Silicon Valley has forgotten what normal people want

This really cuts to the bone of the issue with Silicon Valley that I think u/ezitron and others point out. Silicon Valley is out of big advancements and AI is their last gasp at meaningful new products. They have zero clue what normal people actually want in their every day lives and think they are somehow these grand thought leaders who know what's best. They are completely high on their own supply.

Meta targets May 20 for first wave of layoffs; additional cuts later in 2026
