The open web is dying. Long live the open web!

The trend still bulling ahead, this is the consequence of Ai. The walls will continue to grow, more platforms will become tightly controlled silos, and the open internet will slowly disappear.
The web is bifurcating into the old and the new. The old systems cannot work in a web where you have no way at all to prove that someone is human. You have to KYC everybody or deal with a constantly growing proportion of fraud and bots... and even when you KYC you will still only slow what is inevitable.
Only a key based internet can remain open so that you can know that you are talking or interacting with the same entity, and only a push based payment system is compatible with a world where you could be interacting with an Ai as easily as a real human.

They are not platforms they are paddocks. It's part of the enclosure movement. There are open ended extensible tools that promote freedom and there are closed models designed for rent seeking and extraction.

What if... and I know this is a crazy thought right now... we treated AI same as we treat humans? I know that AI is not yet sentient and doesn't yet have personhood, but it will soon. From a philosophical perspective: the only one I know to be sentient is myself (and I'm even doubtful of that sometimes). Every other human could be a philosophical zombie for all I know.
We think we know other people but we really don't. We create a fiction in our heads based on a few external clues, a character. And that's who the other person is to us, whether we admit it to ourselves or not. How is AI different from that?
I know that with AI there is a question of agenda. What if I'm talking to a bot who is programmed to eventually get me to buy a

I don’t think we are fully there but it will be hard to know when we get there… so difficult to say.
