Jordan Hall recently published The Coming Great Transition v2.0, arguing that AI collapses coordination costs and will dissolve many scarcity-era institutions, replacing them with distributed human–AI collaboration networks built on trust (“pistis”).
I’ve been thinking about a different possibility while working on some essays about the post-LLM web.
If AI systems can generate discourse environments at scale, the scarce resource may no longer be information. It may be credible human presence.
That suggests a different architecture in which humans increasingly serve as legitimacy infrastructure within machine-mediated systems.
I wrote a longer article exploring the implications for trust systems, cybersecurity and AI governance.
This grew out of some work I’ve been doing on the evolution of the web from attention extraction and ontological desynchronisation to what I call “human integration”.
The Great Transition… or the Great Integration?
