      Sort of, except this time instead of it being millions of homes about to be foreclosed on its like 10 multibillion dollar companies, so the real problem is who is positioned to buy those companies when their share price crashes and they need to be sold for peanu… fuck it’s Trump isn’t it? In 2 months we’ll be using MicroTrump Werd to write reports and Tesla Xsell to build spreadsheets, but only when we can navigate our way through a minefield of vibecoded slop and ads for ICE.

        You jest but USGov already owns 10% of Intel, the seal’s been cracked, and it’d be a suitably fascist move.

          Considering that both Intel and AMD originally grew up on government contracts, It’s a wonder that the government doesn’t own 49% of each.

        Well everyone’s index-based investments will also take a nose dive to be fair. So that’s going to be a lot of people’s retirement funds set back by several years, maybe a decade.

        Damn if only there were some sort of alternative not owned by anyone and built by the community. If I’m making impossible wishes I’d also want it to be free to use. Maybe even open source.

        Nah that would never work. Who would put in that kind of effort for free? Silly idea.

          Sadly my company has complete say over the platforms I use when at work. Given their scramble to adopt copilot with little or no obvious benefits and unknown depth of security flaws, I don’t hold much hope that they will pivot to an entire new platform suite on Microsoft’s collapse …

      Capitalism doesn’t breed enough innovation for new reasons. That’s why they need AI, to come up with new bullshit.
