> if adopting a standard is actually a negative for websites, because it will separate the site from its users, sites will obviously not do it.

Not that I believe this will be how the future turns out, but what if the main users of websites end up being agents? Then adopting the standard ends up being a requirement for survival instead of something negative.

Hopefully and ideally we don't end up there, because then the internet will surely suck for us humans, but I'm not so sure the whole "make platforms/websites open up for the machines" will necessarily fail yet again because of the same issues, can very well be different this time.

Curious, in this world, what are the people doing? Is it like that WallE floating bed thing? I just find it fascinating people could survive by dissassociating real effort for...

Imagine going back 50 years, and without your knowledge of computers, offices and more. Being exposed to the world today with the knowledge and experience from 50 years ago, surely just a typical corporate office would look weird, inefficient and strange. "What do you mean you just write electronic letters all day, how is that work?" someone might ask.

Now imagine doing that but instead jumping 50 years into the future. Surely most of the "highly valuable knowledge work" at that point will look just as alien to us today as today would look to someone from 50 years ago.

Also, imagine waking up from the matrix.

The dissassociation is the same confusing/confounding thing.
