the dead internet is here we've all forgotten, but social media didn't start off as social media they started off as social networks the internet used to be a place where we could connect with our friends, to keep in contact with them, to feel closer to them at some point social networks changed and it all became social media it became more about media and content than connection you used to be able to open instagram and see friends, but then you started seeing strangers what's happening right now is far worse you can't even be sure you're seeing another person 57%+ of all internet traffic is now bots, it's clear the internet isn't for humans anymore physical spaces, offline communities, and the real world are where people are gravitating towards where people go value always follows

everything on the internet eventually becomes commerce and ads where instinct seems to be getting it wrong is assuming people want to use instinct to shop agents are going to great at a lot of things: canceling forgotten subscriptions, disputing traffic tickets, getting out of jury duty, filing a complaint to fix a pot hole, etc. anything you would consider to be a chore, just have your agent do it shopping (and discovery) though are leisure activities, they're things that people do for fun you wouldn't have your agent daydream for you, so why would you have your agent shop for you?

there's a lesson here

and y'all really think people want agents shopping for them?

three things will continue to be true: 1) the internet will be for bots, agents, and ai 2) people will gravitate even more towards the real world, offline communities, and human connection 3) shopping (and discovery) continues to be a human leisure activity

had two different chats last week where the other person mentioned how much they miss foursquare

i open instagram and don't see friends anymore we also have a 9 month old and leisure time is non existent nowadays work family time sleep and if there's enough left over i'm able to squeeze in a handful of workouts a week i don't know if i have enough time (or care?) for reinvented social media but i do miss my friends and pretty much only see them if we go on a run or do a workout together IRL

you can just do things

ramen seasoning packets have been cpg'd

the greatest minds of our time have pivoted from crypto to ai to opening corgi cafes

your chat is boring but it doesn't have to be
