Desktop computing is being killed off. So is self-hosting.

LLMs being used to wow greedy yuppie capitalists into buying in so they can replace all workers and get huge returns next quarter for eliminating the companies most expensive cost center: people. “The buildout must be intense! We can’t get beaten by the Chinese!! Quick, order the entire output of the world’s computer components”

Now suddenly you can’t buy them. Do you think that’s an accident? Do you think they just naively did that? These guys who built these startups and these tools? These guys who figured out how to extract billions of dollars in personal wealth from the US economy - you think they didn’t know they were taking computers away from us?

Desktop computing is fucking dead my friend, unless they fail. But it’s looking less and less like anyone will or even can stop them.
