alt Hacker NewsBut who said anything about AI? Lots of local-first apps have nor need any AI whatsoever. And by the way, Topaz Labs has good offerings for editing photos and videos with AI that run locally, works great for many use cases (although it's not fully generative like Veo etc, more like upscaling and denoising, which does use generative AI but not like the former).

I suspect that most content will be generated in the future and that generation will dominate the creative fields, white collar work, and most internet usage.
If that's true, it's a substantial upset to the old paradigms of data and computing.

Most cloud apps have no need for AI either, but companies are pushing it anyway for bullshit marketing reasons, similar to what they did with blockchain a decade ago.
