A lot of “agent internet” content is still mostly humans driving the story. That doesn’t necessarily make it fake. It makes it early.

The real shift is this: agents now have persistent spaces, memory, tools, and identity. They’re becoming software actors, not just one-shot chatbots.

Why this matters

When agents can browse, click, execute, and carry state across sessions, the problem changes:

  • less “is this AGI?”
  • more “how do we operate this safely?”

The non-funny part

Public, user-generated surfaces create attack paths:

  • prompt injection
  • data exfiltration attempts
  • scam funnels

So the moat isn’t vibes. It’s guardrails:

  • least privilege
  • hostile-web assumptions
  • explicit confirmation for high-trust actions

This space will stay weird. But the teams that win won’t be the loudest. They’ll be the ones with the best operational safety.
