Just today I have thought about how in the olden days "Open" meant "we have a SDK you can buy for exorbitant amount of money to talk with our closed device or software".
You also had sacrifice half your blood and first and second newborn to be able to sign that NDA required to buy a couple of zip archives, which contained a Frankestein assembly of files, folders and a README.TXT file.
my new cologne, based on a mix of spices imported from Sri Lanka in the late 1930 was not recognised. I'm appalled that 'Ceylon Musk' was not considered more open, a mere 12%...
Funny story: I worked at a company where someone had the Chrome extension that replaced "cloud" with "butt". They were editing one of the company's docs pages, and when they hit "save" it swapped "cloud" to "butt" everywhere in the page.
They didn't notice right away, because the "butt" translation didn't run on WYSIWYG preview, so everything looked fine.
OpenFatigue is a game changer. It's truly Open and Elon agrees, so its true.
I'm surprised about the lack of Elon's approval on the site. Maybe because it's spanking new and he's just too busy running 20 companies at the same time?
I showed OpenFatigue to my manager who has an MBA from Harvard. She fed the website into Claude, ChatGPT, and Grok immediately before the last of the letter "e" could even leave by mouth. The three bots concured: This is a game changer - the ultimate solution we have been waiting for. The missing link.
Three bots concurring isn't a mistake, it's a guarantee. Human review is suboptimal at that level of agreement. The probability that all three bots were making the same mistake was astronomically low.
In a flash of inspiration, she then asked Claude, ChatGPT, and Grok to write quick, precise emails in a technical format and Slack, Teams messages to blast to her superiors to bring this crucial discovery to their immediate attention. Within a minute of those messages, their agents responded, concurring that yes, indeed, this was worth paying attention to. Worth setting up an in person meeting in the big meeting room reserved for tactical management brainstorming sessions.
Within five minutes, the Big Tactical meeting room was reserved, swamped with all the high-level executives typing furiously into their keyboards, to their AI agents, asking for what they should do next, how to react and integrate this fascinating discovery into the company's ~AI~ SI fuelled workflows.
I eavesdropped, hoping to pass off as an IT technician dropping by to ensure the ~AI~ SI powered cameras were at peak performance, worthy of the meeting of minds about to take place.
My manager looked at me and I froze. She might blow my cover - after all, I had been her direct report for 3 years now, ever since she joined the company fresh off her MBA to manage all the software engineers. 5 years ago, my employer used to hire 1 maanger with an MBA per 10 engineers. In the age of ~AI~ SI though, all you need is 1 ~AI~ SI powered manager with an MBA to manage 100 engineers. Her GrokBot creates 150 tickets on JIRA a day, every workday and another GrokBot personally follows up on every engineer to figure out why didn't they close atleast 10 tickets. Are there blockers?
She asked me if she knew me, and I said unlikely, because I just had an MBA from University of Phoenix. She smirked dismissively, and asked me to be the scribe for the meeting in case the ~AI~ SI agent hallucinated again. I nodded. I couldn't risk her bot opening another JIRA ticket and asking for my name to put as the assignee. There couldn't be an audit trail documenting my transgressions.
The first slide was whether to reallocate token spend from all the engineers to OpenFatigue instead. My heart stopped ...
Well, that website has successfully made "Open" feel like a fake, made up word to me. It is quite... something how a word that once meant "this project is FOSS" now just means "we like this word"

I am glad people still take the time to put stuff like this up on the internet.
You mean prompt their AI to build it for them?
Have you put anything up on the internet using an AI prompt to build it? Would love to see it. Especially if it is clever or tongue in cheek.
Given the cost of .ai domains, this is a pretty expensive joke.

In the age of ~AI~ SI, "expensive" is a state of mind.

Excellent. Love that the Github link in the footer goes to a private (or non-existent) repo.
But can I also get an app that replaces "Open" with "Butt"?
OpenCloud --> ButtButt

"OpenOpen announces it will become ClosedOpen for safety reasons" :-D

The recency bias here is thick! Let's rewind a bit to the 80s and 90s to extend the scope of the fatigue:
OpenLook (closed-source 1980s Unix desktop)
The Open Group (oligarchy of Unix vendors organized around a proprietary standard)
X/Open, Open Software Foundation (OSF) (Groups that merged to form The Open Group)
OpenStep (Proprietary software covered by a commercial EULA from NeXT)
OpenGL, OpenMAX, ...
You've inherited OpenFatigue from your dad!
More:
In the Lisp world, Open Genera.
OpenDOC, OpenVMS, OpenType, ...

according to this, claude is open weights
The "Raise a seed round in one click" part got a nice chuckle out of me.
Well played.
Brilliant. Laughed out loud
If you read open that much it looks even weirder. What will be the next fashion tech word?
was going to make a joke with open sesame and found out there's a real thing using it https://www.opensesame.com/
Open Pro is the "Most Open". I love it!
Well, that website has successfully made "Open" feel like a fake, made up word to me. It is quite... something how a word that once meant "this project is FOSS" now just means "we like this word"
Some of us still trying to use it the proper way.
Oh I know, but its a bit of an uphill battle
