    What are we doing in life that we need ridiculous autocomplete to save time at work?

    If we wanna talk about absolutes, we don’t need commute at all, and cars, and we can just build trains and live happy lives without consuming so much shit.

    AI is not needed anywhere at all. Unlike food (vegan), water, heat, and shelter.

    Which many people don’t have.

    Gunpowder has some very good uses.

    AI has all the worst use-cases while frying the planet.

    AI will kill us not because it becomes sentient, but because we have turned our brains off and disregarded the coming extinction event.

    We don’t need software for everything. We need to scale down our evergy usage, and we can do that ourselves.


  • You must be new to the IT then.

    Clouds are only US, and they hold all the data and traffic for most of the world.

    Before them, operating systems - everyone and their mother using Windows.

    Phones? Google or Apple.

    Communication? Teams. Shared documents? Exchange. Countries are balls and hair deep in the US since the 90s and nobody really cared to do anything about it. SAP, Sellsforce, Palantir, Jira, Confluence, Github, many others I’m not even aware of, all US companies holding everything that companies and countries need in the US way before any AI. Which doesn’t even fucking work.

    None of this is new.

    Alternatives are there, but they need the money everyone sends to the US.
