And that’s job creation right there!

Thanks to Discord, I’m able to keep merchants that “connect overbearing authoritarian entities with the data they shouldn’t have, at a price point we all can agree on” at stable, sub-full time employment status.

Truly, pillar of the economy, er community.

Not meaningless but certainly undercuts the grandstanding.

I’m beginning to think companies are doing this to get people to leave by themselves

Are we eventually gonna get more fusion because billionaires are demanding more energy for their stupid projects?

Sure, knock yourselves out.

Wait, kids don’t use the index? How do they find things in the book?

I don’t know about your textbooks and what ages you’re referring to but I remember many of my technical textbooks had citations in the back.

Define “works”?

If you’re a CEO, cutting all your talent, enshittifying your product, and pocketing the difference in new, lower costs vs standard profits might be considered as “working”.

If, 24 months from now, most people aren’t coding, it’ll be because people like him cut jobs to make a quicker buck. Or nickel.

I just cannot fathom this absolutely brainlet, short-term thinking. Yeah, these people have created some of the best content we’ve ever made (according to player feedback). Let’s fucking fire them all!

When did “investing” die and rise as a revenant obsessed with burning down the building to get one more penny? Do billionaires know something we don’t and are burning everything down because the planet’s gonna explode?

I’ve gotten to a tight, taut 82% by trying to make all the mods I cram into video games not shit themselves all over my PC

I blame “AI” grifters who are preying on enthusiasm for the next, big “scifi breakthrough” we’re all hanging on the edge of our seats for. AI Pushers came out calling it “AI” when everybody already had a conception of what AI is from media, muddling the point because the layman can’t crack into the “black box” that is machine learning.

What about the way we’ve seen markets operate makes you believe they care about the long-term? Long-term is someone else’s problem.

Because it’s easier that way. Rather than protracted recruiting processes that really dig deep into the current needs of the company after detailed evaluation of current projects and current manpower, just hire anyone who looks halfway decent and fire the ones that don’t seem worth it whenever is convenient.

I find it weird that you think a well-done deepfake porn video of someone vulnerable would be in any way less affecting than if real porn had been released.

Your career can only be ruined if you rely on other people to fund your career. He has enough money (and loans and solvent businesses he hasn’t decided to tank yet) independently to keep going when others would have had to pack up.

You think any other non-billionaire could weather the absolute drain of most advertisers leaving Twitter?

Ew, I can feel myself getting healthier just parsing the word “u******l a***r”. You need to censor more of that.

but sequencing and gene alteration is way cheaper than in[sic] needs to be.

…what? this sounds like you’re advocating for price increases.

Then it’ll make meat bots to do all the dreadful stuff and the cycle will begin anew

“The robot revolution will mulch everyone you care about.”

At least they tell it to us straight and keep their word! They mulched my ma just yersterday!!

It was like that in an age that no longer exists, and can no longer exist. Things were generally decentralised as everyone was doing and hosting their own shit. And people were fine and accustomed to finding weird holes with a collection of strange content. The average user is now focused on convenience rather than exploring, especially as web content has come to supplant other forms of entertainment.
