   @dangillmor Coincidentally just listened to a great episide of @drvolts interviewing @pluralistic and this topic was discussed in some depth and it can impact medical devices, home appliances, EVs, and more. Really great discussion. https://www.volts.wtf/p/can-we-avoid-the-enshittification

     So you spent $800 on that "emotional support robot" for your kid?

     It's about to be a doorstop. Refund? Don't be silly.
