Good point but he didn't go far enough. I would expand the AI psychosis to include all local optimization based on phony measurements , even time spent , DAU etc (which are mostly bots & synth accounts). In other words AI psychosis has been going on for 20+ years.

The only reason it worked has been expansive money policy and a larger share of the cost of goods being dumped into marketing value while manufacturing costs dropped abroad. so no one bothered to check.
