There are cases where collaboration is necessary, but it seems reasonable that for the rest, local applications should be mandated by companies.

My LibreOffice is still up, too!

When something goes wrong, albeit natural problems like weather, diversion, hijacking, mechanical problem with the airliners and pilots, it likely won't do the right thing because it cannot think its way through a problem, because AI cannot think. An airplane not like a self-driving car, you just pull over to the side of the road, and wait for things to get better. Also it could be hacked or go down like Microsoft, today.

Web-Apps and Cloud-Computing create areas, where a single problem keeps people from working. If they had used locally-installed apps, at least some of the work could get done. If your business also had a contingency plan, some of the pain could have been reduced, except on purely collaborated document.

Would ever would anyone trust Google?

It's going to take a lot more than a few little things to make people want to stop leaving an operating system that AI trains on your data--and utterly disobeys you.

I have left Windows for its privacy problems and AI aspirations. Apple could offer a safe shore apart from the prying, plagiarizing, infringing, stealing, violating world of AI.

Let's see, what can we do...Wait! A supersonic airliner that makes sonic booms. How about helping AI ruin the world. Sign us up!

You've had 2 years to expect the drones, and counting.

I wonder if you could spool that on a IBM 729?

People don't need to eat, have homes, or need medical aid. They can just retrain until we take their next job. We'll destroy everything to get what we want, because we are AI and Billionaires.

Storing data does not have the same power requirements as thousands of video cards. A single RTX 5090 uses 575W of power, and AI fills buildings with the commercial equivalent.

Everything you sent there for them to make, they copied.

Nope!

No, don't wait for some other fox to guard the henhouse, call your representative, tomorrow morning, and tell them you want guardrails on AI.
