That’s the standard tricky wing operating procedure: “Everything we do is morally good, therefore we can do no wrong” and that leads to the classic “rules for thee but not for me”. It hurts any logical brain.

There aren’t much countries where the population is actually growing, and where there is still growth, it won’t be for much longer. Governments are increasingly panicking over depopulation. Babies are future workers and customers after all. They tried immigration, but that runs into popular backlash.

They’ll expect that and in lot of cases fail, while China, India en EU will try buy everything for cents on the dollar. Then USA starts to lose its dominant position in digital services, what’s now a big part of the export. Or the government can panic and nationalize the whole sector. It’s not sure how things turn out, but it’ll be a weird time.

Studies show AI coding tools make the task slower. It only makes people feel they’re faster, but reality is different. So it’s the snake oil pitch. Nobody can know it doesn’t really work and they keep throwing money at it in an increasingly more desperate “fake it till you make it”. Because, if this thing implodes, it’ll take a large part of the market and economy with it to do a rerun of the 2008 financial crisis.

Even more fun, the stock market is propped up by Nvidia and AI companies buying their chips. If AI crashes, it’s a new financial crisis.
- Comment on Big tech has spent $155 billion on AI this year. It’s about to spend hundreds of billions more 4 days ago:
They remember it too. It’s why they try to keep the bubble going by jumping to the next shiny investor lure. Just a few years it was all Blockchain and NFT. One guess is that they’ll go for humanoid robots next.

- Comment on Welcome to the new world of risk: Microsoft cuts off services to energy company without notice 1 week ago:
Because managers really like giving contracts to those giving a presentation in an exotic resort and have a great service agreement so all blame for mishaps can be shifted away from their career.
- Comment on Hertz' AI System That Scans for "Damage" on Rental Cars Is Turning Into an Epic Disaster 1 week ago:
The word used for that strategy is usually “enshittification”. It happens a lot after digital tech is introduced in a new sector.

And if you open an new chat and ask from the perspective of the wife, chatGPT will totally agree with her. People can be shocked by that suddenly “betrayal and switching sides”, but these days this peace of technology has become a billion dollar cheerleader.
- Comment on OpenAI Is Giving Exactly the Same Copy-Pasted Response Every Time Time ChatGPT Is Linked to a Mental Health Crisis 1 week ago:
Reminds me of the time that Twitter, when it was still Twitter and freshly taken over by Musk, replied to all slightly critical questions with a poop emoji.

- Comment on Smart option 2 weeks ago:
You’re living in a world where people want the quarter pounder over the third-pound-burger because 4 is bigger than 3. Math isn’t people’s strong point.
- Comment on Apple sues YouTuber who leaked iOS 26’s new “Liquid Glass” software redesign 2 weeks ago:
I’ve set my Android to the Glass icon pack. It kinda looks okay if the background is very blurry and featureless. Try setting a busy vacation pick as backdrop and you won’t find any of your apps again unless you set the icons to a size normally reserved for the visual impaired.
- Comment on Ex-Google CEO: Power Grid Crisis Could Kill AI's Next Big Leap 2 weeks ago:
It’s a crisis because they want somebody else to pay for it, especially if the AI bubble would pop and all that infrastructure left would stay there responsibility and sunk cost.
- Comment on Why Americans Can’t Buy the World’s Best Electric Car 4 weeks ago:
Big corporations know very well how competition works and would like to avoid it at all costs.

- Comment on Companies That Tried to Save Money With AI Are Now Spending a Fortune Hiring People to Fix Its Mistakes 4 weeks ago:
Management doesn’t ask people they want to fire is firing them is a good idea. They themselves would lie like crazy to keep their job and assume therefore everything the developers say would be a lie too.
- Comment on Companies That Tried to Save Money With AI Are Now Spending a Fortune Hiring People to Fix Its Mistakes 4 weeks ago:
So some places started forcing developers to use AI with a quota and monitor the usage. Of course the devs don’t go checking each AI generated line for correctness. That’s bad for the quota. It’s guaranteed to add more slop to the codebase.

- Comment on AI Utopia, AI Apocalypse, and AI Reality: If we can’t build an equitable, sustainable society on our own, it’s pointless to hope that a machine that can’t think straight will do it for us. 4 weeks ago:
Every type of AI that was ever made had people saying that this is the one that’ll bring is general intelligence. It’s just a matter of scaling it up further, the hype crashed and there was an AI winter. Now LLM have their own problems scaling up and nothing really indicating it’s anywhere near general intelligence. There isn’t much more data to train them on. And so far, not enough people willing to pay for it. Definitely bubble territory.
