    We’re all busy arguing about AGI timelines. Meanwhile, ancient civilizations already solved multi-agent alignment using thunderbolts, tridents, and cosmic bureaucracy. The essay uses Greek and Hindu mythology as a fun way to think about multi-AI worlds—what “Fate” and “Dharma” might look like in technical terms, and how humans might live alongside powerful machine agents. Not a policy paper. Not theology. Just a fun thought experiment about AGI, power, and coexistence.
