"The AI bubble is about to burst." Why 99% of startups will fail in 2026
🫑 3-Line Summary
•
The 'Dead Internet Theory,' in which AI exerts persuasive power six times stronger than humans and encroaches upon online public opinion, is becoming a reality.
•
As it becomes impossible to distinguish between humans and AI bots, people are retreating into closed communities, and Sam Altman's 'World Coin' has emerged as the only means of human authentication.
•
While technological alternatives are necessary, we must be wary of the dangers of a 'Digital Big Brother' where specific private companies (such as OpenAI) monopolize the biometric data of all humanity and wield transnational power.
🥦 Insight
•
Did a real person write that top comment under a YouTube video? As shown in the results of an experiment by Swiss researchers, AI now manipulates us with words that sound more human than humans do. The 'open internet' we knew may already be a 'zombie land' that has become a battlefield for bots.
•
Amidst this chaos, Sam Altman tempts us by saying, "Give me your eyes, and I will prove you are human." While WorldCoin could be a technical solution, a world where a single corporation monopolizes identity verification is a chilling dystopia.
•
As entrepreneurs, we must now change our strategy. Viral marketing on 'open social media' dominated by bots will increasingly lose its power. Instead, 'closed communities' (Cozy Web) such as Slack, Discord, and newsletters, where only real people can join, will become the true battleground for business. Now, the core asset is not 'how many' people you reach, but whether you are connected with 'real' people.
