Since everything is software based, virtually all of it is proprietary, and requires updates; I'm now bearish on any technology that relies on companies continuing to operate and update their software.

Everything is so shitty that even miraculous tech like this could break down when a company goes under or decides to stop making software updates on a whim. I don't think I've read a single dystopian scifi book that imagined corporate control of every minor/major innovation with paywalls and subscriptions that ultimately lead to the enshittification of every facet of our lives. It feels so much worse than we could have imagined.

lol. Why is this even published? Most people would be too embarrassed to say anything about it let alone have it published.

I remember how my Jewish liberal family and friends talked about Israel as a secular society and that this is what separated us from the Arab neighbors. Certainly takes this notion, digs a deep grave, and buries it. Israel is the Nazi equivalent of the 1930s/40s and they're not even hiding it anymore.

This is just the beginning. Trump's idiotic belief that America's hegemony will push countries to cave when in reality we've been a dying empire for the last 30-40 years. We just didn't know it. And Trump basically accelerated the decline.

Just to add the difference. Managed solutions typically has the consulting firm managing the maintenance. In some cases, they take over an existing solution vs the consulting company building something.

We help them build solutions that they then maintain and own. I’m in analytics. So we’re doing data engineering, security, and delivery.

I'm in IT consulting. I have personally done some really cool shit for my clients. Things they didn't have the talent to do themselves. Business management consulting and tax audit consulting is a completely different story. I don't help automate away jobs. I'm not presenting decks to strip companies and governments for parts. Needless to say, not all consulting is created equally and my hope is that there comes a time where this bubble bursts this push for AI dies on the vine.

My consulting company is literally talking about nothing else. It’s fucking awful.

That's because the lawsuit the US government would face if he were let in, would be devastating.
