    I can’t wait until billionaires realize how worthless they actually are without people doing everything for them

      Eh, as the world goes to shit there will always be desperate people willing to work for them, probably cheaper than before even with the AI failures, so they wouldn’t care.

      Might be a minute. The brain damage that lets them think they’ve “earned” those billions kinda hides the work of others. Especially the poors.

      Very few billionaires built from their own effort. Authors and Musicians? The guy who made Minecraft? Khaby Lame?

    Man, corporate layoffs kill productivity completely for me.

    Once you do layoffs >50% of the job becomes performative bullshit to show you’re worth keeping, instead of building things the company actually needs to function and compete.

    And the layoffs are random with a side helping of execs saving the people they have face time with.

      The original creator of Twitter and now creator of Bluesky and whatever this thing that’s falling off the rails is.

      Basically another billionaire living in his own little bubble and huffing his own farts too much.

        He also had a lot to do with Nostr, early on.

        Jack Dorsey, has endorsed and financially supported the development of Nostr by donating approximately $250,000 worth of Bitcoin to the developers of the project in 2023,[13][15] as well as a $10 million cash donation to a Nostr development collective in 2025.

    Uhhh, Block is the the parent company of Square (formerly known as Square Up). This is actually a huge company, not some little side thing.

      Yeah not sure why they think Block is “new” they just renamed because they have a bunch of businesses beyond Square now.
