@pearlythingz Status and validation have been important to humans for a very very long time. Social media makes tickling that need, the gnawing need, easier. Pearl, you yourself have that need, just like the woman and man in the picture. You're not really different
@David_Charts2@paulg So are you saying the right-wing propaganda machine is effective and, therefore, the perception of the importance of a college degree is down?
@TeslaPatriot@samzliu@paulg Correct. And the price is terrible. My daughter just graduated from UCLA this year. For several months last year she was barred from getting into the library there due to Palestinian protesting. She is neither Jewish nor Muslim. Just a student trying to study.
@bgurley gotta hand I to you good sir. The first chapter on Danny Meyer is some fantastic storytelling. Danny seems to be a mensch, shokunin, and artist of his craft.
@XFreeze Genuine question... I really want Grok and XAI to be as effective as Claude (or more effective). Claude is SO easy for me and cowork makes us 10x productive. When will @grok be able to compete?
@BillAckman@X Agree that you ought to fight it partly because there are no real consequences (bad press, IPO timing, etc...) for you. However, I concede they 'seem' consequential. And partly because it's a good deterrent for others.
