When the AI bubble bursts, defective chatbots that replaced skilled workers will disappear, leaving us scrambling to get that work done after the workers who understood it have retrained, retired, or exited the workforce. 35/ 231760

quatch.bsky.social @quatch.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Science is almost exclusively process knowledge.
