Two internets coexist: ChatGPT hits 1.2B weekly users, yet 85% of the world still doesn't use it

Maker tibomaker argues there are currently "two internets": one where agent swarms run companies and everyone chases the one-person billion-dollar idea, and another where real paying users still photograph their laptop screens with phones to share things.
Key stat: ChatGPT just hit 1.2 billion weekly users, but roughly 85% of the world still doesn't use it. We debate superintelligence while most people are still figuring out screenshots.
His takeaway: both realities are true at once, and there's real money in building for both.
