Oh whoops laying off your engineers and replacing them with AI didn't work out?

@cwebber “The most pertinent example of the former is the ill-fated metaverse, which was developed solely on the (unbelievable) whim that the pandemic would last forever — or at least far longer than it actually did — and people would become accustomed to replacing in-person interaction with virtual reality””…”
It was nuts to think people would prefer to put on an expensive headset to have cartoon versions of their heads & torsos interact with other cartoons instead of just opening Zoom.

@cwebber Lol. Here's the very real HR problem with Zuckerberg's Trump Jr stylings as a chaotic leader: Zuck permanently poisoned the hiring/rehiring pool. You now have an slightly higher than equal chance former, current, and new employees have been incentivized to booby-trap, time-bomb, sabotage, vendetta the engineering because Meta has proven it has no loyalty to its staff, and deserve none in return.
The most dangerous employee to an organization is the "nicest" one who knows the org CANNOT be trusted -- you'll never see the damage coming. It's why HR typically has security wipe your access, and watch you get your stuff, and escort you out when terminated. HR knows the threat can happen.
These white boy geniuses are too smug to realize the risk they chaotically created, and can't anticipate what's going to hit their business empires as they are derailed from inside their own houses. They equate wealth with intelligence and leadership - it's not. FAFO.

And is often cited as the exemplar of arriving late to the party and paying top dollar for mediocre acquisitions.
Should 'adequate' leadership be the head of a top-10 tech firm? I don't think so, but then I am not directly invested in it. (I try to avoid tech; takes more brains than I have.)

@cwebber They did find a solution, though: try to do more of it

@cwebber @EshuMarneedi I'm reading "Careless people" by a former Facebook Exec, and Zuck seems both not to be very smart, but also has a big "I'm the main character and you don't really matter" syndrome
You work for Zuck?
Ya fuckin billionaire apologist troll. -

@cwebber What is the point of Zuckerberg? He keeps dropping the ball, time after time. If I were an employee or shareholder if be very frustrated and worried right now.
