Zuckerberg is a sociopath. Articles sanewashing him are missing the main point.
keep making the same fundamental error: treating his employees as if they’re not human beings deserving of respect and care.
It’s not just Meta. It’s capitalism driven by financialization with sociopaths at the helm. It’s not an error. It is essential. Whatever changes they might make to increase their profits, they will not include actually caring about employees as human beings. AI might produce memos that better conceal the callous exploitation and fraudulently proclaim caring, but it doesn’t care either.
Frickin AI idiocy. Makes me miss the even more idiotic “metaverse”.
It’s “its”.
Also, thou shalt not editorialise headlines.
Counterpoint: Fuck that grammatical rule, it serves no purpose except to cloud intended meaning. Grammar is to describe language dammit, not intentionally reverse during one of it’s most common instances because “fuck you that’s why”
What? Headlines? Oh right, that’s also part of the conversation
“Mark Zuckerberg is realizing there’s a limit to ruthless efficiency”.
Cost cutting is not synonymous with efficiency. It’s sad that a business focused magazine doesn’t see through the bullshit.
- Losing 70+ billion on the failed VR experiment and laying off workers related to VR has zero to do with efficiency. It’s just stopping losses without having any other positive effects. No efficiency gain here because the whole thing is mothballed.
- Putting AI bros in decision making positions and demoting highly payed engineers who actually know how the platform works to AI training babysitters: Not very efficient so far because the fuck ups are getting costly quickly.
There is more, but why should I give a fuck about Meta. Let this dumpster fire burn.
an humanoid android only knows ruthless efficiency.
Zuckerberg doesn’t really want ruthless efficiency. He wants ruthless control.
One gets productivity from happy, well-cared-for workers. Like Bezos, he tries to micromanage them instead.
he is an android
