1/ Twitter ads no longer say "promoted" down in the bottom left corner of the tweet, now it's a smaller "Ad" in the top right so you don't instantly twig that it's an advert.

2/ This is a real advert on Elon's hellsite:

I would much rather all corporations be co-oped, all employees get equal say and share in the company and drive the direction and profits are split evenly among everyone. No CEO, no executives, the board of directors are the employees.

for what its worth it looks like the company decided to not go ahead with the change - although they still occasionally used "The Hut" in marketing they didn't go all the way with it

elon has been told for like 20 years now that X is a terrible name, x.com is a terrible URL, and his ideas were garbage, and he went "ok but what if i just purchase a super expensive, well-established company that has already entered common parlance and then change all their branding to X instead????? that might work???" all while being sued by former employees, with no real plan on how to roll out the changes, and everyone mocking the poo poo out of him at every step of the way

he's loving dumb as poo poo

I had recently learned that all of those new AI/algorithm driven bots can effectively and far more efficiently do what the CEO does, but for free. Just run that and let the employees discuss and vote on how to best use that data. This fact radicalized me even more towards destroying capitalism.

it's pretty funny how the focus is on how AI will destroy the careers of artists, software engineers, designers, writers, etc and never on how the CEO is technically the most replaceable person in the company now that computers can write press releases, give "motivational speeches" and talk out of their rear end with total confidence despite what they're saying being complete bullshit

I asked chatGPT what's the most useless position and it said the most useless position is anything entry level (most people) and when i said no it's the ceo it told me it's too important of a role to replace and a big ethical scenario since ceo requires too many interpersonal and social decisions.

Janitors, cooks, cashiers, delivery people - all well known jobs that we could definitely do without anyone doing them



CEO - the most important person that exists within a company, no exceptions. he does all the not-work so everyone else can focus on the work. without them, nobody else would even matter.

It sounds like the AI has mastered the CEO's entire job description: consider the CEO to be important and act like everyone actually working to make the company succeed is useless.

I do some consulting for a company that is integrating chatGPT in some places, and one of the devs came to me as a subject matter expert to vet one of chatGPT's suggestions. I told him it was gibberish, and he then told chatGPT that a subject matter expert says its response is gibberish and it replied with "yes it was gibberish, sorry about that, the question is very difficult".

You should come work at my employer. 80% of the blue collar folks are all some degree of a conspiracy nut. They'd make a but more than half of the vote. Thanks, but no thanks.

The best one are company internal conspiracies. Every time the market goes into a slight recession and the order volume goes down, leading to occasional reduced working hours, it's the C-types doing it on purpose trying to keep the simple man down.

because nobody gives a poo poo what corporate parent companies are called. The actual products people use are still called Facebook and Google. Just like Twitter was called Twitter even though the owning company has been X.com since Musk bought it

People care when the product they interact with gets rebranded.
