Recently a small startup CEO I know used information he got from an AI model (Bard) to get a list of relevant conferences. They created marketing campaigns based on that information, he never double checked the output. The conference dates

Its so annoying that Non-WBA holder around here keep arguing with me. I try and explain to them why Walgreens Boots Alliance stock is the future of investing but they are kept in their non WBA bubble. Good luck buying WBA stock at a higher

Not that I particularly love the big G but why are top comments taking this seriously? Google grew in 2022 from 150,000 to 190,000 then down to 170,000 in 2023. What are couple of hundred down in such a large company? This is just some FUD

Yes, you are correct. And even more specifically its a legal issue. The old TOS guaranteed to enforce data separation and now it does not. Its not about the technology, its about loosening constrains on user generated data. Do you think I c

Ah yes, I can tell its a good way to learn how to be a developer by teaching you about how to write in an authoritative "intuition as fact" tone even before the course started.

Only correction is that the 100% share price pop is because of aggressive buybacks, not efficiency. They bought back 5% of the company last year. https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/META/meta-platform...

This is just academic gymnastics. If market conditions dictate that a worker produces 10 dollars in value so you hire people for 9 dollars, and then the value of their production is reduced to 7 dollars you need to fire someone. In the real

Its too much to expect from VCs, they are each trying to maximize their gain. Creating consensus and cooperation is very hard, especially in bad times. It's exactly why governments exist, In some cases a web of self interested parties

Not to rain on the common man parade, most of these layoffs are after even bigger hiring rounds. Microsoft hired 40K employees in 22 to layoff 10k in 23, that is still 30K more employees. In 22: Meta hired 12K+ Netflix 2k+ Google 20K+
