Aravind Srinivas's hypothesis on how advertising works with AI agents is quite interesting.
Aravind explains, Instead of showing ads to humans directly, advertisements would be targeted at AI agents that work on users' behalf.
Users never see ads, they simply tell their AI agents what they need for eg if he gave, "I'm going to go to Rambagh for two nights, plan my schedule, do my bookings"
In the backend, Multiple vendors compete for the agent's attention & companies bid for the agent's consideration. So everything happens at the AI level.
Agents can also use more compute power to analyse offer to find out advertising attempts & make decisions based on user preferences. Also users can instruct their agents to ignore certain brands , this will remain confidential to between the agent & the user.
This creates new revenue streams for AI companies & gives a better user experience.

Marc Andreesen on why building companies will become more expensive in the AI Era.
There's a notion that AI will help cut down costs and increase efficiency. However, Marc presented a strong counterargument by referencing Jevon's paradox.
Jevon's paradox:
The Jevon's paradox occurs when technological progress increases the efficiency with which a resource is used (reducing the amount necessary for any one use), but the falling cost of use induces increases in demand enough that resource use is increased, rather than reduced.
He gave some eg of Jevon's Paradox:
->Building roads will only lead to more cars & resulting in traffic.
->CGI in hollywood was developed to reduce the cost of film making but people's expectation increased, so cost involved in CGI also increased.
->Coal consumption increased in Industrial Revolution when the coal prices decreased.
He says,The paradox here making cost of a given piece of software would be reduced, but the massive surge of demand for more powerful softwares will actually increase the cost of building a software company. Customers will start seeking for more & more powerful features.

"Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride."
