Ep64 Agentic Cosplay
from NET Society · host NET Society
This week on Net Society, the conversation starts with self hosting clawdbot and the sudden rise of agent driven workflows before widening into a deeper look at how AI narratives form, burn hot, and disappear just as fast. From agent social networks like Moltbook and media fragmentation to pop culture blind spots and what it means to be “too online,” the group explores how attention, taste, and relevance are shifting. The episode then moves into the emerging agent economy, touching on automation, crypto rails, payments, and whether AI actually needs crypto at all. From there, the discussion zooms out into history, acceleration, and past technological inflection points, drawing parallels between electricity, industrialization, and today’s AI moment. The episode closes with a wide ranging reflection on population decline, power, money, and whether we are approaching a fundamentally different social and economic order.Mentioned in the episodeMoltbook the AI agent social network https://www.moltbook.com/WWI was the end of the world https://x.com/male_leo_xxvi/status/2017051227432112623?s=20Instagram and Substack launch TV https://open.substack.com/pub/embedded/p/even-instagram-and-substack-are-tv?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=webShow & 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) - Self-Hosting, Mac Minis, and Agent Social Networks (04:40) - AI Narratives, Attention Cycles, and Being Too Online (11:19) - Media Fragmentation, Pop Culture, and Agent Consumption (19:04) - Agents, Automation, and the Shape of Work (27:04) - Crypto, AI Rails, and the Agent Economy (40:38) - Acceleration, History, and Technological Epochs (58:05) - Population, Power, and What Comes After Money (01:19:42) - Welcome & Disclaimer
