vboykis · x · 2026-11-08

vboykis points to a Lobsters thread on agentic web traffic and distills three key problems to tackle: detecting and surfacing human-written content ("we used to check for bots, now we need to check for humans"), how to synthesize content, and how to get agents past gated walled gardens to access content. She calls the thread one of the most interesting looks at new engineering and product problems in the agentic traffic era.
