    I don’t hate AI, I kinda like it and I do think it will redefine computing in the future.

    I hate the people behind it, and who are pushing it. I hate the hype, I hate the pressure, I hate how dangerous it is without guardrails, I hate the stupidity of people using it, and getting addicted to it because it’s an ego stoking machine. I hate the entire industry around it.

    But I really enjoy using and learning about it in my own sandbox. I use a number of local LLMs successfully for research and learning. But I don’t trust them, at all, I think of them as an egotistical knowitall who has no problem lying to make themselves feel smart. There’s tons of useful info to get from them, but you have to understand what you are dealing with.

    I’m very curious what the future looks like. It really depends on us though. Critical thinking and being observant are the new critical skills for success in the he future. Unfortunately neither are particularly common these days so I have a feeling I will continue to hate for a while now…




  • My legit question is then, is the impact on the average temperature by reducing the visible trails greater or less than the impact of adding the emissions from the extra fuel spent.

    My gut tells me no, those number seem small, but small numbers often lie, and impacts to the chemical makeup of the atmosphere is an ongoing change whereas a trail of condensation is a short lived phenomenon.

    This is not an argument either way, it seems like a legitimate question to me. It’s also not the question that “chemtrails” conspiracy theorists would ask.







  • Yeah, it’s a huge disaster waiting to happen. I am playing with it because it is some interesting learning but completely sandboxed, using a local LLM, and I have given it no personal information. It’s really cool to see it work, to watch the communication between it and the LLM.

    But seriously, I’d never, ever attempt playing with it without my decades of infrastructure experience. I’d never give it public access nor any personal information. Still, I am encouraged that it’s functional enough in an entirely self hosted stack to be able to learn and play. I still think the future of AI should be local and openclaw, despite its fundamental issues is the first time I’ve played with AI and could conceive a future use case.

    In the end, I think the bubble will pop, I just hope the other side has something of value to come out of all this insanity. As brick stupid as openclaw is, it’s at least enough of a proof of concept to keep a sliver of hope that there may be.
