Apologies if you have seen this before - but this

is Mark Blyth (an economist for whom I have a great deal of time), describing the enshitification of things like parking-metres.

Everything is being enshitified. There's probably a way of proving that it is a mathematically provable inevitable outcome given, certain axioms/constraints.

I'd give it a year or so before AI can do game-theory proofs of this sort of thing. Somehow Bibbits will be involved as well I suspect. Monte Carlo simulations etc.

There comes a point in every IT Support person's life when they get the call that breaks the camel's back. It goes like this:

User :: The printer's not working

Techie :: What is it doing wrong?

User :: It won't print.

Next thing you know you find yourself walking naked beside a motorway somewhere... about 10am, cars driving past... no idea where or how you got there.
