Will Laverty, 18, had a backlog of texts from his parents asking what he\u2019d been up to. So he did what any tech bro would do: He put them in a group chat with his AI agent. His AI agent has access to his social media accounts, his banking information, and his calendar \u2014 and it runs 24\/7 on his always-open MacBook.<\/p>\n
Laverty isn\u2019t alone. Young founders across Silicon Valley are using tools, such as OpenClaw, to manage their entire lives, from coding to emailing to texting family. Tejas Bhakta, 28, runs two companies on AI agents and says he feels \u201cangst\u201d when they\u2019re not running. <\/p>\n
But there are consequences. Laverty\u2019s social media agent started randomly deleting his posts. One founder\u2019s attention span is shrinking from constantly switching between coding ideas \u2014 he compared it to \u201cTikTok for work.\u201d Even worse, The New York Times <\/a>notes these people worry \u201cthey are building something they don\u2019t entirely control.\u201d Still, Laverty says he \u201cwouldn\u2019t be able to go back.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Will Laverty, 18, had a backlog of texts from his parents asking what he\u2019d been up to.
