@Upwork We relied on @Upwork to source verified talent.

What we uncovered was identity misrepresentation and undisclosed outsourcing for Upwork "ID Verified" freelancers.

Recommendation to all considering using Upwork:
1. Do not rely on “ID Verified”
2. Best to skip Upwork

@FiverrSupport
If one of your freelancers misrepresented their Identity and outsourced their work without approval, will you provide a refund of all fees?

This happened to us when using @Upwork

Unlike @Upwork, if you guys actually treat your clients fairly, we will switch!

It’s extremely good that Anthropic has not backed down, and it’s siginficant that OpenAI has taken a similar stance.

In the future, there will be much more challenging situations of this nature, and it will be critical for the relevant leaders to rise up to the occasion, for fierce competitors to put their differences aside. Good to see that happen today.

@UrbanAirPort @UrbanAirPort Are you sure a hole in the middle is a good design? Have you modeled the aerodynamics for potentially causing evtols to enter into a vortex ring state?

[Rich Liou @SlipStream220]

@Supernal_aero @UrbanAirPort Vortex Ring State?

Stock market is immensely overvalued: the Total Market Cap is at 200% of GDP. For a comparison, on March 2000, just before the dot-com crash, TMC/GDP was only 143% Today it is at 200%! It's mind-boggling. @Jkylebass @RaoulGMI @RealVision @georgesoros @subprimePaulson

@Fidelity I want you guys to transfer my money back and close my account. Why do I have to waste my time and be on hold with you guys without access to my own funds. This cannot be legal.

[Rich Liou @SlipStream220]

@Fidelity YOU GUYS HAVE THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE. I currently use TDAmeritrade and MerrillEdge. I created a Fid acct about 2 weeks ago and transfered money in. Now i am locked out of my account. I have been on hold with your terrible customer representative for the 30mins!
