THE_DEATH_OF_THE_USER_INTERFACE.md markdown This is an insane level of agentic llm use, the author claims to not even use his filesystem anymore, its too cumbersome to find where downloads and documents are and way too easy to ask an agent to move all pdf’s from downloads to documents. This scares me on multiple levels, theres the epidemic of ai datacenters and ai companies burning cash, burning through gpu’s and api calls to a giant data center just to move files sounds absolutely insane to me.

The rest of the real creators left on there are stuck trying to keep up, echo viral trends, trying to keep up the content treadmill. A few come through, but most feel somewhat forced.

I mean real, surprising, meaningful discovery. Search is brok… Candid and colorful thoughts on enterprise readiness · simplecto.com The hype bro influencer culture is over, we are fucking burnt the fuck out. I’m done scrolling through ai slop on social media, I like in a few times a week with hopes to see some friends at the top of my feed and jump out.

I hope that the internet becomes more human again.
