AI is the ultimate aggregator: information plus actions at universal scale

- The author argues AI is the ultimate—and possibly final—aggregator humanity will need, drawing a parallel to Google sweeping up the internet's information and extracting value from the middle for decades.
- AI's leap is aggregating actions, not just information: connecting apps to models like Claude helps accumulate executable action sets; if every app does this, the model gains universal understanding of both information and current/future action sets.
- His conclusion: a synthetic entity understanding information + actions at universal scale is effectively AGI, and everything else lives downstream of that aggregation.
