we joke that when the AI bubble pops and the managers can't afford the chatbot any more, the surviving companies will hire the people who know how shit works to clean up

but this is of course optimistic. observed behaviour is that they will instead do the stupidest and shortest-term thing they can do instead of ever doing it properly.

so what do you envision this might be?

for clarity, i think when the AI bubble pops, which I place as some time next year at the latest - and you can hear the screeching noises in 2026 - the current recession signs will turn into a full Great Depression 2, so those surviving companies will also be doing not so great

Everyone knows about ragequitting, it gets all the press- but I think the mehquit is more prevalent. One day you just look at an issue, and say "meh, fuckit" and leave it behind.

Any of my fellow Lorax have experience using FortiPhite or similar phosphites (not phosphates) for strengthening trees? Specifically thinking about aiding drought tolerance, for which Fortiphite has been recommended.

BREAKING: #Canonical says it's going all in on #AI in #Ubuntu #Linux -- time to look for alternatives

They wrote a long post explaining their reasoning and plans. Lots and lots of words. Perhaps written by an AI. I wonder.

Still AI Slop.
