gulf energy targets
→ Or he backs down — and every future threat becomes meaningless

If this was "almost over," why is the president CURSING at a foreign government and scheduling infrastructure destruction by weekday?

Complete silence.

This is no longer a military operation. This is a president who ran out of options PUBLICLY losing his composure on social media.
