“we’re disrupting X” means we found a cheaper way to do X that externalises all the costs onto someone who can’t afford a lawyer

@Daojoan
Are we talking about Musk here? Sounds like no but but maybe yes? I'm so torn, that ass wipe Elon has stolen our ability to use an important variable in equations and comparisons...

[connynasch@mastodon.social]

@Daojoan means stay away from "X"?

[timfinnerty@toot.io]

@Daojoan
where X ::= <any business model>

[wpalant@infosec.exchange]

@TrimTab Yes, we are talking about Musk. Yes, we are talking about Zuckerberg. About Altman. About Bezos. About many other men (yes, it’s pretty much all men who can get away with it) whose business recipe can be summed up like this.

@Daojoan Usually means they’re doing something illegal and know that nobody will actually enforce the law.

@connynasch @Daojoan - Totally 100%; I agree as well. I cancelled my X account last month, had to wait the 30 day grace and Walla. Never looked back and moving forward in Mastodon.

[djohngo@mastodon.social]

@Daojoan Darn. For a second there, I thought you were going to disrupt X.

@Daojoan education too

[evoscale@c.im]

@Daojoan Those who control more vital infrastructure, have more accountability in aftereffects of root causes/waves.

We're not completely devoid of standard physics, and trickle-down economics, eventually, heavily favors those at most root-power.

@WPalant @TrimTab @Daojoan Also Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, GrubHub/Seamless, Postmates, TaskRabbit, the list goes on and on.

Which can be translated into billionaires subsidizing a company in order to reach monopoly , then they start extracting their pound of flesh

@Daojoan “It is a great tragedy of the digital age that we have made ‘numbers’ (profits) so important that the breadth of ‘words’ (human rights) has been left behind.”
“Economic development, if devoid of human compassion, does not unite society but tears it apart. True ‘description’ must be one that makes it easier for everyone.”

[dirtside@phpc.social]

@Daojoan just like how when they say "move fast and break things" mostly what they're breaking is laws

[isocat@tiggi.es]

@Daojoan When I was smol, we were taught that being disruptive is bad; it's antisocial and rude and deserves punishment.

That's actually still true.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @kevin @WPalant @TrimTab @Daojoan the inevitable trajectory of capitalism. Blaming the current batch of robber barons is missing the forest for the trees

@Daojoan Profits before people.
