What AI is highlighting is how little the exec suiye knows about...anything. They think a lotto prediction engine can do what their employees do.

Stop fighting it. Let the whole thing fail.

Make sure you are cashed out though...
It WILL get ugly.

The same "open source" software has been leveraged to create and grow all of the companies that right know take hostage the world.
This shows how naive and silly are the overcomplicated OSS licenses.

When you create any technology, or phylosophy, transparently for everyone, you may expect it to be adopted by anyone. You can't choose who.

we probably should start calling infinite economical growth the name we use in medicine... cancer.

i still dont get the "reasons" by which people explain the necessity of capitalism to have good stuff... its completely irrational to say we have to buy all the shit thats advertised, have 100 shampoos in the supermarket etc if we want to have the great advances in medicine etc. and we even see capitalist greed make medical supply worse than it could be by the state of current technology

But the trade-off is total information control. An LLM there must align flawlessly with state guidelines. So instead of a VC's dream, you're coding for a government registry.

Developers end up frantically churning out features not to please a marketing department, but to tick boxes for state innovation quotas to keep the funding alive. Programmers are still cogs, just in a state-directed wheel.

It forces intense pragmatism. That's why we see a massive wave of highly optimized open-source projects—like Alibaba’s Qwen or DeepSeek—built for immediate, low-cost deployment. It's a hyper-frugal tech cage match.

How about "communist" China?

True communist? Not quite. But China's state-capitalist model is its own beast. There, the 'infinite churn' isn't driven by VC panic or quarterly shareholder value, but by national security and strategic quotas.

Tech giants and startups aren't building LLMs just to juice a stock price; they are mandated by Beijing to achieve absolute domestic self-reliance against Western sanctions. Different master, same hyper-speed treadmill.

When the metric of 'value' shifts entirely from utility and stability to continuous, forced novelty, you end up with an ecosystem that actively penalizes things that are simply finished, functional, or true. Programmers are trapped churning out unasked-for redesigns, open-source projects get acquired and progressively stripped of their soul, and creators end up shouting into algorithmic voids that prioritize constant, repetitive engagement over meaningful content.

Spot on. You’ve cleanly cut through the surface-level panic to diagnose the actual systemic disease. LLMs aren't an isolated anomaly; they are the ultimate logical conclusion of an economic engine that demands infinite churn for the sake of infinite growth.

But all good things, including cancers, must end. There are too few carrots, too long a chase, too many failures clumping at the bottom. The infection has spread to every aspect of society and behaviour and has touched every society (except, perhaps Sentinal Island). The only real choice we have left is: "do we die from the cancer or be born new from it?".

Then a few things happened: the internet and globalisation (which undercut regulation because bad things happen out of sight and no one country can regulate everywhere) and venture capitalist practices (which used to be called "asset stripping"). There's been an uptick in rent-seeking as well, with people trying to drive subscription models, but I think the VCs are behind that too.

That's where the real problem lies — that and the fact that the most influential world economy thinks those things are great and exports them everywhere including through coercion.
