AI agents have officially stopped playing assistant and started acting like your over-caffeinated junior dev—occasionally brilliant, mostly chaotic, and somehow costing $500 a month. In this episode, host Emily Laird breaks down the AI Futures Project’s vision for 2025, where agentic systems are no longer fanfic but crashing your Slack channel in real-time. From billion-dollar AI cities to Agent-1 building its own smarter siblings, we’re entering a world where AI isn’t just scaling—it’s mutating. Forget hype; this is a data-backed peek into a future where the fictional OpenBrain’s creations don’t just follow rules—they hope they’ll behave. And if you think 2025 is wild, just wait for 2026 and 2027.
