2026 is the year of the scammers; AI is everywhere, and it’s mostly used for bad. From my point of view, generative AI is the shittiest thing to happen to everyone on earth.

Multiple problems like…

• License washing (laundering) is now very common. Fuck.
• Incompetent people create huge projects with no idea how they work.
• Competent people are becoming incompetent.

Rewrite stupidity
