Re:WIll we see SaaAS: Software as an AI Service? on Wednesday March 04, 2026 @03:52PM (#47253618)
LLMs are limited by their interface which is usually chat/api. Once a web layer is placed in front of it LLM's can replace software entirely.

The question isn't when will software developers be replaced, but when will software be replaced? 18 months ago the models were dismissed as not good enough for complex development, today they are competently producing code.

If OpenAI/Anthropic integrate web end points into the LLM, introduce optimised models, internal data storage and pipelines, anyone could point their domain to an endpoint and serve up apps.

We've launched a search engine that raises money for charity partners involved in animal welfare, ocean conservation, reforestation, and climate action policy.

Help animals and the planet by searching and surfing the web.

This month's partner is World Animal Protection.

Chrome/Brave and Firefox extensions available.

Feedback welcome!

I post nothing to it anymore, and I keep every privacy setting locked down sharing nothing with anyone.

I use it to passively see what old school friends are up to around the world and occasionally use it connect with them to meet up when we are in the same neck of the woods.

Yes, a case of lets annoy you to death with overlays so you give up and click accept every time.

If you're going to have green power generators you should have green power storage.

Cool. It looked like a good idea and I'm glad it's usable in practice. We need more innovations like this in society.

I'm all for it but this really needs proactive changes from legislation. EU has made a start with GDPR other jurisdictions need to follow suit and take it further.
