At QCon 2026 Beijing, Su Jie delivered his talk using an AI digital avatar, with himself only responsible for flipping slides, and two months later, the flipping was automated. This performance art itself confirms his core judgment: AI folds time, while the internet folds space. Large models compress thousands of years of human wisdom into the model and can deduce future possibilities, which is diachronic; the internet's synchronicity focuses on current network connections.
Methodologies, disciplinary boundaries, and job boundaries based on human cognitive limitations are all 'lossy compressions' in the face of AI's computational power and will be deconstructed. AI can solve problems on a case-by-case basis, no longer needing set patterns. The unique value left for humans is asking questions, evaluating results, and taking responsibility.
Following this line of thought, Su Jie makes a bold judgment: in the future, there will be no to B products, only to C and to A. To B products essentially wrap a GUI around a database for humans, but agents don't need a GUI; they directly call APIs. Therefore, to B will be split into two halves: routine execution goes to agents (to A), and important decisions stay with humans (to C). The SaaS per-seat billing model is bound to collapse, shifting to usage-based micropayments.
