I've been thinking abstractly about Boing's enshittified airplanes recently. Specifically, I'm wondering if this is what cultural and technological collapse looks like in the early stages. Our most advanced technologies stop working (and start falling out of the sky) because the institutional culture (of skill, excellence, systems integrity) that built them has been irreparably degraded by metastasizing hypercapitalism.
Today it's airplanes & decent concrete, tomorrow maybe combine harvesters?
