AI is breaking the social contract that has let the internet thrive for decades.
Amidst the disruption, a new reality is emerging:
🫂Connection survives
💸Trust is scarce
🧑💻Building is cheap
This is a new, specific, unusual combination, and it provides a surprisingly non-apocalyptic opportunity…
🫂 In an agentic world, human connection survives.
Artificial intelligence will increasingly fulfill many social media functions. But there are many roles agents will never fill.
💸 If trust is the new economy, thick reputation is the new currency.
When engagement metrics become meaningless, attention alone cannot produce the same returns. Trust — in the content and the creator — are becoming more important to users and user attention.
🧑💻 We are moving into a world of software abundance.
Vibecoding at scale also unlocks: more builders, more platforms, at smaller scales.
These 3 facts offer new, unique opportunities. ⬇️
What do we do when connection survives, trust is scarce, and building is cheap?
We build small, excellent online spaces, with support for human leaders, and we ensure that the internet is re-imagined for both humans and AI to share.
