It's worth noting this is happening at the same time that fucking Nvidia rat Jensen Huang starts dooming about China being "nanoseconds" away from beating the US in the AI Race.
Tech has been nothing but a glorified advertising agency, including shilling their own stock to easily hyped and FOMOing normies to take their retirement money and cash out at the top.
Everytime is see Google's revenue I think "WTF, who clicks ads?"
Who even sees ads?
Normies.
Anyone who browses the internet while still seeing ads has no business accessing the internet in the first place.
To be fair to normies, Google's has evolved their approach around that. Even with full-on ad block and anti-track, they're going to put sponsored results for your query at the top of the results page.
So when the normie types "best [tool]" when shopping for dad, it's going to serve them a relevant ad. Then they're going to likely click on it because they don't actively avoid the word "sponsored" on principle.
And they insist their advancements in things like ram and storage are not only groundbreaking but necessary and it's only necessary because every OS, every app, every piece of software game is massive bloatware. It's normal for a standard browser to eat up 4 gigs of ram, more ram than computers even had a decade and a half ago. GTA6 is set to be 100G.
Also because they outsurce to jeets. During the last couple of years there has been a Windows 11 update that: kills your SSD, triggers bitlocker recovery, breaks the recovery environment, breaks localhost, breaks task manager, etc.
Nobody knows how to optimize anymore
