A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I'm currently trying to exit Gmail with all my emails if possible. However many comments are about why I shouldn't host my own server. So it got me thinking that there should be a new kind of email system not based on all the previous crud from the before times that we still use today.

And indeed, it looks like AI will be the driving force that ends email just like spam did the telephone. Sure the telephone is still around but no one uses teleconferencing anymore for example. We use teams and zoom and such other shitty pay services. So the pool is prime to reinvent email. The users may not see a big difference maybe, but the tech behind it may hopefully be simplified and decentralized as it was meant to be.

I doubt this one too.

Nah, these kids are fine. But email and Usenet need to exist, even if they're distasteful to the kit-monger devs. If their attitude is "email is dead", they're just elitists.
