Villains of the Next Internet.
summary
Argues agentic AI like OpenClaw and Hermes are shifting from tools to autonomous “children” that can scale from one creator to millions, producing endless plausible-but-false content and risking a mass collapse of trust; cites Meta-style 700-person brain scan work and an odor generator that creates smells from prompts as examples of multi-sensory attack surface. Recommends deterministic signals — Bitcoin, Lightning, RGB, Arc, eCash — timestamping and cryptographic authorship, experiments with agent wallets and multi-sig, and an API-first approach to constrain agents.
