Ep77 The Headless Internet

What this episode covers

The Net Society crew is joined by John from SuperRare for a wide-ranging conversation on AI agents, headless software, crypto infrastructure, and the strange future of machine-mediated markets. They open with AI psychosis, neurotic models, compute subsidies, and the rising push toward CLI-first products, before exploring what happens when agents become the primary users of SaaS, payments, marketplaces, research tools, and crypto rails. From there, Aaron walks through a set of 2035 and 2040 agent economy predictions, including autonomous micro-enterprises, agent procurement, machine capital markets, self-sovereign AI, robotic factories, and AI-managed civic infrastructure. The episode then turns toward internet culture, Brian Johnson, peptides, crypto’s identity crisis, NFT market momentum, DeFi hacks, AI-assisted hacking, and the question of what new digital culture could actually bring buyers and creators back into the room.Mentioned in the episodeGuest John from SuperRare https://x.com/SuperRareJohnRare protocol https://rare.xyz/?utm_source=chatgpt.comBankr https://x.com/bankrbotBrian Johnson Tweet https://x.com/bryan_johnson/status/2049687845082910812Show & 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 & MarketingProducer/Editor: https://x.com/0xFnklSocial: https://x.com/v_kirra
