Every generation of computing believes the interface it loves will last forever. It never does. I saw information move from floppy disks to BBSs, from BBSs to the Web, from the Web to Flash, from Flash back to open standards, from websites to mobile apps, and now from search engines to AI chat interfaces. The Web will not vanish overnight, but the Web as we know it, the open place where people search, click, read, browse, publish, and discover, is already being replaced by something more convenient, more centralized, and much harder to escape.
Far from it… unfortunately, every tech that goes mainstream gets ruined. The internet was a much nicer place (and BBS before that) when it still required a minimum of 2 brain-cells to get online.

I don’t think he knows about second walled-garden.
