You’re arguing the wrong points. You didn’t really read what I said.

I don’t care about Javascript. I don’t want my computer catching dependency hell or cryptominer herpes.

I don’t want that shit rawdogging my system, go package it up into something sensible. I don’t want its entrails all over my system and I don’t want it breaking something elses dependencies.

Ha. Eventually, the bottom will drop out the market as low-cost NPUs pick up the model running. A good enough open model will emerge and there wont be a market for a paid model.

We’re already kinda seeing it on the hardware side. Eventually it’ll all dissolve into the hardware like how MPEG2 decode hardware for DVDs was once upon a time an expensive addon accellerator card, but is now fractions of a square mm of gates laid out as part of a larger assembly within the silicon of your GPU.

That was my first reaction until I noticed its object-orientated.

Then I baulked at having to rawdog node and npm on my machine.

no thank you.

Eventually the circus has to go away because the cost of tokens is too high - its literally cheaper to train software developers.

Also, the cost to business from having business-continuity-ending events is gonna eat some of these businesses.

I’m glad it smelled as suspect to someone else.

Its threads like this that make me glad that these people are running around making infinite work for me to be doing, fixing the messes these people are making.

Alas, noody wants to pay for the work to be done

The world is full of clowns and I don’t want to be in their circus any more

It is strange seeing the physical manifestation of a web endpoint, to me, in 2026, after decades of cloudslop.

Its just a computer! on a shelf! you can go hold it!

How dejected could you be when you can bring someone such joy?

I wish I could be as disconnected from the reality of whats happening around us as these people seem to be, genuinely envious.

I would have less anxiety, for a start.

Mmm butlerian jihad, it is calling me.

I consider if you’re typing words into a computer the CIA is reading it. Its a generally good idea to assume everything is already compromised.

They’re currently snarfing all the encrypted data to later decrypt it when the technology becomes possible, betting on quantum computing to break our current encryption technologies.

Its the only explanation I have for why AI needs disk storage. They’ve already indexed the internet, no?

Also, impressively, it ran like butter on a HTC ChaCha about 10 years after that phone was relevent, and was a joy to message on.

Discord is by far worse. 1bn in VC funding and all that Nitro and it still fucking sucks ass.

It also enables far more of the “discord moderator” stereotype user behaviour.

At least telegram runs on garbage and doesn’t require 4GB just for electron to sit in my system memory like a fat pigeon.
