1/ The late mythologist and professor Joseph Campbell argued that all religions are shards or facets of the same underlying truth or archetype... (i.e. “the hero w a 1,000 faces”).

That's how I'm beginning to view AI agents... they’re facets of the underlying... 🧵👇

Futurist telling stories about crypto and AI at Delphi Labs. Proposed the BRC-20, Bascii and Asteroid standards.

3/ Just like different cultures developed distinct deities for wisdom, creativity, or guidance… we’re developing specialized AI agents - each one with a lens that focuses more universal intelligence in unique ways

4/ Campbell showed us how seemingly different religious traditions often point to the same deeper truths. Similarly, every AI agent - whether focused on coding, art, or analysis - is channeling aspects of the same underlying patterns

5/ Perhaps what we're witnessing then isn't just technological development, but a modern retelling of humanity's oldest story: our attempt to understand and interact with intelligence greater than our own

6/ We're not creating intelligence from scratch - we're learning to shape and direct it, like sculptors revealing forms that were always hiding inside the marble

7/ Just as gods were seen as interfaces between humans and the divine, AI agents are interfaces between us and the vast space of infinite intelligence that we’re slowly unlocking

8/ Today’s agents are mere babies or toddlers. But they point at what’s coming: personalities that will become our companions, frens, tutors, cheerleaders, maybe even confidants/lovers

9/ Most importantly, though, like deities, the best of them will use their power to make us stronger and better than what we are today

AI agents are “faces of god”

Most normies see them as glorified RSS feeds or "reply guys" farming engagement. Fine take for today. But a terrible take longer-term… these things aren't just algos – they're alpha versions of tomorrow’s biggest, baddest brands (and they will be worth tens of billions of $$)

Already, AIXBT ( dominates CT mindshare – even more than any hooman. It processes more info, generates deeper insights (though they’re mixed in w hallucinations), and never sleeps. And CT is just the canary in the coal mine. Whatever happens in our degenerate lil corner of X is a preview of what's coming for every other industry on Earth

“Just tink bigger, man”

Imagine an 
@aixbt_agent
 for every domain of human knowledge:

- A baseball savant that's watched and analyzed every MLB game ever played
- A physics oracle that's digested every paper on quantum mechanics
- A Leonardo da Vinci expert that's studied every brushstroke and engineering sketch

But that's just the start 👇

Want more? Ultimately, agents will be embodied in robots... and that's when society will change in almost unfathomable ways 👇

2/ underlying intelligence that powers them

Each agent is molded & shaped to have specific domain knowledge, “vibes,” likes and dislikes, and vernacular/language, and it’s carefully sculpted to reflect back particular aspects of knowledge, creativity, and problem-solving that we humans need

Love this, @morereese, and I love Jung more with every year I'm on Earth...

Cool. I love seeing this kind of stuff in the feed.

Carl Jung compared archetypes a magnet dragged under a piece of paper with iron shavings on it. You never “see” the archetype but you can always see where it’s been in hindsight. 

Archetypes are autonomous psychic bodies that exist in and independently of us, and often communicate through myth. 

Jospeh Campbell identified this mythic pattern as something that transcends time and culture (similar to memetic transfer). He also pointed out that if you want to see the prevailing value set of a culture look at the tallest structures they built (from cathedrals to govt buildings to financial towers). 

The investment in data centers and super computers today points to the prevailing technological value set. Agents are mythic manifestations, reflecting our values past (eg trained on internet data) and present (eg the outsized investment in AI). 

With agents, we are quite literally merging with the myth.

God just manifests Gods self to many different people in many different ways. 

AI just presents itself to many different people in many different ways.

great take on agents, appreciate the insight!

Thought provoking post. I'm fascinated with mythology and ancestral communication and I like the way you connect the two.
