Can we stop with this bullshit? Nobody will buy into it. WE DON’T WANT IT.

It's not for you as a consumer.

It's to reduce your usefulness as a worker.

Which would be lovely, if our value wasn't calculated by our usefulness to the market.

Sorry, I disagree with this kind of generalisation. To be rational, Just because you don't want it, it doesn't mean everyone else is on the same ship. I am very sure there are certain people who will benefit from this and want it.

„Certain people” do not justify spending billions in money and tons of resources to create more and more of the same shit just because there is a hype for it.

yes, I am one of those who are also getting bored of it. But this doesn't mean that I am part of the market that they targeted. They might me targeting certain segments or even service providers such as game developers or console makers etc. The technology is still in it advent stage so it is too early to say wether they are going to fail.
