I'm also willing to dump trash into your front yard for free. Should I be getting a subsidy for that?

    It's proof of the power of marketing and push from behind inclusion, not necessarily proof of real demand or value. There's a strong case that road traffic increases to meet road building, much as public use of AP expands as AI centres are built and dependencies built into every new bit of IT tat. Labubu dolls are the fastest growing recent fad ..

      How can you say this when people are active paying for subscription that are hundreds of dollars per month? >Labubu dolls are the fastest growing recent fad .. People like cute things and people like to gamble. It's not surprising people are getting their fix via something like that.

It's not surprising people are getting their fix via something like that. But that is behavior distinct from real need .. what happens, for example, should AI suddenly disappear for everybody save for a few in, say, code generation or other low population applications? Will the world end?
