Oh, here we go again! Another tech doomsday article where we're all apparently accomplices in the murder of the "open web" 🔪🌐. But don't worry, it's not AI's fault this time—it's much older than that, like, from the days when the internet was powered by hamsters on wheels 🐹💻.

The open web isn't dying. We're killing it

The open web is under pressure from AI companies and large platforms, but its troubles did not start with AI. We also chose convenience over control, and we will have to change that if we want a better web.

🚀 Oh look, another tech doomsday prophecy, this time involving AI and ads. 🤯 Apparently, #OpenAI is defying #economics with a mind-blowing $1.4 trillion in commitments—clearly, they're just dying for someone to buy them out. But don't worry, they definitely aren't running out of money...unless you're an NYT analyst. 😂💸

The A in AGI stands for Ads

Had to crunch the ad revenue projection numbers for OpenAI real quick, had enough of the fearmongering and nonsense takes. AGI... now funded by 5x60 second unskippable ads!
