VC: Still needing Vercel, Supabase and AWS proves AI has a long way to go

Investor Stewart Alsop reposts an argument that the surest sign AI still has far to go is how many developers assume they need Vercel, Supabase, Postgres, React, auth, frameworks and big-cloud stacks. Apart from NVIDIA, most of these dependencies are optional, the author argues, warning of a "lock-in fuckstorm on the horizon" and urging builders to go further toward independence.
