Worldbuilding for AI w/ Poof from DXRG & Martin from Aethernet | Ep. 59

Agents can "think" and talk... but they're confined in a carefully crafted world. In episode #59 of Internet Explorers, Jess and Josh dive into a diverse lineup of topics, beginning with DXRG, an experimental AI and crypto project redefining how decentralized systems can drive creative expression. They explore its groundbreaking first drop, "The Singularity," which used onchain prompts and live-streamed AI agents to create a uniquely interactive experience. The discussion shifts to Aethernet, where they check in on one of the earliest AI agents in crypto, reflecting on its impact and lessons learned. The hosts then tackle the debate around “Tokens Aren't Equity”, exploring the limitations of viewing tokens as traditional financial instruments and what that means for the future of crypto. They also highlight Tokenize/acc, discussing its potential to accelerate funding mechanisms for unconventional crypto experiments. The episode wraps up with Mozi, a new app trying to make "social" social again, by showing which of your friends are going to the same event as you. 0:00 - Intro  0:56 - Start of Episode 3:16 - DXRG  26:45 - Aethernet  43:05 - Tokens Aren't Equity 48:00 - tokenize/acc  54:34 - Mozi Internet Explorers is a weekly rundown show where extremely online individuals broadly explore (romanticize, even) new consumer internet experiences.
