Gabriele SveltoWe're all wondering when this bubble will burst, but what if it already has? The flash of a distant explosion might not look like much, but only until the shockwave reaches you
Aubrey De Los Destinos@gabrielesvelto @oaj Music to my ears.
mike805@AubreyDeLosDestinos @gabrielesvelto @oaj Looking forward to the SaaS age ending. I use mostly local software, but still.
Although AI as a service is not an improvement.
@AubreyDeLosDestinos @gabrielesvelto @oaj The One Weird Trick is if you can just ask the AI to do the work rather than have to pay for expensive purpose built software.
If so, the cost of AI will drop rapidly and the extreme costs that SaaS vendors can charge will end.
SaaS was the biggest IT scam since printer cartridges and punched cards. It needs to end.
@AubreyDeLosDestinos @gabrielesvelto @oaj The anti-SaaS argument: if you were a lawyer in the old days, where your output to the client was printed documents, then you could use WP 5.1 forever if you liked it. You never had to pay again. You got a PC tech to copy it to the new PC if the old one broke.
If you were a graphic or CAD artist you could use the same Adobe or AutoCAD for years.
The idea that you have to pay one vendor a monthly fee to practice your trade is new, evil, and must end.
