i've been thinking alot about the world valuing good taste, common sense and authenticity more. Just people willing to pay for your independent thoughts, that at this point is way more expensive and real than AI-generated content. This is [[Supercredibility]] in action. Trust and credibility compound over time, and in a world of infinite content, that [[Seamless web of well deserved trust|seamless web of trust]] becomes the real moat. In this world, I see the rise of well [[Themes shaping 2025#^2e898b|curated digital environments]]. Environments where human creativity drives expression and innovation, while using tools and augmentation, albeit selectively. The way we explore and build [[Information Evolution, Personal Knowledge & Collective Intelligence|knowledge]] is changing. See also: [[Themes shaping 2025]] I've been frustrated by the large amount of slop and cheap content that's fighting for our attention. Here, [[How AI Verification Tools Actually Work - A Technical Deep Dive|verification tools]] will play a critical role as it becomes [[Deception x Detection|easier to deceive and harder to detect]]. The economics are clear: [[AI Verification|verification, not generation, is the bottleneck]]. I've been trying to imagine what a world without interfaces looks like too, or as they are now calling it [[The Headless Web Transition|headless web]]. In this world, we're not necessarily designing for delightful human experiences, but actually delightful [[AI agents|agentic]] experiences. [[Technology Intimacy]] keeps accelerating. Computing gets closer and closer. [[Control the browser & win the customer|Whoever controls the browser, controls what you do next]]. The question becomes: what's [[AI era Defensibility|defensible]] in design when AI can generate interfaces on the fly? Data structure becomes the new branding. The interaction logic, the workflow intelligence. That persists. See: [[Autonomous AI Agents - The rise, potential and challenges]] I've come across many useful [[Step 4 - Product and Design|tools]] to use lately, with the following UI libraries standing out: 1.
