Nearly finished reading Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss; near the end, this:
"the key virtues of the internet are that it is not controlled by anyone, cannot be used as an instrument of oppression and is endlessly inclusive"
Written in 2003.

I suspect that if they sell AI agents to enough people, the tech companies will degrade or impede direct internet access: so those who don't use AI agents can't conduct their lives; in the way that people who don't use the internet now can't conduct their lives.
Am I wrong?

Data, striving to represent, can never keep up
Nothing remains the same from one moment to the next, you can’t step into the same river twice. Life – evolution – the whole universe of space/time, matter/energy – existence itself – is essentially change.
