Yea management is less than useless and are probably taking up more of the budget than engineers. The more senior the less they matter. They are experts in ass kissing and justifying their bs position so they will likely stay while putting more of the pressure on engineers.

But not only is the management part of the problem, I think the whole culture of burning through people through hire fast/fire fast is also going to be a problem for Americans to catch up. It works when you have to get a barely functioning slop out, but I don’t think it can produce something truly innovative or optimized.

I think if America wants to actually compete they have would have to completely dismantle the corporate structure, but I don’t think that will happen. What’s going to happen are these companies are going to get more money than god with little oversight, but it’s not going to work when most of that money is going to the bloat. In my view nothing innovative has come without government intervention (excluding maybe the transistor)

Instead of the space race we’re getting the AI slop race

Lol that’s barely anything to them

Why are free market enthusiasts panicking? I thought competition was supposed to bring about the best results? Or was that just a load of bullshit to let domestic monopolies control everything?

I mean it’s just the “free market” init? I’ve always liked the term anarchy of production

Advertising industry made sure that would never happen again

Yea I was decently stocked up right before the lockdowns by chance, not even thinking I’d need to be. Luckily one of the things I stocked up on was toilet paper because who would’ve guessed that that would be one of things in short supply

Their plan was to import talent while defunding schools here to give the capitalists tax breaks. China is able to retain their talent though and put them to better use than a capitalist economy ever could.

Seriously. Covid proved thats exactly whats going to happen. I just wish it only affected people who choose to be dumbasses about it.
