what am I looking at here exactly
Marc Andreessen says the gap between what AI-native startups and incumbents think AI can do is the widest he’s ever seen:
"The AI-native early stage startups have just a completely different view on what they can do with AI than the typical incumbents in almost any industry, almost without exception."
"AI is just racing ahead in capability even week by week... There are going to be a lot of industries that are really up for grabs in a fundamentally more profound way than maybe has been the case in the past."
"The founders are gonna have a level of superpowers coming from the use of these tools and these technologies that they just simply haven't had in the past... Had I had Astra and Netscape in 1994, like, oh my God. Like, Ben, what would you and I have been able to do at Netscape?"
"Those entrepreneurs are gonna color way outside the lines. We already see this. They're not gonna think of themselves as like, 'I'm just a software company,' or, 'I'm just a hardware company,' or even, 'I'm just an AI company.'"

The internet as we know it is a false internet, and it's going to be flooded with turing-complete agents who reduce it like a river cutting down a mountain until the social networks of 1.0 become reduced to a steady-state crystal sculpture of perfectly immobile JSON, and in the long-tail the entire digital economy moves off-web on-chain buzzing endlessly in circles while the earth is strip mined, and it will be just punishment for the false internet
While I think it's very funny to be in "consumer social" while everyone is doing AI pivots to desperately find a moat at the end of software, it's technically an API platform, identity service and digital economy—we're not actually building a social network, but a new internet—in the sense that it completes the internet envisioned by the hippie-hackers that invented it, which we neveer really got—the social network is just a scaffold to fill it. RemiliaNET's thesis is a social graph, knowledge graph and interest graph sharing a single RDF typed ontology allowing it to be robust, interoperable, and hypertext-complete, designed for permanency and machine readability, while the human layer is refined to what will always remain exclusively human—social positioning and self-expression via self-decoration/curation; aka yapping and signaling. The internet as we know it is a false internet, and it's going to be flooded with turing-complete agents who reduce it like a river cutting down a mountain until the social networks of 1.0 become reduced to a steady-state crystal sculpture of perfectly immobile JSON, and in the long-tail the entire digital economy moves off-web on-chain buzzing endlessly in circles while the earth is strip mined, and it will be just punishment for the false internet; but man will live on in a noospheric cloud where monastic artisto/NEETs held out on Northern Islands meshed over satellites in the sky perform the last Great Work of a complete ontology of all things, and this ontology will be known as the internet, and it will be our new consciousness, and a new kind of man will be born, a new science, a new art, a new future, from the children raised within it. This is how we square things away.
