@cwebber We're just going to end up with a separate, air-gapped agent internet lmfao

@cwebber They can take your data and then take your business from you

[robertklaschka@mastodon.online]

@cwebber I thought you do an MBA to meet people you want to know. So a Vibe MBA would possibly be to meet people you don't want to know! Maybe even people who don't exist.

@cwebber They're in too deep, they're all AI investors who are scared that you're going to scare the other AI investors.

Its all FUD! Have fun being poor! This totally doesn't sound like crypto-hype from the last cycle! To the moon!

[faoluin@chitter.xyz]

@targrus @cwebber Same!!

[vv@solarpunk.moe]

@cwebber okay but the problem is folks who unknowingly get their data ingested by this system just for being a customer

[dvshkn@social.treehouse.systems]

@unlofl @cwebber I argued a lot that AI hype was more like cloud than crypto, until the moltbook thing. That really felt like the NFT moment. I'll eat my hat on that one.

@szczot3k @cwebber Another relevant (on theme of what could possibly go wrong if you give too much autonomy to an agent): 416

@brad @cwebber

In the end, we created a secure messaging platform for the movement, hidden in plain sight.

Corporate social media had long been slopped to the point of uselessness, nobody asked why you posted anything, because nobody was there to ask.
They liked and boosted and reshared the posts nonetheless.

We didn't need strong cryptography, or even custom software.
We just wrote what we thought and felt, but replaced "billionaires" with "competitors", "blow up" with "buyout", "revolution" with "investment" and so on.

They never saw it coming.

@cwebber you know MVA was sitting RIGHT THERE

[unlofl@mstdn.social]

@dvshkn @cwebber Its definitely more "real" than crypto, but I'd argue much less "real" than cloud computing.

Everyone always knew cloud infrastructure was worth something, it was the future of colocation and leasing servers. What no one was sure of was the adoption rate, or how much would be kept on-prem for various reasons.

AI is... well, it does SOMETHING, but what is it worth? When will it get good at what? For how many things is the answer "never?"

[cwebber@social.coop]

@vv Yeah that's true. The unfortunate thing is the "blast radius" of powerful using these tools. And with war, unfortunately, that can be quite literal

[dvshkn@social.treehouse.systems]

@unlofl @cwebber Not to get too into it, but there was a lot of promising that the cloud would automatically scale any application (lol). I found that pretty similar to the AI hype of all jobs are going away.

But this new wave of hype (and the spam, ugh) is very crypto-like, I'll admit.

[unlofl@mstdn.social]

@dvshkn @cwebber oh dang, missed that hype. I currently work balls-deep in piles of containers, but there is definitely no way in hell random existing applications were going to scale like that stateless stuff.

[queermatters@mstdn.social]

@cwebber what in the precious ever loving fuck make it stop

[cwebber@social.coop]

Look the "you don't need privacy if you've got nothing to hide" guy shows up https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47313376

Also hi even if that were somehow true (it isn't) do you know anything about credentials

[vlkr@social.tchncs.de]

@cwebber I think it's naive to even start with the assumption that there is an actor with good intentions behind this.

[eons@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@cwebber if you aren't doing anything bad, then you don't need to steal credentials (?
