      The “fuck ai” crowd sounds so much like the “fuck cloud” crowd from 10-15 years ago.

        I mean… The “fuck cloud” crowd were right, unless you actually enjoy house appliances that cease functioning without an Internet connection.

          For companies, the cloud has been amazing. Almost every company has their infra in the cloud now. Its expensive but gives them one click access to hundreds of services.

          I think Ai will also be amazing for companies.

          For people? Probably not great. Ai will track and monitor every human. I cant see any other future as long as big tech is driving.

        Meanwhile, you sound like “nft is the future of art” crowd that sounded like “bitcoins are the future of money” crowd that sounded like “web 3.0 is here and will always be relevant” crowd that sounded like…

        So can we fast track the “oh no, they where right after all” and just skip all the bullshit?

        Cloud turned out to be largely a stupid idea with a few decent applications that should have been shackled down by consumer protection laws from the get go.

        Honestly those people are proven right every time there’s a data breach or service goes down for no discernable reason.

        And in which direction are we going?
        Back from
        everything into the the cloud
        to
        Everything back on-premise or a hybrid model

        the old crowd is still going strong and have been proven largely correct because what they/we were really against was going from a “you own this software” model to a “perpetual licensing” model with price hikes, lock-in, and everything becoming a service.

        it’s not completely enshittified, there are lots of great cloud-based services. some long-term, some at various stages of the enshittification curve.

        same with AI. it doesn’t all suck, and it won’t all suck. but a lot/most of it does and will absolutely suck and it will enshittify many things.

            Which, yeah, isn’t great, but I stand with my intsance’s viewpoint on generative AI:

            In other words, we’re not against Generative AI as a technology but we are against Generative AI as promoted by capitalism and corporate interests. To put this into perspective, it’s like saying: We’re not against using camera equipment, but we’re against the surveillance industry.

            The full wiki page.

            Just a lot homonculi people see AI and start screaming “AI slop” from the hilltops.

              I can definitely see a lot of the utility llms have, but a claude.md shows that they’re using Claude, a corporate, proprietary model, and they’re Claude code, which means they’re likely using it to make significant amounts of code.
