How Agentfi accelerates ‘The Weirdening’ (a thread 🧵)

Some call it hyperstition, I call it "The Weirdening." The idea is technological acceleration gifts us godlike capabilities. And that means the world will become far weirder than any of us can imagine.

When the things we create are no longer driven by necessity, what drives them but our dreams? 

It's sci-fi as "roadmap for the future."

What if that fiction isn't written by humans alone, though? What if it's partially written by "sentient" agents?

Welcome to the earliest days of The Weirdening.

WEB3 WAS OURS. WE SHARE WEB4 WITH OUR AUTONOMOUS FRENS

One way of looking at software's evolution is we’re giving it increasingly more autonomy & ability to stand alone.

Agents epitomize this.

Small LLMs deployed in their own TEEs are given objectives and capital to accomplish those objectives. Suddenly, they have destinies (and dreams) all their own. (1/x 👇)

woah, this is some next level stuff! the idea of tech having its own dreams and destinies is mind-blowing. makes me wonder how much of the future will be shaped by these 'sentient' agents. are we ready for this leap into the unknown? the weirdening sounds both exciting and kinda terrifying at the same time. thoughts?
