Tech companies will sell completely broken non-functional products when they think they can get away with it. "It doesn't work" should never be our only critique of tech, but it's vital to point out when something does not in fact work; we should never automatically concede their default claims that their products work perfectly or even reasonably well.

If you work in games, please hire the 23 people Double Fine laid off today. They're good people.
Look folks the genie is out of the bottle. The genie went from $20/mo to $200/mo. The genie is spending $8 for every dollar it makes. The genie is reactivating every coal power plant it can. The genie needs 60% of your town's water. The genie is hiding $1.65 trillion in debt. But it's out of the bottle! The genie is out of the bottle folks.

And on the pedestal these words appear:
"This author has chosen to make their posts visible only to people who are signed in."
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

[meeting someone from Stanford, chatty, shaking their hand] BIG fan of the prison experiment!!
OpenAI wanting the US government to take 5% is not "democratization" or something, it's a bailout. OpenAI can't get the money from private investors or the stock market and needs the hole in their bud...
@nprofile1q... the various tech centrist / pseudoleftist proposals for "public ownership of AI" are just another version of this - public ownership of a thing that harms the world and never should have been built? public ownership of the hellfire missile, public ownership of the cybertruck, public ownership of NEOM.
"The people responsible have names and home addresses." And? C'mon, people.
@nprofile1q... boring answer: UHC didn't cease operations when Brian Thompson was killed. the systems of power capital has built are generally (not always, but generally) too durable for random political violence to interfere with their operation, and they've manufactured consent thoroughly enough that even several such killings wouldn't land in the popular mind as a mandate.
also the average human most oppressed by these systems is kind, peaceful, and has too much to lose to sacrifice their lives.

"a group of people doesn't deserve human rights" is not just "a view" someone holds, it affects everything they do, their decision making and that of any org they hold power in, the impact they have on the world. you are complicit in your CEO's actions and the consequences will be dramatic.

crush this wherever you encounter it. crime numbers have not appreciably changed - what changed is that SF got a mayor that billionaires were happy with, and the doomloop narrative machine was wound down. rents are up 20% in the last year, homelessness is still really bad it's just been relocated 10 feet outside this guy's line of sight. tech is a scourge, SF is not a progressive or leftist city, it's been ravaged by decades of neoliberalism.
