If you are interested about onchain Agents, you need to watch Pantheon.
Fiction has a bad reputation as mere escapism and entertainment, when in reality it helps shape collective consciousness. Fiction feeds Culture which feeds Futures. And Pantheon shows us a world where autonomous intelligences (uploaded in this case, meaning taken from the brain scans of people) have already taken into the Internet. A Future that doesn't feel so sci-fi anymore.
And even less so if you've been playing with onchain agents lately. Not only these agents become increasingly complex and capable, they also show a glimpse to the activities they could get involved with. From trading to buying stuff for you (abstracting the ugly in crypto like Bankr does) or becoming copilots for onchain communities experimenting in the frontier of human coordination, agents would have appeared mere fiction a couple (maybe even a single?) years ago.
And what will happen when different swarms of agents can interact and build with each other, the way Aethernet and Clanker have already done? How would that change our relationship with labor? What consequences may be hiding jus after the horizon ?
One thing is certain about the future: we are always constantly shaping it. And the fiction we propagate today will play a major role influencing the societies we build tomorrow.
