In the most pessimistic scenario it’s the only future (hope ) people have if they want to stay being people. The most pessimistic future of the commercial internet is every piece of information locked behind your personalized chat bot, every content tailored to you only and generated by machine. Just hook up to the matrix, they’re waiting for you.

You can host ollama and open-webui on container. If you want to wire search you can connect open-webui to playwright (also container) and searxng (also container) and llm will search the web for answers

If time is the only problem with self hosting we should work on this even more because it’s only accessibility issue.

What if it’s foreign AI ?

Commercial web over the years is slowly transforming from education and news into video entertainment platform, this is just next step. I hope AI slop will accelerate transition towards decentralized federated trust ring networks. I also hope it will destroy or at least largely damage current internet / cloud monopolies - google / meta / amazon / microsoft. Maybe public knowledge will be harmed but people will always find the way to pass information without slop.

Because market size for code editors is very small compared to email, games, document viewers and social networks.

Someone doesn’t know what mockumentary or docufiction is. There were lots of fake videos way before AI. This is just amplification because of better accessibility.

The quality was always questionable in IT because of how projects are being managed. That’s why you have consulting companies. The only difference you get from AI is companies trying to lower the wages and reduce costs to share profit with AI companies. Those tools bring no more value than hiring more junior / bootcamp level developers. The difference is from junior developer you can in a year or two get full team member but from AI you will get constraint amount of slop because it doesn’t evolve.

Quality in this economy ? We need to fire some people to cut costs and use telemetry to make sure everyone that’s left uses AI to pay AI companies because our investors demand it because they invested all their money in AI and they see no return.

Best developers are looking for solutions not for problems. It’s not about talent, amount of commits, projects, years of experience but about mentality. If you’re looking for problems you’re looking to the void because tech is one big fucking problem and pain in the ass.

web TV ads can be easily blocked but recent advancements in hardware locking added cryptography chip so I imagine it would be some hardware chip you have to remove to get rid of ads that will overlay half of the screen

Looks like corporate are locking hardware… again.

Tariffs

There is still no animation software that can match flash brush style / color or animation techniques.

I’m waiting for free phones / tv with split screen 50% AD 50% your content but only AI generated.

Future profit of $300M can result in a nice Christmas bonus. Imagine myself on that meeting where everyone is making up numbers until they are big enough.

Life, each day I feel it’s less of it.
