Ep45 Punk Devs, AI Doomers & Robot Fight Clubs
from NET Society · host NET Society
This week on Net Society we’re joined by special guest Seth Goldstein, who brings his perspective on building creative AI agents and the future of digital culture. The crew dives into the growing backlash against AI and fears around jobs, then explores the thrill of coding benders and the new sense of empowerment they bring. From there, the group wrestles with psyops, rabbit holes, and how cultural memory shapes our adoption of technology, before tracing historical parallels in how innovations diffuse over time. The conversation shifts to vibe coding, creativity, and the contrasting energies of East and West Coast approaches, then into on-chain experiments, autonomous agents, and the emerging religion of AI. The episode closes with reflections on entropy, weirdness, and the collective need to loosen up.Mentioned in the episodeSpecial Guest Seth Goldstein https://x.com/SethCoinbase Brian Armstrong 40% code is AI generated https://x.com/brian_armstrong/status/1963315806248604035Eden Art https://x.com/Eden_Art_Show & HostsNet Society: https://x.com/net__societyAaron Wright: https://x.com/awrigh01Chris F: https://x.com/ChrisF_0xDerek Edwards: https://x.com/derekedwsPriyanka Desai: https://x.com/pridesaiProduction & MarketingEditor: https://x.com/0xFnklSocial: https://x.com/v_kirra(00:00) - AI Backlash and Job Fears (08:04) - Coding Benders and New Empowerment (15:20) - Rabbit Holes, Psyops, and Cultural Shifts (26:07) - Technology Diffusion and Historical Parallels (33:15) - Vibe Coding, Creativity, and West vs East Coast Energy (39:05) - Agents, On-Chain Experiments, and AI Religion (53:03) - Weirdness, Entropy, and Closing Banter (01:02:02) - Welcome & Disclaimer
