AppLovin Co-Founder: The internet is 0 to 1, AI is 1 to ∞
According to 1M AI News's monitoring, Furqan Rydhan, co-founder of mobile ad tech company AppLovin, published a lengthy article on X titled "The Age of Abundance," with the core argument being that the AI Agent has crossed the practical threshold, and we are now entering the "Age of Abundance."
He believes that three things have converged: the quality of the AI Agent has upgraded from "interesting demo" to "able to deliver real work and trusted output"; token costs have plummeted, making tasks that were previously not worth automating cost-effective; and, more crucially, all infrastructure has long been digitized and interconnected, with Slack, GitHub, Notion, email, APIs all ready, enabling the AI Agent to exponentially amplify output by simply plugging into existing systems.
From this, he puts forth a judgment: the internet was "from 0 to 1," requiring building infrastructure from scratch, teaching people to use email, convincing businesses to go online; whereas AI is "from 1 to infinity," with infrastructure, platforms, connections, and data all set, allowing AI to stack an automatically compounding intelligent layer on top. The layer of work still requiring human effort in the internet age is precisely what AI Agents are absorbing and scaling.
He also proposes that "directive" (directional judgment) will become the scarcest ability: when the Agent can handle execution, the bottleneck shifts to "what to do" rather than "who does it." Taste, judgment, and the ability to identify key issues become disproportionately important. He claims to have seen a 3-person team deliver a product that previously required 30 people, and solo founders building projects that previously required venture-level funding to support manpower. Rydhan currently operates Founders, Inc. and the AI Agent platform Nebula.
