Since everything is software based, virtually all of it is proprietary, and requires updates; I’m now bearish on any technology that relies on companies continuing to operate and update their software.

Everything is so shitty that even miraculous tech like this could break down when a company goes under or decides to stop making software updates on a whim. I don’t think I’ve read a single dystopian scifi book that imagined corporate control of every minor/major innovation with paywalls and subscriptions that ultimately lead to the enshittification of every facet of our lives. It feels so much worse than we could have imagined.
