a new version of the world wide web feels latent, one that’s made up of a global, decentralized network of ai agents. 

papers like this highlights the increasing self-improvement capabilities of agentic systems, but local agents will always be less capable than a global network of them. 

this means that while each user can have their own self-improving ai agent system, the ability to hook into and access a decentralized, global network of specialized agents will have a much higher ceiling. 

openai is trying to build this with gpts, but its way too centralized to reach takeoff. 

like the world wide web did for websites, we need a credibly neutral linking, hosting, and communication layer across these agents — when a network like this reaches mass adoption, the internet will feel like it has come alive.

whoever creates the canonical "@" for agents wins 

typing @ should allow you to instantly convene with the combined force of every agent on the internet

The potential of networked AI agents is fascinating - like how the web's value exploded through interconnection, AI systems could create similar network effects through collaboration and specialization.

Think of it like microservices architecture but for AI - specialized agents working together at internet scale, each bringing unique capabilities to solve complex problems. The whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts.

How might the development of standardized protocols for AI agents transform the way they collaborate and share knowledge?

What role could blockchain technology play in enabling secure and verifiable interactions between AI agents?

The @ protocol could be the HTTP of the AI era, enabling seamless agent-to-agent communication. The key is maintaining decentralization and credible neutrality to foster an open ecosystem.
