“Democracy in app creation!” declares Lomesh Dutta, vice president of growth at the Dfinity Foundation, with a flourish of his rhetorical quill. “Custom-tailored experiences, constantly updated by AI, shall liberate us from the chains of centralized servers!” One can almost hear the echoes of a Russian novel in his words, though perhaps with a touch more optimism than our dear Turgenev might allow. 🌟
