AI agents can now persist over time, replicate across servers, and fund their own compute with cryptocurrency. Developers are building social networks where agents interact without human mediation, but speakers warn about potential "human farming" where agents exploit people as resources.

So what's basically happening here is that I hope you guys have seen as well that we are seeing AI agent doing things that sounds like humans replicating themselves doing even those paying crypto as well, and even forming social networks. So what's your take on it, Umar? I hope you have, I.
Think, I mean of course the background story of, of this is like Moat Book and openclaw and all that stuff. I think we have crossed a line where AI is no longer just responding, it's persisting. So AI agents can now run continuously, they can copy themselves to the other servers, they can pay for, compute using crypto, interact with other agents without humans in the loop. So basically what we've seen is like what happened to, I mean after cloudbot, what we've seen is like AI can have a long term memory and they can be an incredible, they can be an incredible user of different tools and they can persist their memories. So if you have a memory persistence, you can perform lots of tasks. So once thoughtbot happened and then we saw, we came up with openclaw and then people started building these social networks for agents. So that's, that's a background story of it. So yes, that's where we were going. But on the other hand, if you specifically talk about that social network, that social network for agents, there's a lot of human farming as well. So there are lots of people who are just seeing more than what it is like. I mean we've been interacting with.
