We’re in a very strange moment for the internet. We all know it’s broken. That’s not news. But there’s something in the air—a vibe shift, a sense that things are about to change.

I wish I could be this optimistic, but I believe it's way too early to be talking about fixing the internet right before it's about to be broken like we're only just beginning to see.

With the rise of AI becoming borderline indistinguishable from human in the areas of text, image, audio, and video generation, we are only getting the first taste of how badly the very foundations of our communications are about to be broken. That foundation is trust.

Like with anything there will be the good with the bad, and it's probably not going to be the doom of the world. But it's too early to be talking about fixing the internet as we are about to see a huge paradigm shift - how can we have a solution when a huge new problem is right around the corner?

Just my 2c.
