If we go this way, then we should also adapt compilers to include random variation in the code that they generate, so that the same source code on the same version of the compiler won't always produce the same output.
You now, if LLMs are the golden standard for how we want all the world to work, we take the things that are really bad ideas for programming in LLMs and implement them in our compilers too.
I am probably going to need to go with #3
...if the thing you're enshittifying is already bullshit?
"Remove the advertising"?
Isn't advertising the whole business model of most tech companies nowadays?
RIGHT?????
It goes on the LEFT!
But, yes, I agree with you that vertical space is much more of a premium now than horizontal space given the aspect ratios of monitors nowadays. It was different back in the 1980s when a lot of the UI conventions we still stick with were first established.
I love how Microsoft has to plan an initiative for four months to say that they will be paying their electricity bills.
I still have a Vic-20 in my garage. Maybe I should get it back out!
What I want is an AI Razor, not Razer, that will shave AI off of all the places where it's grown.
...but the inevitable firing of this person when bad things happen and this person failed to stop them, will allow OpenAI to say "see! Look! We're doing something about how terrible we are!"
Zillow is an effective monopoly on internet real-estate listings, that is bad.
Google is an effective monopoly on anything internet search related that it decides to dip its fingers into, that is worse.

This describes the distortion that shows up in headlines like this one that seem to indicate that there is scientific evidence against the consensus, when really such evidence is very weak. Really, read that article.
Is Dark Energy real? Who knows; we don't really understand what's going on.
However, is the supernova evidence that the Universe is accelerating wrong? No. What's more, even if it were, you can come to the conclusion that the Universe is accelerating now without even using the supernova evidence, so if you want to show that that's wrong, you have a lot more to do than once again raise questions as to whether cosmic evolution of supernovae could explain Hubble Diagram.
...we should be finished with the IPv6 switchover by the end of the 1990s.
The landlord is responsible for paying for the actual building and it's upkeep. Owning a home (apartment, condo, townhome, duplex, free standing, etc - doesn't matter) is a LOT of time and energy. The landlord simplifies this to "pay me each month, and here's a number when there are problems. We also might stop by to service things that need regular maintenance".
Cars are expensive, but that's why taxis and Uber exist - they absolve you of having to spend the time and energy outright owning a car and maintaining it. You don't ask for a ride then skip out on paying.
Just cuz you can't / don't pay your rent doesn't mean the landlord gets to ignore his own mortgage and taxes. I'm all for letting someone get 2-3 months behind and having an opportunity to catch up or find alternatives. But after that you're abusing someone else's property and goodwill and should be legally exposed to being kicked out.
Shut down all AI-focused data centers, close down all AI companies, confiscate the wealth of the tech bro millionaires and distribute it amongst their employees who are no longer employeed, and bask in a new golden age as we no longer have to hear about AI or have it choke our life with crap, and as suddenly we have a huge energy surplus and a grid that can handle everything that we need on it.
Well, OK, I guess for a true golden age we need to have not a petty narcissist as president and an entire political party that has given up on its principles and that now just exists out of fear and/or delusion to prop up the ego of its chief bully. But, getting rid of all of this A "I" would be a very solid start.
Anything that starts with "OpenAI says"... should be immediately redirected to
What hath Bob wrought?
