Eli “Filter Bubble” Pariser is back with a 70-slides-deck calling AI agents the new feed algorithm, and sees a trust economy emerging: small, high-reputation communities beat mass reach, and whoever figures out the rules for the human-agent public square first wins.
- AI agents replace the feed as new information gatekeepers in the agentic interface era.
- Generative AI is destabilizing big social platforms with scale harassment, bots, and low-quality "slop".
- The trust economy replaces attention; people retreat to private "cozy web" spaces valuing thick reputation.
- Software abundance is lowering the cost to build, making small, bespoke, micro-platforms viable.
- Build high-trust communities, use AI for stewardship, and define rules for the human-agent public square.
