It means the enshittification is reaching full acceleration. The MBAs have taken over. It'll be a constant battle between monetization and research, and a continual skewing of research and development as unnecessary expenses, followed by a full-on torching of the reputation in return for fast cash now and trading on vibes thereafter, while the rest of the world moves on.

It doesnt take an MBA to figure out that selling stuff, or facilitating the sale of stuff, has value. The techies are the ones who built it, the whole "MBA" idea is a coping mechanism to deflect from your own (assuming you're some kind of techie/programmer) participation.
And investors will be genuinely surprised when the whole thing falls apart in 36 months and the still-very-rich founder spends the next 16 years giving uncomfortably veiny public talks about some uncomfortably sociopathic thing he’s become fascinated with and everyone tries to pretend is totally normal.
This is a brilliant idea. I'm going to mail 99999999 people about my new MBAI degree offering!
For only $6666 you too can become part of the new Mega Banana Annihilation Infantry – the secret task force fighting rogue potassium. Success guaranteed!
