I also think this is misreading the situation, because the point is that tech imagines that they can do a second round of disruption and unlock that initial growth again if they just invest enough. It’s exactly like a midlife crisis, it’s a push to turn back the clock and be young and fresh again.
Imagine if they just subsidized newspapers and magazines the way they’re subsidizing this slop
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
