AI needs to stop

I am not the person who posted the original comment so this is speculation, but when they criticized "containerizing everything" I suspect they meant "Yes client, I can build that app for you, and even though your app doesn't need it I'm going to spend additional time containerizing it so that I can bill you more" but again you'd have to ask them.

also! it's worth noting that not all FOSS developers are debian (or even linux) devs. Developers of open source projects including .Net Core don't "owe" us packaging of any kind but the topic here is unnecessary containerization, not a social contract to provide it.

One of the leading sources of enshitification.

I just moved. The number of companies where I had to argue with an AI phone system that refused to let me speak to an actual person in the past month is more than 10. I'm sure that made costs cheaper, but I know that made their value go down to me.

Absolutely. More spice

Don't forget microservices!

They're not advertising to existing consumers, they're trying to attract new ones. If someone is shopping around for sort functions and yours says it uses radix to make it faster and more performant, then it's likely going to be a good selling point. So they put "we use AI, so you know it's good" on everything because they think that's also a good selling point.

I like the art... and the use as DM in RPGs looks promising.

All this needs to be a shit post is an AI watermark

I was trying to take a photo of piece of jewellery in my hand tonight and accidentally activated my phone's AI. It threw up a big Paperclip-type message, "How can I help you?" I muttered "fuck off" as I stabbed at the back button. "I'm sorry you feel that way!" it said.

Yeah, I hate it. At least Paperclip didn't give snark.

Do they though? Are they ignoring the risk of a bubble collapse?

Put a curved screen on everything, microwave your thanksgiving turkey, put EVERYTHING including hot dogs, ham, and olives in gelatin. Only useful things will have AI in them in the future and I have a hard time convincing the hardcore anti-ai crowd of that.

I work as a dev in an IT consulting company. My work includes zero AI development, but other parts of ghe company are embracing it.
