@w3c@w3c.social @hdv@front-end.social nobody wants agentic web. Nobody wants fucking ai. It doesnt work, its stolen info, its unsustainable, etc etc etc. There is no version of it we will accept, and Ive been in tech for over 30 years. Ive already come to the conclusion ill abandon this entire career and become adversarial to all infrastructure infected with it, and I have the skills to put my money where my mouth is. Fuck all of this.
