Poly’s AI File Storage – Because Apparently We Needed Another Bloody Cloud Startup

So, those loveable nutjobs at Y Combinator have backed yet another bunch of digital geniuses who think reinventing the damn wheel is innovation. Poly, the former 3D asset thingamajig, has decided to reboot itself as a “cloud-hosted file storage with AI search.” Yes, because nothing says “progress” like throwing “AI” into your name and pretending Google Drive and Dropbox don’t already exist.

Now, Poly promises to make your files searchable using its fancy-ass artificial intelligence, supposedly so you don’t have to remember where you saved that spreadsheet from 2017 or that presentation you didn’t finish because Steve from marketing requested “just one more revision.” Great! Another magic robot that’ll peek into our damned files and “help” us organize them. Trust me, the only AI search I need is called “CTRL+F,” and it hasn’t failed me yet.

They’ve apparently “streamlined workflows,” “automated metadata,” and “supercharged collaboration.” Translation? They made a file folder that nags you back. YC throws money, some tech bros pat themselves on the back for solving the age-old “where the fuck did I save that file” problem, and the rest of us get one more piece of software demanding access to everything on our machine. Lovely.

So yeah, Poly’s back — now with buzzwords, more cloud crap, and AI fairy dust sprinkled on top. File storage, but this time it’s “intelligent.” Because when your computer starts judging your naming conventions, that’s clearly progress.

Reminds me of that time some intern asked me why the server room was “so loud.” I said it’s because that’s the sound of your files crying after you dumped them into yet another “AI-powered” black hole.
