 <p>Do we think that social norms will adjust? Well that's interesting because the comparison between what was happening then and what is happening now isn't straight forward. Whilst the industrial revolution changed a lot and made many jobs redundant, it also meant <a href="https://rootsofprogress.org/cost-quality-and-the-efficient-frontier">things became cheaper for end consumers </a>and made things more accessible for a large volume of people. In other words, it generated a quality-of-life improvement for everyday people.</p>
 <p>On the other hand, most of the benefits of "generative" AI currently being touted by those in the tech industry relate to cost reduction on the supply side rather than providing increased quality of reduced price on the consumer side. Most people already have smartphones, social media accounts and social media accounts and access to huge libraries of content for the price of their attention or some nominal fee. As platforms enshittify, reducing the quality of their "product" and in the same breath increasing their fees, they are actually giving consumers worsening deals.</p>

-    So, in conclusion: Printers suck, but this is both an innate problem caused by them having to deal with so much fucking Real World, and a local minimum of reliability that we're currently stuck in. Eventually we'll get out of this valley on the graph and printers will bother people a lot less.
