If the responsibility is being shelled out to "the algorithm", then doesn't that mean they have less responsibility? Shouldn't they be paid less if they have less responsibility?

Something tells me they won't see the logic in that though.

I totally agree, and I never understood how adding a parasitic middle-man is supposed to make things cheaper.

"without it, we would have to pay out of pocket for ad supported services!"

Actually, I don't think we would for a lot of things. The internet existed long before it was advertising funded. Web-pages used to be things that people made because they were passionate about what they put on those pages. Advertising only came later.

Hell, there are still plenty of things that people build and maintain because they like it, not because they make money from it. How many people work for free on things like Wikipedia, FOSS, Fediverse, etc. just because they want to see it succeed?

Selfhosting Sunday - What's up?

I have a self-hosted AI system that works pretty well. I can interact with it via my phone, the shell, my IRC server, and I can verbally talk to it.

But I want to get it to remember things, so I need to start working on RAG or something. Eventually I'd like to be able to have it draft emails for me, and schedule appointments.
