Six months of salary.

That's what Matt Mullenweg offered every Automattic employee to resign if they didn't believe in the company's direction.

About 9% took the offer and left.

Is it possible to build an incorruptible company in our current system?

[Long-Term Stock Exchange @ltse]

In a @FastCompany essay, Founder of the Long-Term Stock Exchange @ericries argues that many fears about #AI are ultimately fears about institutions, incentives, and systems optimized for the wrong outcomes.

“If we want different outcomes, we cannot just ask what our machines are optimizing for. We have to ask the same question of our organizations.”

@tibo_maker The law of gravity, Incorruptible by @ericries , right here: "that's when the pressure kicks in. you start hiring ahead of revenue and chasing growth numbers someone wrote on a whiteboard. you stop building for users and start building for the next round"

Thank you for sharing!
