It wasn't clear that outsourcing a bunch of infrastructure to the cloud was economically effective, but here we are.
AI is inevitable, for better (open, transparent, self-hostable) or worse (closed, opaque, cloud-only).
- rockskon 1y agoI can't take arguments like this seriously. "Something else was successful so AI will be successful!!!!1!"
- BLKNSLVR 1y agoThe vibrations of the hype train of AI feel like a similar frequency to those of the cloud hype train. Once hype train vibrations reach a certain frequency, the topic they represent become inevitable. Purely subjective of course, my vibration frequency sensitivity is not your vibration frequency sensitivity. I would say that it feels as if AI is being 'pushed' far more than cloud was. Cloud services were made available, and companies took them up. AI uptake has a pressure behind it from the big players.
