The fact is that if a company needs to lay off thousands of people then it's a leadership problem. More often than not that leadership is not held accountable either.

Large corporations are truly dystopian, in my opinion. X already proved that you can run an app with millions of user with a relatively small team (was it 50-70% less?) ... not to excuse X either as I'm sure they'll do layoffs and dance to the same tune, but the point is that corporations treat people like assets, and this is especially fucked up when they are also providing people with health insurance.

Either make every single job a contracting job and have universal healthcare, or make it harder for companies to treat people like assets. There is just something very wrong with how the economy is run and where we are headed now with AI, even AGI on the horizon.

    How are dupes possible? I thought you couldn't submit a recent link more than once, it would redirect to the old submission. Do some accounts have superpowers that override this?

Somehow I had a better view of Jack Dorsey than the other tech-bro CEOs. I was wrong.
