> I mean, if you really want X11 to continue to be developed, there's this thing in society called "money" that you can use to exchange for goods (such as food and clothing) or services (maintaining a display server). I suggest using money to convince people to maintain it would be a good course of action.

Wow, rare Hacker News W:

> This is the true problem with AI. It's with who owns it, and what they will inevitably use it for. Whether it can do cool stuff with code or equal a junior developer is irrelevant. What it can do is less important than what it will be used for.

> The owning class will use it to reduce payroll costs, which from their perspective is a cost center and always will be. If you're not an owner, then you have no control over the direction or use of AI. You are doomed to have your life disrupted and changed by it, with no input whatsoever. To quote the article, your six shillings a day can become six shillings a week, and you are left to just deal with it however you can. You are "free" to go find some other six shilling a week job. If you can.

> And if you think, "Oh, every technology is like this, it's always been this way", you are right. You have always been at the whims of the owning class, and barring a change towards economic democracy, where average people regain control over their lives, it likely always will be.

2024-10-16T20:24:03Z

Your only real bet is to rely on things that are cross-cloud by default (Kubernetes, S3 or something that can speak the S3 API). There's no real way to go multi-cloud without lock-in. There's no real way to go single-cloud without lock-in. There's no real way to go on-premesis without lock-in.

Computers just kinda suck these days because of the capitalist rent-seeking powers that be that demand that everything be forged from the mines of pure suckitude.

2024-07-08T14:40:33Z

I have been having some difficulty with motivation for creating things lately, and not because of writer's block or anything like that. I've actually been having difficulty with motivation because of the fact that whatever I make, it will just be the input to a system that will replace me. Or at least the input to a system that will be able to 80/20 the things that I do. And I don't know how to feel about this.

Per hour, I cost a fair bit of money, and I need to sleep at night. I need to take vacations. I can burn out. I can get sick. I have medical leave.

A large language model doesn't need to do any of that. AI tools don't have those problems. They go 24/7. They never have to sleep. They don't get RSI. They don't burn out. They don't take vacations. They just continue doing the thing that they're set up to do until the computer shuts off.

I don't know how to feel about it.
