The term "Anti-Personnel Computing" has sparked debate, with users expressing concern over its implications. Commenters suggest that rather than being akin to anti-personnel mines, these technologies (software and devices) can act against users' best interests while still appearing beneficial. Alternatives like "Faustian computing" or "user hostile" are proposed. The crux of the discussion lies in the idea that many systems exploit users' vulnerabilities, often driven by profit-maximization strategies. Cory Doctorow's concept of "enshittification" highlights how services can deteriorate over time, becoming counterproductive. There's a realization that decentralized, non-profit alternatives remain underrepresented in the market. Some argue for more accurate analogies to describe the evolving landscape of user-hostile technologies.
