But they could have a thousand-agent swarm connected via MCP to everything within our field of vision to bury us with ads.

It's been a long time since I read "The Third Wave" and up until 2026, not much has reminded me about its "Small is beautiful", and "rise of the prosumer" themes besides the content creator economy which is arguably the worst thing to ever happen to humanity's information environment, and LLM agent discussions.

> the content creator economy

This is exactly one of the things I find maddening at the moment. "Everyone" (except my actual friends) on social media is trying to sell me something.

Eg: I like dogs. It's becoming increasingly hard to follow dog accounts without someone trying to sell me their sponsor's stuff.
