Isn't that why most people are on GitHub in the first place ? Which then, Windows style eventually turns into people wanting to use GitHub also for company work, where the real money comes from for GitHub.

Without free CI in GitHub, you might as well say:

"they can just shut the whole thing down and this reliability issue will be solved immediately"

I'm sure there is a good meme to use for such a frequently occurring problem, but it would be too over used by this point.

If there is a villain in Mononoke, it is the unseen Emperor, living in luxury somewhere in Asuka, drinking tea and seeing other people as simple Shogi figures.

It is the emperor that wants immortality and triggers the chain of events that get the main forest god killed & cause a lot of destruction. And in the end - he is still unaffected, while Eboshi & co have to rebuild all of their infrastructure almost from zero... :P

You can scratch Cisco from the list - they just announced they will re-vibecode all of their codebase! So there will not be any explots for their hardware in the future - one way or the other. ;-)

Commercial service trying to sell you the result of scrapping all the data from the Internet without permission of the authors.

Clear case of AI psychosis.

Seems like preparing who to blame if/once the effort fails. ;-)

I guess Cisco decided it has not alienated its customers enough till now & its finally time to get people running for the woods - at least if those peoples would like their network to continue working.

So we are going from running your stuff from cloud that randomly closes accounts or charges ridiculous costs to pinpointing arbitrary AI use cases and banning them on a whim. I guess that's progress !?

Indeed, cloud == other peoples computers, with all what it entails.

You also miss appointments and are late if you are dead due to a train crash.

Yeah & as I have said before - I'd rather fix my printer every 5 prints and/or have worse print quality, than to use a printer I can't fix & can't use generic material of my choice on.

But what if you become unable to pay for it ? What if:

- they raise the prices 10x

- go bankrupt

- ban you or your country

- decide not to help you with what you want to do for opaque reasons

- you are in jail because the model halucinated something and the company promptly reported you to the police

Better avoid all off these and go local IMHO.

At least back then they could have avoided being bombed by not participating in a genocide. But they did & got bombed.
