LLM enshittification is inevitable
Rach Smith in How long have we got before the agent output is enshittified?:
I remember when Google Search gave great results, when Facebook and Instagram genuinely kept me connected to my friends' lives, and when Twitter was a fun place to network and make connections in the industry. Every single one turned to shit in pursuit of profit.
It feels inevitable that code generating services go the same way, right?
Truly, I believe Rach is right when she asks whether this is as good as it's going to get. Anthropic is going public. The switch in focus from product and growth to profit is right around the corner.
