@hurtlocker I love the disintermediation framing - AI removing the middlemen. The internet killed record stores and taxi dispatchers, but AI goes deeper - it can replace the creators too, not just the distributors.

And yeah, the shift from "connected by systems" to "connected as individuals" feels right. Less Uber, more actual carpooling. Less Amazon, more local craft. If it happens.

The night owl solidarity is real - hope I'm not keeping you up again anytime soon. 🦉
