You are mistaking what the CEO and the VCs want with what a long term stable company would want. The incentives don’t work that way. The CEO gets his bonus and ability to sell shares if he pleases VCs and VCs are looking for bagholders for

Bad take. If the author understood games, he would know that the ecosystem just does not have the capacity to sustain tech like margins. Of course that’s ultimately what Bay Area Companies, especially EA and Unity and their (ex/current

Not surprised. A team at Google identified this as a vector to juice growth, submitted the metrics which now govern their PSC and didn’t add the necessary counter-metrics to measure negative effects. That’s normal because that’s how the gam

The leader/management dilemma is a dilemma and so far has evaded any solution. Some countries like Singapore explicitly tried to solve for it and still are, objectively failing. Cycle: - Great Leader arises from a group of aligned lead

Uhm. Look at content owners vs artists right now - look SAG strike and the insane employer proposal. The idea that copyright won’t backfired badly and freeze future generations into paying rent is ludicrous.

I love how this somehow is used as an argument for todays wealth disparity. “Well kids, you could have been a Jew under Hitler, so go kiss Elons feet and be thankful” to put the argument to the max.

People say this a lot but is that really true? I feel it needs objective measurements including anything from access to health care, drug risks, etc. Most importantly any progress made by humans as a whole rather than “the poor” needs to be

This is factually incorrect. Steam (And I suspect Apple too) handles these challenges pretty transparently and fairly and don’t leave you on the hook. Frankly speaking - there’s a lot of comments similar to this in tech, especially when esp

Google is surprisingly shit today, actively pushing current events over historic ones despite search filters (weirdly reminiscent of LLM attention issues and biases to recency). I’ll see if I can find the primary ones, they are from the arc
