So it *IS* possible to crawl up your own ass so far you come out the other side.

Huh.

No, I didn't make it up. It's a real thing. A real stupid thing.

Every AI project, at its core, hates humans. Every single one.

Say what you want about the first couple generations of the web, but it treated humans and the human experience as important and valuable.

Every tech project now is like, "yeah, but what if we could do that without people?"

@fraying I mean listen, so many companies already β€œdo UX” without users that this feels like it’s just a big grift (it is)

@fraying is it as simple as figuring out how to make a tech work, then (typically: others) figuring out how to make a business with it ?

Like: early autos solving tractor then transport problems versus 50s onward auto industry chasing market share

Growing The Business through
little innovations around mechanism(s) that solved big old problem(s)

@fraying i predict that tech projects will reach a plateau of current tech used to train AIs. The "AI" generated code will feed back into its own training, producing nothing more than redundancy, without any progress. The same problem can happen with every tool using an machine trained generator.
