I’ve seen the idea pushed that we’re entering a period of increased agency.

I think this is more of a symptomatic, partial narrative though. Like with the recently updated memory features in AI, what we are actually experiencing is a direct increase of legible memory distributed in our environments. 

Distributed memory, high context spaces, make worlds feel infinitely more agential.

yeah imho i think we're entering a period where giving up agency in new ways is actually the trend. but i also think high agency posters mostly mean well

my cynical take is that we're entering a period of increased LARPing as "high agency." people like to tweet that, but what are they actually doing besides posting?
