     to be clear we get the cynicism of “haha that’s the point they do it all badly for cheap!!” but like. they don’t do anything. they only replace david graebers bullshit jobs. like the only jobs they replace are jobs that u could delete from the economy with no impact except unemployment. that includes u, tech worker on 200k whose job is a/b testing the text on a button

     @jacqueline@chaos.social You're saying this like is not something that most humans don't know how to do properly either. Have you seen what most offices are like?

     hell we can't even making fucking toys anymore!!!

     panic, ostensibly a video game console manufacturer, failed to develop a bluetooth speaker: https://play.date/stereo-dock/

     repebble, ostensibly an effort to create and sell a smartwatch, are outsourcing the design and manufacturing of the smartwatch: https://ericmigi.com/blog/february-shenzhen-trip-update

     what is this stupid fucking fiction we have that u can generate a million bucks off of being 'an ideas guy' while other people do all the actual work. we're fucking cooked.

     “but jacquelines they already have self driving busses right?” these are toys. they are fragile, expensive, inflexible, shitty toys. it’s a toys industry that’s all anyone in the west knows how to make anymore. we’re cooked.

     someone needs to take the trash out, cook the food, build the toys. someone needs to hang out at the electric plant and make sure it works good. someone needs to drive your taxi.
