This app is a cesspool of bots @elonmusk. I really want it to be a place to connect with real people. That is impossible when it is like this.

@vhsdaddy @atxREpodcast Agree. Have lived here 30 years. The prices have always gone up but the current home prices are unhinged.

@sinasanm 1. They are exposing their own hypocrisy (wealth/circles has insulated them from broad reality)

2. They are exposing their own ignorance (philosophically, culturally, economically)

3. Their need to drive narrative over “just building” makes us all rightfully skeptical of motive

[Matt Fangman @fangmarks]

@sinasanm This take resonates with me. I have lost a lot of respect for our so called tech leaders - in part because they are all online pontificating constantly.

I see three things happening as a result of this:

@BMcGrewvy Movie interpretation. (Have not read the book).

[Matt Fangman @fangmarks]

@BMcGrewvy Its not Stratt’s story. It’s Grace’s story. He had to be forced to change because when given a choice, he ran away every time until the very end, where he made his own heroic sacrifice. PHM is not about PHM. It’s about Grace and Rocky, both rising above, thru love of the other.

[Matt Fangman @fangmarks]

@storyandplot He was changed by his relationship with rocky (love, friendship, connection with the “other”. Rocky had sacrificed to save grace. Grace had to be shown he was worthy of being heroic. Ironically the first to believe that in him forced him into it. Rocky didn’t.

@ABC Literally walked into the living room and asked “why are we watching the launch on abcnews?” Thanks (but no thanks) for validating my skepticism by missing literally the most important 5 seconds of a livestream rocket launch.

[Matt Fangman @fangmarks]

@PhilaBCoulter Comically bad coverage.

It’s a bit funny.

This essay misses the relational element of creating with others. 2000 words and zero thoughts about trust, relationships, humanity, and soul.

I know I’m in constant danger as a middle manager. If all I’m doing is passing info back and forth, I don’t belong at that place.

It’s the idea de jour that middle management should die. But great middle managers can create and shape culture, trust, speed, and safety.

Maybe my role should die, maybe it will.

AI can route information better than managers. It can. The question is whether the things that make teams actually work, trust, safety, someone willing to fight for your growth, can be modeled well and with a human touch.

Jack wrote 2,000 words about how organizations work and never once mentioned why people do their best work. It’s never an information problem, it’s a human one.

@HailMaryLogs Love it!

@Devon_Eriksen_ Thanks for the take. Film & novels are completely different storytelling mediums. Tastes vary, of course, but if I am going to watch a guy talk to himself and a sentient space rock for 2.5 hours, I am fine with him being quirky & quippy. I was just happy to see an optimistic tale

[Matt Fangman @fangmarks]

@tszzl Respectfully disagree. The movie was excellent. Highly recommend it.

@AndrewYang What we need is The Great Investment - from both government and private sector into that pool of discarded talent to found and join new smaller companies in building more new things for society rather than optimizing mediocre existing solutions with higher margins for investors
