We are rushing towards a future where the Web is no longer designed for humans to use. The Web will all be APIs. In other words, rather than a human physically looking and interacting with a Website, an AI agent will interact with a Website directly.
And this doesn’t even begin to address the issue of the app economy. I just don’t see how apps survive when we live in a post-Knowledge Navigator. The entire app economy will implode into a Singularity.
The one thing I wonder about is the idea of ASIs controlling huge swathes of our everyday lives on a macro basis. This works on the assumption, of course, that we’re going to skip AGI and go straight to ASI.
But there is a chance of a middle point with AGI where we would have something I call the “Nudge Economy” whereby LLMs native to their smartphones will “nudge” them to do this or that thing in the background..
Who knows what is going to happen. But I do think that the next five years could be rather astonishing in the amount of changes we will go through.
