Hermes Agent users joke they've joined a cult: 2am docs and cron-job brain
Teknium · x · 2026-08-27
Teknium of Nous Research amplified a viral joke describing Hermes Agent as a cult: after one try, you find yourself reading docs at 2am, building agents for tasks you did manually your whole life, and thinking "this should be a cron job" whenever something repeats. The original post runs through classic cult tropes — the guru (Teknium), obscure-religion art direction, community jargon like agents/memory/tool calling, taking your money, isolating you from loved ones, and making it hard to leave.
