Even on the consumer side AI providers are enshitifying the plans. Everyone saw this coming three months ago plus.

The corporate side seems to be well... stupid? Execs asking their people to burn tokens do not understand the politics and cadence of business. Corporations do not actually demand more work to be completed in the way we traditionally think. Creating a lot of stuff in a corporation tends to naturally banish most of it to the void because that stuff requires other people to exist and engage with it in order to use it, deploy it, get customers using it, etc. AI does not take up that slack in the way that we are being told because it lacks agency. For most people in corporations the problem is not that they can't do their work, their real jobs are mostly being political nodes in a vast system. There is no solution on the table to change that at all.

Yes. As makers we tend to assume that the more that is made the better, and that simply by having lots of (shiny!) stuff we will get paid/honored/favored etc, whereas in fact often this stuff becomes someone's problem somewhere.
