AI doesn't have a mind to do mental leaps, it only knows syntax. Just a form of syntax so, so advanced that it sometimes accidentally gets things factually correct. Sometimes.
Absolutely! Running local LLMs is way more exciting than something I need to figure out an API and billing for. Tedious corporate bullshit? No thank you. A robot that I have trained to enthusiastically denounce capitalism? That's more like it!
I think this is really the best answer. The future is decentralisation, to me. Stuff like meshtastic could take the best parts of the internet and make it local and community owned.
In fact, I think there are a bunch of things you can get for free which to me represent the future. Linux, Lemmy, FOSS in general. Physical technology is only a small part of the puzzle nowadays.
If we ever see AR or implants overtake touch screens (unlikely imo because typing in AR fucking sucks) then I hope flips come back just for the talking part.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
