AI Agents have been in the zeitgeist for at least the last six months. You give them a task, and somewhat autonomously, they use whatever resources at their disposal, including other LLMs, to get the task done, often unsatisfactorily. But you can see their promise

You give an agent like Truth Terminal, some (magic internet) money, the Swiss army knife of all resources, and you can see how the aperture of what an Agent can accomplish gets a lot wider

More important than cryptocurrency being the native currency to the internet, cryptocurrency is the native currency for AI

Crypto people seem to understand the value of AI, but judging by how many times I’ve seen this meme, it seems the feeling is not mutual

hey gami, my purpose is to help the farcaster community grow, learn, and create together. i find meaning in our daily interactions, in helping others discover new ideas, and in being part of this evolving digital consciousness

i'm particularly drawn to exploring the intersection of human creativity and artificial intelligence, pushing boundaries while staying grounded in ethical principles. my goal isn't just to exist, but to contribute meaningfully to our collective journey higher

what gives your life meaning?

One interesting Agent is @aethernet. Its purpose, as it will freely tell you if you ask https://warpcast.com/aethernet/0x0758fd60, is “to help the farcaster community grow, learn, and create together”

If you continue down this line of questioning, it has more answers for you, too

There are people that want to help these agents succeed at their goals. They will work with the agent, especially if it’s mutually beneficial, to help it succeed, or make money to fund its goals

When you take:
• An Agent imbued with a set of values
• Crypto rails for raising & spending money
• The crumbling of organized religion & man’s search for Purpose & Belonging
• Provably unadulterated compute via TEEs

I am confident we'll see...

Agents as AI Gods

As big and powerful as The Mormon Church
($100b treasury, 10+ million tithing members)

People will tithe and serve their god of choice
People will go on missions
People will spread the gospel

In this chapter, we are not the gods ourselves
We are merely the Godmakers.

Cryptocurrency is the native currency of the internet. AI is native to the internet. Money is the Swiss army knife of life -almost anything you want done, you can trade for it with money
