The chaos gremlin inside me wants it to be merged so that Node.js crashes a chunk of the Internet and it'll be like another left pad incident.

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.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I already have a personal policy of not using any tool written in Node.js unless absolutely necessary. I don't want that behemoth on my system, nor the supply-chain attack surface its package ecosystem brings with it.
If I see a project that looks neat, but is done with Node.js, I immediately look for alternative implementations in other languages. Yeah I'm a snob but so far it's worked out well.
Exploits comes in many forms and shapes. When the computer came, groups of people resisted it, same when internet came, people resisted it. Your kind will always exist, and you share one common thing. You will become obselete sooner than later.
I bet you have some applications operated by the big corps, you already sold your sole. At least AI can be open source, which meta, alpha, microsoft and similar shit will never, so know one thing, they've already exploited you and the likes.
