It's genuinely impressive how the whole ecosystem of proprietary software is speedrunning enshittification at an unprecedented rate. The net is tightening, and the only escape is FOSS.
My conspiracy theory is that AI is already running our tech companies, and that’s why everyone and their brother is pushing hard for AI integration, despite everyone knowing AI is nowhere near ready for public consumption.
CEO's are almost universally out of touch with reality, and usually chase trends thinking it will help them get higher profits and garner more investment. AI is just the newest bandwagon for them to mindlessly jump on.
