Most people are not self reflective reflective enough to notice. Need to trust the studies.
Far more plausible than the AI ideas.
I find it far more likely these are smart people running without oversight for years pre-COVID, relying on being smart at 2am change windows. Now half or a full std. dev. lower on the IQ scale, hubris means fewer guard rails before change, and far lower ability to recover during change window.
I somehow doubt that if a majority of the population was a full standard deviation lower on the IQ scale that nobody would be talking about it, that there wouldn't be more research, and that it wouldn't be covered by the news whatsoever.
Keep in mind many parties benefit from capitalizing on hysterical hype. And you're going to sit here and tell me they're all keeping it covered up for some reason?
This comes off like the extreme left-wing equivalent of extreme right-wingers that say the "world is run by the evil jewish cabal" and when people ask for proof, they retort "everyone is hiding it so none exists".
For a select few, maybe, but it's obviously not enough of the population to make a significant difference in downtime outages in large tech corporations.
It's far more likely due to either AI, or more directly, layoffs and offshoring, as that affects hundreds of thousands of their employees.
