@parismarx@mastodon.online was just on Ed Zitron's show reminding us that the emergence of AWS and friends was necessary to create generative AI. Fuck. Right. Of course. I knew that, but I hadn't really thought through the implication. We need to kill AI, of course. But if we kill AI and fail to kill AWS and the like, then AWS will just spawn more nightmares like AI. Wait, no. Expect that the next AWS-created nightmare will be 10x worse than AI. Kill AI *and* "the cloud".
