    Tell us what we’re supposed to be excited about?

    If you’re a white-collar worker, it’s either a bludgeon your boss is using to threaten to sack you, or an excuse as to why you should generate 5x more output without any more pay.

    If you’re a media consumer, it’s a fountain of endless low-quality crap. Resources you used to be able to trust are being undermined.

    These might be exciting if you’re a sociopathic billionaire or wannabe-billionaire, but for the rest of use, the closest to a positive payout we have is a bunch of gacha machines that can produce mediocre graphics/music/text shaped things which might dovetail with what you’re doing, until their economic unviability causes them to go out. (I think consumer video gen is already disappearing)

    Not sure I’m quite willing to undermine civilization rather than fibd stock photos for my blog posts.
