  • "businesses and employees"

    the business pays for it, the employees "use" it.

    the business measures the value by how many employees they can remove.

    if the business is measuring "productivity", how are they doing that? Is it jira tickets? Is it timesheets? are they measuring quality? Is it starting to seem like you're trying to pick up water with your fingers?

    if you pretend that ai ceos are actually doing marketing the trajectory is right there staring you in the face

  • David pulled it all together perfectly here. It's amazing how well it fits the hook model, whether they intended it or not

  • Great piece by Jacob Silverman about the growing shittyness of the day-to-day internet experience

    Can we find a way back to an internet that puts people in lucid conversation with one another, where books are published after they are written, where anger and insanity aren’t the dominant modes of thought and the defining editorial values are more meaningful than a chumbox of clickbait nonsense? I’m not sure.

  • I hate how much firefox has been growing to this point of being the best, by a smaller and smaller margin, of a fucking shit bunch

  • It's probably more sensible for me to try writing short bits too, instead of faffing around with videos

  • really, thanks for listening! It's fun making them and nice to know they are being listened to

  • holy shit, I really don't know if this is real or a joke

  • thanks! It might be uncommon because it's a real pain in the ass to keep it short. Every time I make one I stress about how easily my point can be misunderstood because there are so few details. Good way to practice the art of moving on
