Corporate governance deals with complex systems. Focussing on stockholders at the expense of stakeholders invites unmanaged chaos into those systems. Don't think externalities end at those faced by the ones who pay you.

This is the 'fuck around' part before small creators 'find out' that AI companies can afford this. Then, when they've put up so many walls to AI that they've accidentally created a corporate-controlled dystopia, they'll wish open-source AI could have competed and helped them survive as humans. #fafo

Gov. Pritzker: “It's wrong to deploy the National Guard and active duty Marines into an American city over the objection of local law enforcement, just to inflame a situation and create a crisis.”

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

What #ICE and #MAGA don't understand is that people in other countries, like me, don't care if you're wearing a mask - we can identify you from the way you walk, your silhouette, the time you were videod. My team has processed 43 #ProudBoys filmed at arrests. Today is target-rich.

That security guard knows that the range he fired at makes less-lethal just lethal. His training taught him. He tried to kill that person.

Whenever I try and raise awareness of the risk disabled people face when detained by ICE, I’m met with a chorus of voices asking “were they illegal?” Here’s the thing, it doesn’t matter if they’re here legally or not No human being should be made to suffer this way 🧵

Americans are really, really bad at politics. Take this #Republican, for example. If you want to undermine the #Democrats right now, instead of reaching into the past, you go help your Proud Boy buddies by #cosplaying as ICE agents and bashing #Californians. #RatherBeCleverThanLiveInADemocracy

#China wasted its chance to be the dominant superpower when it backstabbed #India, its closest ally, by invading Arunachal Pradesh. Likewise, China will happily betray #Russia for starting the #CenturyOfHumiliation and invade #Siberia.

It's hard to count how many Ukrainian cities Russians bombed last night - just one was Odesa. Russia destroyed a medical clinic and a school with Shahed drones. Luckily there were no casualties, unlike in other cities.

"I can do it cheaper" is a shitty business model in most industries. "I can do it more efficiently" is good so long as you completely understand the ecosystem. "I grow the market" is much better. youtube.com/shorts/mKG6F...

Here's something for every company and website designer: When I am checking any balance, whether it's a gift card, store account, whatever (thankfully banks don't do this). Just show me the balance immediately. You thought that animation that "counts up" the balance was cute. You were wrong.

Does anyone else feel like installing a Snap package feels the same as a cheap and risky buy from Temu etc? I can't let go of the sheer number of hours I've spent repairing my system after installing a Snap.
