2005: "Why would I run my workloads in the cloud? I have 400 certifications!"

There is still, to this very day, not a good reason for most businesses to run their workloads in the cloud (startups being a notable exception). So, your argument isn't as compelling as you think.

we’re on hacker news

those types of businesses are probably old and legacy and unless they’re finance or healthcare i don’t really care for them if i’m honest

Try reading the article next time.

It’s kind of a pointless article. Also framed wrong. Generative AI doesn’t “stand for” anything. It’s just a cool technology. Author’s time would be better spent criticizing big tech perhaps.

Actively detaching yourself from the problems of a technology doesn't suddenly make it a pointless exercise. It just puts into question whether you have any moral compass whatsoever.

I generally try not to be outright dismissive of articles/blogposts, but I don't see a ton of value in reading about someone being against opening Pandora's Box after the box has been opened. It can never be shut and we are going to have to figure out how to live with the consequences of it.

I gave the article a chance regardless and it's nothing I've not read before.

Indoor smoking in restaurants used to be legal, we made it illegal. Slavery used to be legal, we made it illegal. Don’t say that it’s not possible to stop bad things that are already happening.
