    People often ignore the fact that the Silicon Valley Barons have swallowed their own sauce. Silicon Valley has an industry of sycophancy to uphold their narcicism. That means they can also suffer under narcicistic delusion.

    Case in point: when Windows 8/10 was released, Microsoft - referred to as Microslop - fired all their QA teams because they believed automated QA testing was just as good. If you wonder why Windows has been so enshitified, there’s the real reason. Now they have a refactoring project for Windows that uses SteamOS as a benchmark, because they know they’ve fucked up.

    And of course, the same can be said for the mass firing of developers because they were going to be replaced with AI, only to be hired back to then babysit that AI.

    Never forget that narcicists wear the jogging suit and drink deeply from the punch bowl, and they want us all to swallow it with them.
