This Must Be What Grandpa Felt In 45'

Watching Sora shut down Disney's open AI investment hits different when you've survived the dot-com bubble, the crypto winter, and seventeen JavaScript framework wars. The comparison to 1945 is chef's kiss – soldiers reading about the end of WWII with the same energy as devs watching AI companies implode overnight. One day you're all-in on the hottest AI startup, the next day your stock options are worth less than a Starbucks gift card. Disney probably had some VP who spent six months convincing the board that generative AI was "the future of content creation," and now they're updating their LinkedIn with "open to new opportunities." The real kicker? In six months there'll be another AI hype cycle and we'll do this dance all over again. The tech industry is just war and peace but with worse coffee and better memes.
