That's when I knew we lost. When power hungry moderators felt threatened and, instead of standing in solidarity with its users, caved to corporate demands.
"But we'll be able to still protest. Every Tuesday."
Hell are those protests still going on? I highly doubt it.
I've been saying this for almost a year. Not open AI specifically but any company with a board of directors.
They aren't considering the shareholder value of their most expensive liability: the CEO.
He (because let's face it. It's going to be a he in most cases) is paid millions of dollars with a golden parachute. Literally money that could be given back to shareholders through dividends.
The fact that Boards of Directors aren't doing this could be evidence that they aren't looking out for shareholders' interests
Of course not! We employees of Fortune 500 companies use Google Sheets to manage critical data.
It's in the cloud, that's how you know it's good.
(I'm not even joking....our VP said this)
To be fair. His farming ventures have moved his opinion on climate in a positive direction.
Standard issue conservative. They only complain when it begins to affect them. If he didn't have a farm, would he still have moved in that direction?
Nope.
A common characteristic of conservatives is a lack of empathy.
Am I happy he did? Yes.
Am I holding my breath that he'll actually vote for change? Nope.
Eh....
Bank of America, Comcast, Wells Fargo, Amazon, Google...
Just to name a few.
Ticketmaster is in the top 25 for sure.
I miss old-school Consumerist and their annual Worst Company in America brackets.
The irony of the doctor's name not being in the headline....
On the surface of only the quote. I agree.
If a felon was in the White House, I think we'd finally see some genuine prison reform, and if we're lucky, for profit prisons being outlawed.
Can you imagine a Danny Trejo type in the White House? Someone who deeply cares that prison is reformative and not punishment?
But not Donny Felon. He's just going to commit more crimes.
Millionaire and soon-to-be indicted Elon Musk, found dead in his home last night, says it is not the role of social media networks to determine what is true or not.
That ought to get his attention
It goes further than that.
Sargent says something along the lines of, "We can't tell people about this result. They'll kill us."
The entire film sets up the premise that NASA is hiding research about a flat earth. They are guarding the ice wall so people don't see it.
Then they hide research showing the earth is round.
These people don't care about science. They care about power.
It's no accident that conspiracy theorists and conservatives have a considerable overlap.
Keep in mind that a celebrity can send you and me, regular joes, a C&D and we'd likely comply simply because we lack the resources to sustain a challenge in court.
What stops celebrities and organizations from suing South Park creators is likely the opposite: they have money and a legal team.
The same thing happened with John Oliver when he talked shit about some coal mine owner that was notorious for suing people. The mine owner served them from a court that had friendly laws but they were ready. And they had insurance to pay for it.
Or it's just late stage capitalism where the product has truly gone to shit.
