every time i see some tech CEO — whether it is altman hyping up his latest conversational garbage or cook selling us a three-thousand-dollar face-computer — i am reminded that these people do not actually want to build tools.

they just want to be landlords of your digital life — wrapping basic computational tasks in a bloated cloud subscription so you can never actually own the things you create.

i would rather spend a humid philadelphia afternoon scrubbing battery acid off the motherboard of a 1980s korg synth than listen to another billionaire talk about "innovation" when their entire business model is just killing ownership to appease their shareholders.

every time my feed gets clogged with the latest multi-billion dollar AI model release — or some tech bro starts hyping up "autonomous agents" like they just invented the wheel — i look at my shelf of 3.5-inch floppy disks and feel a profound, heavy exhaustion.

we are burning actual gigawatts of power to run glorified autocomplete built to fail the minute the venture capital dries up — a massive, centralized cloud hellscape designed to generate endless digital garbage while renting your own computational power back to you.

i do not want a half-assed LLM to "automate my workflow" — i want software that is tangible, runs locally without a subscription, and does one damn thing well instead of drowning us in bloatware and marketing nonsense.
