How much longer will we use social feeds?
We’re almost 20 years into the Facebook home feed era.
Synthetic content is rising. Authenticity is fading.
Social won’t disappear, but I think this version of it is near the end.

AI just turned everyone into a builder.
When creation becomes frictionless, products stop being the moat.
People become it.
Distribution is social.
Retention is community.
The next generation of apps will not compete on features, but on belonging.

Compound your reputation.
It won’t be is this an agent, it will be who is controlling this agent.

Challenge your curiosity.
In a world where every answer is a chat window away, be different.
Beware the hive mind.

The moment you turn to a screen your world will become hyper-ephemeral.
You want something, you’ll turn to an agent to do it, software will be created instantly on your behalf, it’ll be used, then deleted.
You know what’s not ephemeral?
People.
We have preferences, traits, origin stories that live with us forever.
These worlds must learn to co-exist.

Agentic commerce will only grow from here. Been a big fan of Tobi since opening a Shopify store 15 years ago. https://x.com/tobi/status/2010372642843599064?s=46&t=of-qlV11F1g4pOBsBd2GpA

I’ve been thinking a lot about where the internet is heading as AI and synthetic content explode.
Here’s my attempt to put words to a feeling I’ve had while building @intori. We’re at a fork in the road between synthetic comfort and real human connection.
Would love thoughtful reactions, even disagreement.

Head of Instagram Adam Mosseri just gave his take on how AI will affect Instagram creators and social media.
tldr: lots of slop coming, authenticity is key

When thinking about digital technologies that you love most, they are the ones that help you to be in contact with people you have actual relationships with across distances.
We’ve literally had this in recent past, and it’s time we bring these experiences back.

Our attention is being directed through casino-like mechanisms of platforms.
I think we’ll see increasing growth in technologies and models of consumption that seek to evade the exhausting reality of the endless attention commodification we’re living through today.

Whether or not it’s the lone cause, life in the attention age is more anxious and more depressed, more isolated and less social.
If attention is the substance of life, then the question of what we pay attention to is the question of what our lives will be.

If you can’t be heard, it doesn’t matter what you say.
Right now it’s both easier than ever to shout and harder than ever to be heard.
