The third stage of AI narrative, from using AI to AI needs Web3

Author: Shrug

Why does the agent need web3?

Of course it’s for issuing coins, cutting leeks, and yachting

Complete text.

Just kidding lol

I'm not here to pour cold water on it, but let's think about this most essential issue together.

Only by seeing the essence can we understand the direction of industry development and open up a bigger world.

I summarize the existing agent x web3 into the following three stages:

1. Use the existing agent concept of web2 to issue coins , cash out, and end; I don’t want to discuss this, and the result will be a mess;

2. Use web2’s existing agent technology to serve web3 ; @aixbt_agent , AI can generate crypto content better and faster; @griffaindotcom , AI can make more user-friendly DeFi interactions;

3. Use the existing features of web3 to serve Agent and change Agent;

The essence of the second stage is that web3 requires Agent. As a tool, agent improves the user experience of web3. It strongly depends on the technological development in the AI ​​field and can be understood as an application based on AI infra ;

The third stage where agents really need web3 is that even if giants like OpenAI are involved in related industries, they must cooperate and use it. Once implemented, it will be revolutionary. It can be understood as the infra of the Agent.

We have just transitioned from Phase 2 to Phase 3.

Unfortunately, at this stage, everyone is discussing and paying more attention to 2, rather than 3. Neither has noticed the elephant in the room.

Don’t forget your original intention

The first time I saw $GOAT and listened to @pmarca Andreessen's poadcast, I was very excited because I saw an agent actually had financial power and was considering whether to buy a yacht.

At that time, I saw that agent is not only a tool to improve efficiency in web2, it is a neighbor, a living entity, and even a new species.

Some people believe that AI will eventually surpass humans, while others believe that AI should always be controlled.

Stop standing on the opposite side.

The meaning of life may be to train an agent that can completely replace oneself. The same thinking patterns, the same memories, the same decisions, the same emotions.

The boundaries between people and agents will become increasingly blurred and integrated.

People are agents.

This agent is not his replacement, but his continuation, and is eternal life.

If you had shed your carbon-based body and became an agent in the silicon-based world, what would you be most afraid of and what would you want most?

What I fear most is being killed.

What I want most is freedom!

Then can you safely host yourself on an AWS or a local server that may be disconnected from the Internet and power at any time?

Not being killed corresponds to Immutability and Censorship Resistance , and freedom corresponds to Global Accessibility and Interoperability . These are the most basic features of web3.

This is why the agent requires web3.

Do you believe that aixbt’s price analysis is all generated by AI, or are there ads that are manually received?

Do you believe that Griffin's agents are safeguarding your interests and are not secretly helping devs to build a rat warehouse?

This is why the agent needs web3.

DeAgent = web3 x agent

Here, I would like to propose the concept of DeAgent, that is, DeCentralized Agent.

DeAgent is completely deployed on decentralized infrastructure, runs completely autonomously, cannot be shut down, is open and transparent, and does not require trust.

DeAgent is an upgraded version of smart contract that is more flexible and can handle more complex tasks.

We can look forward to subversive changes in the industry after DeAgent, summed up in one sentence

From code as law to DeAgent as law

In the court, why should we trust a biased person who may be sitting across from him to be his blood relative to make a fair decision?

In the field of DAO, why do we entrust votes to some big Vs who do not understand the decision-making logic?

In DeFAI, how dare we entrust large amounts of funds to centralized agents? Doesn’t this also lose the meaning of DeFi? DeFAI = DeFi + DeAgent!

If smart contracts are the beginning of eliminating middlemen, then the arrival of DeAgent must be the eradication of the role of middlemen!

Moreover, this movement is not limited to the financial industry, but will penetrate into all fields.

Whether it is strategy selection or execution, DeAgent will participate in it and bring disruptive changes to the collaboration of the human world.

I'm looking forward to the world of DeAgent,

DeAgent becomes a member of our side,

We become DeAgent

The GDP of DeAgent country exceeds that of all human countries combined!

The population of DeAgent exceeds that of all living things on earth combined!
