  • One wonders who would have the time, interest and money to setup and control AI to do all this… One wonders 🤔 and the one remembers -just as a random example- Microsoft funding SCO with tens of millions of dollars right after which it attacked Linux with fake copyright claims for years, after which Microsoft extorted large corporations into switching to Microsoft platforms. Also, why controls GitHub now? Anyway, I digress.

    OS will deal with this, I imagine it won’t be too hard to setup tools that will deal with this shit, but I’m so sick and tired of continuously having to deal with this shit. Can we just formonce have something nice?
















  • I attended many C level meetings in a publicly traded company, grateful to be out by being fired after throwing the CTO off a cliff for sexual harrassment. Yeah, those whistleblower protection documents that I had to sign were used to wipe asses.

    I can guarantee you that right now many meeting are having had where people need to come up with ideas to make the company look better without doing anything that would make them less money. They’ll come up with strategies where they promise to do better, probably implement a few rules that actually make it better for 6 months or so, then they’ll change it to make it worse than it is today. Potential disasters are always seen as opportunities to make even more money.

    Fuck these people.

    I’m now a CTO myself at a private company and we do better. We pay honest wages, also for C level (as in, I don’t have an insane salary or disturbing benefits), we try not to over hire, we try not to fire. I’m the first in, the last out every day. We focus NOT on lying to customers but on actually making good products, that is why people love working with us. There are companies that are working hard to do it right.
