This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I love how he paid a consultant a lot of money to adopt the image of a giant fuckboy.
What's crazy is that he could just have asked for volunteers and add a pay raise alongside agreement in participating in that crap and I'm sure half the company would be doing it willingly. Instead he just pissed off everyone and will likely get data poisoning from maliciously compliant employees, and lose highly skilled employees.
data poisoning from maliciously compliant employees
Even if everyone cooperated faithfully and diligently fully in on the plan of being rendered redundant in a few years, what do they even have?
Just the generic motions of work. As soon as your business model shifts, or some interface changes, or you run into a problem that you haven't seen before...
They're cannibalizing themselves. That's the only way you can describe it. An organization that's hollowing itself out with management aware it won't last (or delusional enough to believe reality will never catch up with them).
If they're doing this with their infrastructure, how much does anyone want to bet they're playing fast and loose with their budgets and accounting as well?
This all screams Enron/Worldcomm waiting to happen.
if i could insta-kill any company today….might not be THE best choice, but it would definitely be the most satisfying to kill meta
Google. You can easily avoid Meta. You don't have to de-metify phones, you don't have to use Meta's browser. It's really hard (and getting harder) to avoid Google. Meta is annoying, Google is cancer.
Disagree. You can easily degooglify for the most part. Except android. But you won't get your friends and family to contact you via anything other than Whatsapp (except in america).
And teens without Instagram just don't exist socially. Maybe with TikTok now. But not like TikTok is any better.
Meta provides zero value to the world anymore. It would be a net positive to be rid of it. Maybe I could go back to using Craigslist again instead of having to use Facebook to sell my used shit….
I would of course, go for Palantir.
Since corporations are ppl Death note would be good path.
Zuckerberg: People just submitted it.
Zuckerberg: I don't know why.
Zuckerberg: They "trust me".
Zuckerberg: Dumb fucks.
Zuck should have his head put on a skewer.
lol he will never win
Whoever stayed at meta this far deserves everything coming at them from this lizard
Ah, the good ole' "the ends justify the means" school of immorality!
Won't learn shit from meta employees. Biggest bunch of useless grifters I've ever met.
"I know you guys are the smart people, so I'm going to harvest all your data because I'm just a fucking idiot who got lucky on harvesting data and have no issues exploiting every single one of you."
"We all have our parts to play in the machinery. The parts you are playing is that of cogs, and my part is owning them and make them do what I want. GO TEAM!"
To be fair he’s also been trying to make an AI version of himself.
The idea is a less atrocious if you don’t have to worry about any of your needs being met. But even then, there’s a huge difference between “I recorded myself doing X” and “we’re going to watch everything you say or do and hopefully put you out of a job with it”.
Ethics doesn’t matter. Morality doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is profit.
"Every dollar spent is a vote cast"
It seems to me not even profits matter to them. Just control and power.
Yup. Money is important only in that it leads to control and power.
LINE GO UP!
Or "Capital". You've just discovered the fatal flaw in capitalism: when money matters more than people, money will always win.
I discovered that decades ago. I’ve just been screaming into the void ever since.
I hear you. We live in the age of information. I pine for a period of time when people can find intelligence.
for Zuck specifically, it feels like ego.
More like fooling the investors that AI will bring profit
Guillotines. Invest now before it's too late!
And I defend the idea that Zuckerberg should be throw into a slow moving industrial grinder.
Is that Zuck or the A.I. Zuck created by Zuck so that Zuck won't have to Zuck zo much ?
You’re not winning the race, Mark
Isn’t he? There was an entire Hollywood movie in 2010 that grossed $224M about what an abhorrent person he is, and yet he’s still more successful than ever.
The world has shown that it may not love that he’s a shitty person, but it’s too apathetic to stop using his products and lining his pockets
The race to the bottom perhaps.
[mEtAvErSe noises intensify]
He won the race to the bottom before he even built/stole Facebook.
meta employees.. i am begging you. leave, now. at least form a union or something.
Go to hell, Fuckersberg.
they trust me, the dumb fucks
He said that the biggest problem is that they have leaks about what they want to do with AI. https://odysee.com/DYiMJ1JP_az:b44480746b23cb260ba4e23261e1e3e5dfee6f20
He really is drinking his own cool aide.
Fuck Zuck, the cuck that sucks.
We need to signal the plumber.
In the US, private employment == indentured servitude.
