# The forking of the internet

## Quote

> *'The internet right now is forking. There's the human web with fonts, with layouts, with what you're reading. And there's the agent web that's emerging with APIs, with structured data that's built for machine-to-machine readability.'*

— [[entity-nate-b-jones]]

## Why It Matters

The operational thesis-statement for [[concept-agent-web]]. The talk's structural argument hinges on accepting this fork as real and durable — once you do, [[claim-notion-evernote-obsolete]] follows almost immediately, and the case for the [[concept-open-brain-d22]] becomes the natural answer to 'so what infrastructure do I build for the *other* side of the fork?'
