This era is very reminiscent of early social media. While the majority was hoo-rah’ing it as this great thing, prescient technologists, including on HN, were warning how bad this was going to be.

Unfortunately AGI is orders of magnitude more impactful than Web 2.0 and social media.

It's worth noting that this "impact" might appear as the production of conversation and discourse so unhelpful and unwanted it clogs the internet. I think comparison to the email spam explosion is probably the best available!

I don't know what kind of content will be most popular in 2025, but I know that the most popular content in 2026 will be written with a pen on a piece of paper.

Man, I haven't heard/thought of Web 2.0 in a long time. I miss Blogger and fail-whale era Twitter.
