< disproportionate tech, over-valued co's, and avoiding the ecosystem trap (soon a void)

~kebabmaster

Interesting... Well, I guess you already know that you are not the first one to say that "the crisis/collapse of some stuff is coming". My comment on the tech world is that someday these corporate Fortune 500 like jobs will be asked again if they are really necessary to operate... thus some optimization and improvements may take place... The word "layoff" occurs more frequently these days so... (https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&geo=US&q=layoff).

However, while some folks can prepare their "shorts"/tin-foil hats/money to quickly adjust to the reality after such a "collapse"(process or a point on a timeline), some other folks can tell you that there are some quite interesting alternatives emerging. For example: Less burnable solar panels, Running AI on your own,... and yeah my mind here either refuses to say more or is limited to that.

When it comes to the good old owners of these potentially "dead" companies, they will continue to either squeeze as much money as they can or will try to "polish their stone/sculpture" to generate as much money as they can (optimization, etc... programmers no longer needed). But after all, "after every collapse of a tower of Babel, some buildings will remain untouched"(so they might serve in other projects).

To those who work in this sector: Steal as much as you can, until it is too late. (We all are clever after the event takes place)

in the end (welcome) it is a soliloquy for what most things are, and have been: collapsing.

Advancements, yes. Advancements in tech, yes. Are humans "tech"? No. Are humans "advancing" (should this be a thing)? No. Evolving? No. We are densely populated on a planet which doesn't have (enough) sustained resources for us. This being the reality, it's claw and keep what one can/will - keep those closest dearest, and if no one is closest, hold oneself dearest.
