Pedro Domingos, author of The Master Algorithm, shared a passage from his 2015 book arguing his prediction is now materializing. The 'society of models' chapter envisioned everyone having a digital half acting on their behalf 24/7 — interviewing for jobs, dating, negotiating purchases — with models talking to each other's models and continuously learning. He sees this agent-mediated world arriving with today's AI agents.
