I need to find that article about the failure of Alexa where it's revealed that amazon had a full time employee just for dog facts.

Shageletic posted:Can I get a summary quote:Over the past several months Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur have taken increasingly transphobic stances, especially regarding trans women in sports but also more generally when it comes to trans youth getting access to gender affirming care. I've no idea who any of these people are.

It’s the same story really, “CEO believes in fairy dust that costs his company billions.” It's amazing because I'm sure even in the wildest olde sci fi, when Cpt Sammerson said 'computer, order me a star pizza and arrange the sky taxi for 8', no one quite speculated the computer was charging him $10 for the privilege and selling his food preference data back to his health insurance

Steadiman posted:Yeah it’s really funny. Every step of the way literally everyone was loudly saying that it was never gonna work and nobody cared but he just committed to it entirely. I think that’s what happens when you start believing every decision you make is great because you once got very lucky. Kinda like someone else we know. I don't want to undermine anyone's faith in the American Dream here, but it seems like most if not all the techbro geniuses that hit it big got where they were by sheer dumb luck.

oh my god it's even funnier than my half-remembered earnings. This is just a wonderful crown on this whole disaster. And yeah I'm amazed people don't make more fun of this incredible fuckup Neddy Seagoon posted:A reminder for anyone not aware; VRChat has had working IK-driven legs, and full-body tracking options, for years. And Meta's announcement even name-dropped VRChat in their big showcase recently, right before being all, "Wow, did you know legs ADD to immersion?? We're gonna be the FIRST platform to have legs on avatars!!"

Stoca Zola posted:Quickly looked at Threads, my Insta account was not the same as my Facebook account since I set it up before they merged and then never really used it, but Threads still forces my full real name into my Threads profile even though Instagram never had my full real name originally. Meta automatically propagated it from Facebook I guess? I eventually found where to change it, it’s not under personal details in Instagram, there’s a Name field in the Instagram profile that can be changed every 14 days, and that then propagates to Threads. wait but this thread assured me that a sex worker was a liar for warning about this exact thing

sebmojo posted:ehh, i mean ... they won? Elong got hosed. i think that's the only actual marketing they need. Not playing by the rules here is a huge deal for client retention and talent attraction. Their entire brand is small but punchy by hiring the best M&A associates and including them in partner like pay arrangements made possible by representing the spendiest M&A clients. There is a lot to lose by admitting to graft. There's always pride before a fall so maybe they're gonna get caught grafting but my ANAL gut laugh at Elon expectation is they're gonna find the contract is sewn up and the judge is going to have a laugh about doing due diligence about your acquisitions so you don't need to arbitrate a party trying to weasel out mid acquisition when they are going to promise the lawyers a recovery bonus based on your ridiculously overpriced bid.

Paracausal posted:3 days in and the Threads algorithm is serving up luke warm bathwater. so far it's mostly influences trying to expand their brand frankly whoever posted about Twitter giving you the illusion of proximity to power was dead right. Elon's radicalization has given power an excuse to step the absolute gently caress away from the platform, and I very much doubt that powerful people will be exposing themselves with such personal-appearance simulacra on a platform again

zedprime posted:If you're in acquisitions and your name isn't Musk you're doing a lot of legwork before tendering a structured deal. If you notice your target is maybe retaining the firm that has been legally caught leaving a deal with their hand in the cookie jar you as the acquiring party will at best have a more punitive deal setting up hoops to protect the cookie jar or at worst just walk away leading to the being acquired party to start to not prefer who is otherwise The firm to get. i mean, maybe, i really have no idea what i'm talking about. but really on the scale of sins i think 'charged a poo poo load of money (?too much? maybe idk) for straight up doing a MK style HUMILIATION on the richest man in the world on behalf of their clients' ranks p low. just shows they got moxie.

ooooh that's why the myth persists. Because they see themselves as Musk. They like to imagine themselves as him for just a little bit. It's always projection, and in this case, THEY get to pretend they're the Musk, the Trump, the make-believe superhero. Guys buddies just go on AO3 and write the fanfiction you wish you were living it's normal lots of people do it it's ok I won't tell anyone. Stop trying to make politics your fanfiction. It's ok.

Jestery posted:Lol that Trump successfully called a shot in not returning to twitter Over breakfast I had the thought that Trump might recognize when other guys are also playing everything by ear but have no idea what the gently caress they're doing Idk It also makes perfect sense that Trump wouldn't want to look WEAK BETA MAN NOOOO by swimming in the river twice, so it's probably necessary to keep his rationale as simple as possible

kw0134 posted:For a firm of Wachtell's size, given that Twitter wouldn't be your only, or possibly even your largest client, that's absolutely an outlier. And definitely not for M&A work that was essentially complete by the time the alleged bonuses were paid. It'd be like having 10 sales people, and somehow one guy in a single quarter made 10% of all your revenue. That's suspicious no matter how you slice it. It might be in fact innocent, but you're not going to wave that away without justification. Do you have any sources for this? I haven’t been able to find anything to support what % of Wachtell’s workforce worked on the twitter case or any other things to support that it was just 10% of their workforce, also it wasn’t a quarter it was 4 months wasn’t it
