Wanted to ask you about this article, how do you remember the early days of the internet (I was sadly too young at that time). Do you wish it back? And do you think it can ever be like that again? I would be very interested

    It’s gotten so bad that I think we are inevitably heading to a future where we don’t even visit websites, we just have ‘AI’ digest the site (or sites) and give us a summary of the information. This sort of thing will probably have even more negative effects on web browsing because it will create new perverse incentives for content designed to be ingested by LLM’s instead of humans. Let alone the disruption on advertising revenue that drives a lot of the free web.
