When USSR was crumbling, factories were also paying workers in products they manufactured.
This is AI bubble companies trying to print own money. Printing your own money only works if you find a way to make it necessary. That's what taxes do, for example (recommended reading: David Graeber's "Debt").
Here:
👉 "printing money" part is paying employees in tokens
👉 "taxes" part is requiring employees to use AI in their day to day work (thus making tokens necessary)

Claude Desktop app was unresponsive for users for several hours because it did not account for daylight savings time:
https://status.claude.com/incidents/pqpgkf52p3tg
> Root cause: Users with scheduled tasks in Claude Cowork or Claude Code who are in a timezone that observed daylight saving time last night were affected by an infinite loop. When the app tried to locate tasks scheduled during the “skipped” hour, it couldn’t resolve them and got stuck.
Enterprise quality. Serious company. Many wow. 🤡

This is a warning. Arstechnica doesnt put it in the headline. But "speed test" means scraping your computer from the metal out.
If you gave your PC to the local police they would find less info.
Its so "valuable" to techbros, theatre spending a billion dollars to get it.
A Speedtest is a cavity search by chimps, and Trump funders want it bad.

It turns out GenAI code changes are causing serious incidents and outages at Amazon with "high blast radius" https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/03/after-outages-amazon-to-make-senior-engineers-sign-off-on-ai-assisted-changes/
