The corporate world is overrun with executives designing products that look like solutions to other executives but that don't solve any problems problems people in the real world actually have.
It is funny seing xAI, the trash-tier AI company, integrate with Telegram, the trash-tier messaging service.

- runlevel1 1y agoEnshitification is often a company-wide culture problem, but the fish does rot from the head. There are a variety of reasons why a company might begin to over-incentivize short-term gain (or high-stakes risk-taking) at the expense of customer happiness and possibly to the detriment of the company's long-term interests. For example: Growth stagnation, an existential threat, a pessimistic long-term financial outlook, bad reward structure, low customer regard, organizational infighting, low employee retention, etc. The sudden emergence of AI and volatile economy are triggering several of those for a boat load of companies. And, well, show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome.
