It’s always porn that decides if a technology lives or dies.
Comment on Big tech has spent $155 billion on AI this year. It’s about to spend hundreds of billions more

Just a few hundred billion more and I’m sure that somebody will figure out a profitable use for AI that isn’t scamming old people.

I can imagine one - maintaining adversarial interop with proprietary systems. Like a self-adjusting connector for Facebook for some multi-protocol chat client. Or if there’s going to be a Usenet-like system with global identities of users and posts, a mapping of Facebook to that. Siloed services don’t expose identifiers and are not indexed, but that’s with our current possibilities. People do use them and do know with whom they are interacting, so it’s possible to make an AI-assisted scraper that would expose Facebook like a newsgroup to that.
Ah. Profitable. I dunno.

I’m more about separation of addressing data and data model from addressing services and service model for storing and processing it, to make those uniform, because in uniformity lies efficiency and redundancy and ability to switch service models, and uniformity inside proprietary services is already achieved, so in this case uniformity works for the people.
I mean, that’s probably what you meant, I’m being this specific to fight my own distractions and fuzziness of thought.
