• "The web" is an open protocol aimed for interoperability
• "The AI" is a bunch of competing, mostly closed and private services

That will be interesting to see how this difference impacts the bubble explosion.

Those "bozos" are desperate to capitalize on thin air, and fintech tells them to go ahead:

AI cannot be managed with outdated cost models. Business leaders should treat AI economics with the same rigor as energy or capital allocation, recognizing tokens as the new currency

Wait, it could actually be a great opportunity mein Führer... i mean Mr. President. https://youtu.be/zZct-itCwPE

AI is perfect for fueling a financial boom: great narrative, incredible promises in short and long term, huge needs and potential, and high risk that it will go terribly wrong. Bankers love that and can create unlimited credit to fuel the fire. But since they constantly create new gambling products, one can also bet that it's not fueled enough and is about to crash. Total schizophrenia.

What sounded like impossible in absurdity few years ago seems to be today's norm. Is that a competition of apocalyptic claims, a new religion? Actually these guys keep on trying to convince themselves and others in order to inflate the bubble till the end. It seems to be like coke, they're so high on the power it gives them.

Recommend Veracrypt.

Or Luks which is well integrated with Linux. Are there significant advantages with Veracrypt?

3? I understand it's a start, but it's not so impressive.

I'm more interested in actual user feedback because a product like that is quite an ambitious use case and advertised as ready to use with tons of features.

Rent isn't theft. It's payment for a service

Sure there's a service and the owner has costs, but it's actually quite unrelated to the rental price in most places. I think the question is about the regulation of markets for basic life requirements. Alternatives aren't very appealing IMHO: social aids (taxes on the rich), charity (by the rich), or persistent homelessness.

Who actually tried this?

Open source is not only about publishing code: it's about quality, verifiable, reproducible code at work. If LLMs can't do that, those "vibe coding" projects will hit a hard wall. Still, it's quite clear they badly impact the FOSS ecosystem.

Techbros got a bit too excited with Moore's law: they want everything they touch to grow exponentially. Specially money.
