This week on Net Society we’re joined by special guest Seth Goldstein, who brings his perspective on building creative AI agents and the future of digital culture. The crew dives into the growing backlash against AI and fears around jobs, then explores the thrill of coding benders and the new sense of empowerment they bring. From there, the group wrestles with psyops, rabbit holes, and how cultural memory shapes our adoption of technology, before tracing historical parallels in how innovations diffuse over time. The conversation shifts to vibe coding, creativity, and the contrasting energies of East and West Coast approaches, then into on-chain experiments, autonomous agents, and the emerging religion of AI. The episode closes with reflections on entropy, weirdness, and the collective need to loosen up.
