These are not all improvements. Listed:

* The year of YOLO and the Normalization of Deviance

* The year that Llama lost its way

* The year of alarmingly AI-enabled browsers

* The year of the lethal trifecta

* The year of slop

* The year that data centers got extremely unpopular

Not that YOLO, PJ Reddie released that in 2015

Said differently - the year we start to see all of the externalities of a globally scaled hyped tech trend.

I was discussing the political angle with a friend recently. I think Big Tech Bro / VC complex has done themselves a big disservice by aligning so tightly with MAGA to the point AI will be a political issue in 2026 & 2028.

Think about the message they’ve inadvertently created themselves - AI is going to replace jobs, it’s pushing electric prices up, we need the government to bail us out AND give us a regulatory light touch.

Super easy campaign for Dems - big tech trumpers are taking your money, your jobs, causing inflation, and now they want bailouts !!
