Chipp Chatter - Always on means always off and the rise of the agentic web
The agentic web will change how we create content - maybe not for the better. Learn about the new specialized internet and why "always-on" devices will push value to private corners of conversation.
AI is moving quickly. 💨
Here are the highlights from the week that was in AI and Chipplandia and our spicy takes on what it actually means:
AI Highlights from Around the Web
The Future Won't Be Simple - It'll Be Specialized
Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky pushes back against the "one AI to rule them all" mindset. His key insight: every task needs its own interface, every user their own kind of agent.
🌶️ People should be able to build what they want, not just use what is given. AI enables this power. I expect more horizontal solutions that are customized for every user rather than vertical solutions everyone has to use the same way.
Microsoft's Agentic Web Strategy
Dan Shipper breaks down Microsoft's big bet on agentic web technology. The key? Agents need context to be truly useful, and Microsoft is building the infrastructure to make that happen seamlessly.
🌶️ The web is being redesigned for agents. What happens when content is created for agents instead of humans? Will that mean a loss of depth and complexity - or will it do the opposite and enable us to transmit more information to more people with less work?
The Dark Side of Always-On AI
Ethan Mollick highlights a troubling new reality - AI makes secret recordings way more valuable since they can now be processed into actionable insights. He shares Allie K. Miller's story about discovering someone was secretly recording their private conversation at an AI event.
🌶️ The most valuable information will be shared privately. Always on recording may cause people to hold back in their interpersonal interactions.
Chipp Highlights
Chipp Builder Series with Don Barger
This week we sat down with Don Barger, who's been solving problems at International Mission Board for 27 years. Don created Faith Bot - an NFC-powered Bible study tool that's reached 14,000 users by making scripture accessible through simple phone taps. His approach to AI is brilliant: spend most of your time understanding the problem, then let AI help with the solution.
