My view on AI agents is that a16z personally entered the field to create a narrative and inflate a bubble, which is then left to the market to continue the FOMO and grow larger.
Isn’t the essence of this narrative still about issuing tokens? It's just that now it's about issuing them for AI, shifting from seeking rights protection after losses to seeking it from AI after losses. I haven't seen how impressive it is to issue tweets through layered APIs.
But I also play along with the bubble, yet to describe this as something mystical feels a bit excessive, but when the prices rise, there is indeed great scholars debating the issue.
