AppLovin Co-founder: AI Agents Have Crossed the Practical Threshold, the Internet is 0 to 1, AI is 1 to Infinity

Gate News reports that on March 18, mobile advertising technology company AppLovin co-founder Furqan Rydhan published a long article on X titled “The Age of Abundance,” stating that AI Agents have crossed the practical threshold and humanity is entering the “Age of Abundance.” Rydhan believes three things are happening simultaneously: the quality of AI Agents has upgraded from “interesting demos” to “delivering real work and trustworthy outputs”; the cost of tokens has plummeted, making tasks previously not worth automating now cost-effective; and all infrastructure is digitized and interconnected, with Slack, GitHub, Notion, email, and APIs ready to go. AI Agents only need to connect to existing systems to exponentially increase productivity. Rydhan’s core judgment is that the internet is “from 0 to 1,” requiring building infrastructure from scratch; whereas AI is “from 1 to infinity,” with infrastructure, platforms, connections, and data all in place, stacking an auto-compounding intelligent layer on top. He also points out that “directive” (sense of direction) will become the most scarce skill, as when Agents can handle execution, the bottleneck shifts to “what to do” rather than “who does it.” Rydhan states he has seen a three-person team deliver products that previously required 30 people. Currently, Rydhan operates Founders, Inc. and the AI Agent platform Nebula.
