The imminent AI vs SaaS war

Continuing on from yeterday’s piece about SaaS being replaced by AI agents, it occurred to me that far from accept this latest craze, perhaps serious people are going to want assurances that infrastructure is not built on AI, in order to be sure they aren’t being screwed by AI tricks. Think "No AI inside" labels.

AI agents are essentially propriety software, but less stable, and with less audit trails available. With AI agents under you, you're never guarentied to be in base reality. That might be exactly what you want in some situations, but in others it’s likely the exact opposite.

In a world over-run with man-in-the-middle AI tricksters, companies that provably run open source software will be seen as having the highest quality products. The best of the best, tripe A software.

Meta to add display to Ray-Bans as race over smart glasses intensifies - I still don’t understand how the UI on these glasses works. The article is confusing. Is it an actual small lcd screen or something projected onto the glasses? ft.com #

Elon Musk among billionaires set to donate to Reform UK, says treasurer - Funny picture, jacket makes it appear like he just rocked up in a Spitfire. This is bound to cause some leftist media heads to explode with rage. Seriously though, wouldn’t it be worse if he wasn’t interested in the UK? Hellooow, we need economic growth. It’s strange that leftists are totally fine with russian oligarchs, arab princes, and rich Chinese but US billionaires are totally off limits. theguardian.com #

French PM names new government, hoping to avoid another no-confidence vote - C'est le dream team francais! Nice photo. I feel like their image could be improved with a bit of workshoping. Interesting there‘s been a move towards the right, I wonder how much the US result influenced them. I guess it makes sense to follow suit in some way. theguardian.com #

New Post: The imminent AI vs SaaS war markjgsmith.com #

So much passive aggressive viciousness yesterday. That ontop of all the apauling plus infiniti minus infiniti harrassment that was already happening. I found a shop cafe in the afternoon that got nice and quiet right after lunch. It was a bit like finding an oasis given how much abuse I was being subjected to from every direction. It was really bad, like being attacked by a swarm of evil entities. Everywhere I went.

I think it’s likely I was rather shook up when I got there. Anyway, once umit quietened down I was able to listen to some relatively heady podcasts. The people around me all seemed like bookish peaceful types. Rather refreshing. Well don’t judge a book by it’s cover, because this lot were just as wound up as the everybody else. As I left they all hurled vile serpent like venom at me, words they had clearly been preparing the entire time we had all been sitting peacefully. It was like the opening scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark where he’s running away from the dark temple with thousands of arrows being shot at hime from every direction.

This morning is shaping up to be much the same. As I was writting the previous paragraph, and old lady stopped to harrass me using references to some of yesterday’s harassments. Literally pretending to peace while righteously passive aggressive waring.

Christmas tomorrow. Food hopefully before then. So much discusting food goading yesterday. At the minute it seems like it will be starvation for Christmas. #
