  • 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.

  • A lot of young men frustrated with the lack of community, the fleeting chance of making good money, buying a home, etc. are looking for something/someone to blame. Misogyny and xenophobia are easy escape hatches for difficult times.

  • This is just the beginning. Trump's idiotic belief that America's hegemony will push countries to cave when in reality we've been a dying empire for the last 30-40 years. We just didn't know it. And Trump basically accelerated the decline.

  • Just to add the difference. Managed solutions typically has the consulting firm managing the maintenance. In some cases, they take over an existing solution vs the consulting company building something.

  • I'm in IT consulting. I have personally done some really cool shit for my clients. Things they didn't have the talent to do themselves. Business management consulting and tax audit consulting is a completely different story. I don't help automate away jobs. I'm not presenting decks to strip companies and governments for parts. Needless to say, not all consulting is created equally and my hope is that there comes a time where this bubble bursts this push for AI dies on the vine.
