I'm just so tired of the algorhythms. It's like being in a cage mentally.

Thank you all for your advice, it is most appreciated and I will put it to good use.

Bottom left is wrong, should mainstream media spewing the propaganda they have been told to.

I started talking to a friend about this and he called me a tin foil hat wearing conspiracist and said even if it's true him and his company is making money off of it so he doesn't care.

Right. It doesn't need parity with developers, it just needs to be cheap enough to justify the replacement. Also, there are an army of developers right now trying to make it happen, building guardrails and frameworks and even new languages to enable it. If you are an "ok" developer and you don't have a plan B, you're going to be hurting an a few years.

It's competition that is supposed to drive down prices. Doesn't work very well though when you have virtual monopolies and vertically integrated companies to the extent that america has, like Apple and Amazon.
