Well if AI can accelerate the slopware -> abandonware lifecycle then maybe net gain? We can move on more quickly after setting fire to a zillion tokens.

Ideally the single-use slop should just go straight into the self-satisfied user's system and never appear in the public "release" arena.

But we have to suffer through this awkward phase where people want to have it both ways. They don't want to run a successful collaborative development project, but the want the imagined accolades.

It's hard to really comprehend. It's a bit like people wanting to have fame as musicians for successfully pressing the buttons on a jukebox?

I mean, there are some pretty famous DJs out there
Where all the bits we slang in 2009 and MacBooks we breezed through in the 2010s?

Yeah, same place the tokens and MacBooks today end up

This shits a boulevard of broken dreams in a lot of ways
