Could P2P (peer to peer) social networks be the killer app of autonomous AI agents?
The views expressed in this article are my own?
There is an interesting article in the FT which says essentially that?
Its not possible to run an uncensored social network and balance safety for all.
I agree with this?
The recent change in social media could actually lead to a decline of social media as a whole. ie people will abandon social media
Those of us who are in the UK abandoned Meta Facebook after Cambridge Analytica - and maintain a presence but no activity.
I am interested in what could replace current social media platforms from a technological sense
Specifically,?
Could P2P peer to peer social networks be the killer app of AI agents?
The founding vision of the Internet was Peer to Peer - if you consider initiatives like the ARPANET
领英推è
Today, far from a decentralised network, we have one of the worst forms of oligarchy on the Internet
The Internet was supposed to dis-intermediate the gatekeepers - but we have ended up with some of the largest monopolies in history
So, autonomous AI agents would have agency on your behalf
They would seek out and connect to like minded sources creating and participating in organic communities on your behalf
They would be customised to your personality
The system would scale since its P2P
It would benefit paid content providers
The idea is not outlandish as it sounds?
Currently content is not tied to a platform in most cases (ex youtube videos are not tied to youtube)
The platform simply provides a discovery mechanism which could be replaced by autonomous AI agents in P2P mode. Hence, next to search and SAAS, social media could be one of the biggest commercial prizes for new AI systems?
If you still doubt this - think how many people remember myspace?

2 个月I really like the evolution concept! I read an article recently (can’t remember to cite it) that suggested one of the advances this year could be personalized AI. I had thought about this before…could you create a market where coders interview a client and build AI and general software around them? AI currently is trained to accomplish what the AI companies THINK I want. But isn’t it supposed to help ME think. So I love your idea of AI that builds my social network the way I want it to build for what I want it to do

2 个月I am all for this year being the year of P2P, as for AI agents connecting on our behalf, I know many people would just ask them to prospect for them and go and find all potential customers. Then you would end up with thousands of agents talking to each other and no humans.
Emediately
2 个月Interesting premise, I am also thinking whether blockchain can be used to facilitate the p2p network.
