Replace China with Russia and this would be news, not satire

There were a bunch of stories of Republicans helping Cornel West’s campaign last year to act as a spoiler.

Let’s make a community powered, open source project to do this and watch them squirm when investors demand that million dollar CEOs get replaced with AI for higher investor returns.

It’s a funny story because Ford was suspecting them of building a rival car company so he wasn’t doing it entirely out of altruistic pursuits. He wanted to them to get lower profits from their Ford investments. Whenever you think capitalists have reached the peak of greed, they truly innovate.

This only strikes us plebes when we find out about it. It is common knowledge in economist circles:

The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase Its Profits: a company has no social responsibility to the public or society; its only responsibility is to its shareholders https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedman_doctrine

This has only been recently challenged as a PR attempt to rebrand it into “stakeholder capitalism”

Also, not related but equally horrifying: in macroeconomics there is a target of unemployment of around 5%, aka full employment is to be avoided: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAIRU

Wow, 10 years is still pretty young! Most of the other consolidated languages are at least 30 years old. Will be interesting to see how this project evolves.

Stop spamming this shit. A “censorship resistant” 4chan that runs like ass with some crypto scam embedded is not exactly appealing.

lol… apparently even the hype bots got fed up with plebbit: https://programming.dev/post/30153892

Thanks!

Very nice, I love your style! Obligatory “what brushes are you using?” question

I’m actually surprised there aren’t already 20 alternatives to Twitter written in Rust

Great job, the system is broken as fuck anyway. The fact that he used AI to do it is the karmic cherry on top! Ideally, you should be able to run the model on the cloud of the company you’re interviewing for, just as an extra ‘fuck you’.

You seem completely detached from the grueling experience of being interviewed, so it’s unsurprising that you don’t understand why somebody would want to burn this whole thing down.

No need for a new direction, right? Biden can run for president even if dead, and liberals would still vote for him.

Client side is completely out of the question here. You can’t just send millions of posts to every client hoping that they will order it themselves. Bluesky has a well thought out architecture that does that through server side feed gens, that can be decoupled from the App itself.

Discovery is just the worst, lemmy has a problem with it as well but it’s somehow just amplified on Mastodon

Totally agree. Mastodon is absolutely terrible at discovering new things. Explore tab is just feeding me a bunch of garbage, like cat pics (what is this, 2005?)

This is the initial reason for the invention of “The Algorithm” on social feeds, before it got sabotaged to push content with an agenda.

“Wow, such a brilliant CEO! Cutting waste where it truly matters.” - fanbois/bots everywhere

Technically cool, but it’s scary that it tries to emulate the anonymous, unmoderated shithole that is 4chan. Go to 4chan now and try to imagine something even more racist, nazi and unhinged.
