I wonder what happened to the developers as a community, these repos have more stars than many good open source projects out there.
It’s like if they became a bunch of addicted AI people and every new repo is a different drug dealer selling more of the same, and they all fall for it.
That looks like people or bots doing circle jerking the last half of the year.
meh, it was cryptocurrency and blockchain snake-oil before it was AI snake-oil
it might have been good before cryptocurrency, i sadly can’t remember
I know right? My feed used to be really cool now it’s just “Oobinga: Combine Badoinka and Ubunga to supercharge your AI Agent. Generate with Budungo. Compatible with Odoinka Magnum 5 and Hudungu Amaze 3.3”
Oobinga is so overrated… Archunga, btw
“zero-human companies” sounds so sad and dystopian, I have no idea why they think it’s a good promo
We already have that:
MicrosoftEdit: MicroslopTech bros are salivating at the idea. The generation of tech bros that brought us the “disruption” of taxis and hotels, by not hiring staff but instead paying gig workers horribly, now found a way to also let go all other office staff.
I can’t tell if they haven’t thought through what that would mean for them themselves, or they know it’s BS but it’s still good for marketing.
Tech bros have been moving fast and breaking things since forever. AI just needs to be kinda OK at doing HR and accounting and other boring useless company jobs. If something goes wrong, it’s just the VC money that’s at stake. And the solution is more AI and more VC money.
and they named it paperclip, like the game where an IA that produce paperclip erase every life on earth and expand to the universe to continue to growth
It also makes me think of Operation Paperclip, like the one where the USA hired a tonne of Nazi scientists after WW2
I know this is just some shitty marketing phrase, but I don’t think that would even work, legally. AIUI, to be a company (ie, a limited company) requires being registered with human directors, as they check you’re not banned from being one.
Legally in which of the 190+ countries?
No call to be facetious. It’s true for most western countries, and possibly more globally - these things tend to follow certain rules of legal and financial logic.
What I meant probably didn’t carry over through text well. I was being very literal because you were very literal – to show the problem with that.
Yes, obviously you didn’t mean it would actually be illegal in all countries that exist. My point is that the “zero-humans” naming also doesn’t actually mean zero humans. There is someone controlling whatever that project is.
