The delusion of tech companies inventing magical fairy dust things has also created very silly economic expectations of ludicrous growth that just seems to me to be indicative of an industry in an _early stages_ of its emergence.

Yes a very low marginal cost/kinda easily scalable business, but a business JUST LIKE ANY OTHER.

And now we're saturated.

So the market has to invent the next magical 'free growth' trick, hence buying into this 'AI' shit.

@ljs This is 2nd coming of AI BTW :-) First coming was based on uneducated human labor in masses in the early 00's. It played well then...

@jarkko no, that's just untrue, as this 'round' is just a scam.

@ljs Those uneducated people became educated and smart so you need to pay them. And thus we just now have a new generation of crap.

@ljs Yeah, I wanted to add this because my point was not to say that they were stupid or "lower". Smart people that the system was exploiting, that is what I wanted to say :-)
