When Tim fucking Sweeney calls you out on your bullshit, you know you’re a special kind of piece of shit.
He’s an opportunistic jackass, but he’s not wrong.
When the worst person you know made a good point.
A broken clock is right twice a day.
If they’re willing to say and do anything to convince government to advantage large corporations at the expense of workers and consumers I don’t think they’re “pretending” to be republicans.
Fascist country, fascist babyllionaires, fascist businesses = fuck GAFAM.
I reckon we will see the biggest transfer of wealth ever during trumps second term. They are all lining up for the big one. I see them trying to undo Labor laws and deregulate across the board.
I suspect they will push RTO even harder and try to drive down wages but specifically to screw over software developers currently on decent wages firing the lower paid ones, with CEOs claiming AI can do it while manufacturing the narrative that its the new normal 🙄.
You’d be surprised to hear that most software devs i talk to think the benefits of ai are overrated. The problem is the bubble keeps growing and growing.
… also leads to worse for all in the meantime.
We’re getting it shoved down our throats too. We get asked to use ai to enhance things… that no one wanted fixed with ai.
I added some more words to clarify, I meant the CEOs will claim it is replacing the developers. I’m a dev myself, we know it has its uses and its very obvious limitations.
Yes they just slap Ai in the marketing and scale up the price.
It’s not pretending if that’s what you want. It’s just what you are.
No shit? Companies will kowtow to curry favor and increase their profits every single time.
When are people going to realize that billionaires have no moral code and no ethics. The only thing they want is more money and they will do literally anything to get it, even if they destroy the world.
In other news, business people say whatever they can get away with to make more money.
No shit right.
People need to stop anthropomorphizing corporations. They are not moral and simply respond to incentives.
They earned good will saying black lives matter and now they earn political will by saying trans lives don’t.
Nothing they say is more than PR; no person, thing or idea matters except increasing profits.
if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
It’s almost like they have cutting edge artificial intelligence that can brief them on meta game theory and how to ensure successful outcomes for their personal interests, regardless of who’s ass they’re kissing.
Isn’t “skirt antitrust laws, and ultimately 'rip off consumers and crush competitors” making them officially conservatives?
That’s just every major company nowadays
Ok Tim
