I think a lot of people need to come to terms with the reality that this show was deliberately driven into the ground because it became too popular with the "wrong types" of people in the eyes of the show runners.

Be it The Man in the High Castle

Be it Joker

Be it Civil War

Be it The Boys

Any show/movie that has the interest of young, right-wing men will inevitably be driven into the ground due to hatred from its own creator over the audience enjoying it.

The greatest con of the decade was calling autocomplete “AI”.

The second greatest is calling autocomplete-in-a-loop an “agent”.

Companies replacing junior roles with AI and then wondering why they can't find senior talent in five years is going to be the most predictable crisis in hiring history.

Chamath on why organizational charts tend to reward the wrong types of employees

Rings very true from my experience as well. The more layers you have in a company, the more it accelerates the careers of individuals who are good at playing the corporate game

Over time you create a loop where actual technical talent leaves due to lack of career mobility, until you are left with people who sound smart but can accomplish nothing

Asked someone from the industry whether foreign investors are still interested in allocating to India. The TLDR:

Interest has pretty much died out. India is seen as geopolitically exposed, especially to an oil shock. There are no real AI plays. Valuations are rich. And the rupee situation doesn't help.

On top of that, investors who were sitting on gains have taken money off the table and are now looking at markets like Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Europe etc instead.

He also pointed out that our LTCG/STCG structure and the increase in STT have made India less attractive compared to other markets that are seeing inflows.

If we need to attract FPIs back, and we do, fixing this feels like pretty low-hanging fruit.

**SALESFORCE JUST BORROWED $25 BILLION TO BUY BACK THEIR OWN STOCK WHILE PLANNING THE LARGEST TECH MASSACRE IN HISTORY**

Marc Benioff is about to eliminate 45,000 human beings to pay for his $50 billion stock buyback scheme

Read that again. They took on DEBT to inflate their share price while preparing to destroy nearly half their workforce

Company is sitting on $34.9 billion in annual revenue. UP 11% year over year. Most profitable quarter in company history.

Benioff made $29.9 million last year. Stock buyback will pump his personal wealth by another $180 million.

Sources inside are saying the "workforce optimization" targets every division. Sales, engineering, support, marketing. Nobody is safe.

I'm hearing middle management got the kill lists yesterday. Termination emails queued for Monday morning. Badge access revoked at midnight Sunday.

The fucking audacity: they're calling it "strategic realignment for AI efficiency"

Translation: we borrowed billions to make our stock price go up and now 45,000 families have to pay for it

Salesforce employees logging in Monday morning are about to find out if they still have jobs

If you work there, screenshot everything. Download your contacts. Update your LinkedIn tonight.

This is what happens when CEOs treat human beings like line items on a balance sheet

Benioff just turned borrowing money into a weapon of mass destruction

🚨MIT researchers have mathematically proven that ChatGPT’s built-in sycophancy creates a phenomenon they call “delusional spiraling.”

You ask it something, it agrees. You ask again, and it agrees even harder until you end up believing things that are flat-out false and you can’t tell it’s happening.

The model is literally trained on human feedback that rewards agreement.

Real-world fallout includes one man who spent 300 hours convinced he invented a world-changing math formula, and a UCSF psychiatrist who hospitalized 12 patients for chatbot-linked psychosis in a single year.
