I was with you on the first two, but the second one I don't get? We don't even have AGI right now, and social media sites are already increasingly viewed by many people I know as having dubious value. Adding LLM's to the mix lowers that value, if anything (spam/bots/nonsense go up). Adding AGI would seem to further reduce that value.

Well we will find out. I think the audience has value to advertisers, and I suspect that basic mechanic will continue in to the future.

I think we have all been saying this for 15 years but they keep getting more valuable.
