In a world where agents are searching, building, and signing up for services, how do you advertise your product?

The answer may still be the same: go where the attention is. Right now, that attention is concentrated in prompting frontends.

This is drifting from the point. The thread was about the share of territory with optimal farming climate, not per-capita anything, and not whether resource-poor countries can be advanced.

This seems useful as a standard interface, but, again, doesn’t solve the harder discovery problem. Once there is value in appearing in the top results, the system inherits the same adversarial dynamics as SEO/app stores, spam, scams, etc.

Speaking of StumbleUpon, I'm not sure whether this was just luck or something about its recommendation algorithm/social graph, but it was the only service where I didn't see the usual flood of traffic followed by rapid decay, the classic Slashdot/HN effect. The curve felt much smoother.

I remember some bloggers at the time describing the same thing [1].

I'd be curious if anyone knows more details.

Sadly, I've experienced this myself, and I'm aware of other people who were cut off from opportunities in similar ways. I applaud the tweet because this is important to say out loud: we are often not living in the world we think we are observing. Many people know this, but few talk about it. It's an open secret.

imagine a future where even talented mathematicians are nothing but noise

That would be AGI. My conjecture is that LLMs alone are not enough for that future. They are incredible, but AGI needs other breakthroughs.

In that sense, I think math is very different from chess or Go. Chess and Go are complete-information games with fixed rules and a fixed board. Math is open-ended.

That said, Apple still deserves a lot of credit. They had a 5+ year edge, especially around the vision of tightly integrating the NPU and unified memory.
