but literal lost ability to think critically among possibly an entire generation of people depending on how long the grifting can keep going.
Eh, have some faith in today’s youth. They’re brighter than you give them credit for, if nothing else because they’ve got records of the experiences of other recent generations.
If I’m that kid I’m pulling in plenty of cash from some dipshit tech bro to fund my own goals or just fuck around and have fun while he gets legacy code that’s already out there and isn’t bright enough to figure out. Also, he’s in high school, there’s no real price he’ll pay when the scam comes undone, he’s just a kid.
Well I do have faith in the youth, its just the elder capitalists that are looking to exploit them I’m worried about. I’m worried there will be a point when taking the time to actually learn how things work will put someone at a disadvantage under capitalism because those who are willing to “vibe code” their way into jobs will have the advantage of stuff that works “right now” instead of working “well”, and the people doing the hiring and running the companies are all about “right now”.

Just because the records are there, doesn’t mean anyone is going to actually look at them.
How many generations ago was WWII? Seems like everyone already forgot the lessons from that one…

I’d like to think most people learn from history, but they clearly don’t.
Hah. History taught to them with what public education money?
