“You should be ashamed of where you work.

“You should be ashamed of where you work. Not just Grammarly or Superhuman or whatever comically dumb name you come up with next. Almost everyone running tech firms, most people in positions of responsibility, pretty much every C-suite type — congrats, you’re all making the world a worse place. People used to be excited about tech, now they dread what data you're going to steal next, they dread what violation of privacy or the environment will turn up next.”

@thomasfuchs Ah, I don't disagree with this criticism, but I am old enough to remember that the reason half of us went to work at a place called Google or Grammarly or Amazon is that we already knew IBM, Microsoft, General Motors, Morgan Stanley, Boeing, Monsanto, etc. were stupid or evil or both.
... but yes, we were naive enough to think that it was because of the people, not the system itself, and this time... This time would be different.
