The C-suite brains are getting so rotted, they can't resist yelling out the quiet part 10-15 years ago it would be unimaginable to see this sort of statement get out without a whistleblower helping along

If he really "gets it", then he would change based on just how many people disagree with this decision. He doesn't get it. He just gets a paycheck.

guy with airpods calmly explains consent

People should make him opt out of having his house burned down.

this is the exact same tone as all the Q+A segments at the end of corporate all-hands meetings I had at my last job. "the simple fact is, we did it at your expense because not doing it at your expense wouldn't have done what we wanted it to do"

If I walk into a store and they spray me in the face with a water bottle like a cat, then force me to opt out of that treatment next time I come to the store, I simply wouldn't go to that store anymore.

he’s offended that you, the product, are making demands on how they do business

He's not worried at all.

We were always the product. That's what wage slavery is.

There's no greater evil than a tech bro explaining their thoughts.

This is it in a nutshell. The whole effing thing.

Everybody's right about this guy being a schmuck but he also doesn't know what "spam" means. A bunch of people asking in chat why you're doing a crappy, harmful policy is not "spam."

this guy's gonna get in so much trouble for just telling the obvious truth everyone knows is the truth lmao

I'm sure people already know Mary is a genuinely good person, but for those that don't know, please don't come for her head.

See....this makes me more suspicious. Obviously that's the reason, but the fact he didn't try to hide it makes me wonder if maybe that's *not* the reason. But either way, is the fact that no-one wants this enough of an indicator not to do it!?

The tech industry has a history and tradition of making things mandatorily suck, who started this tradition? Not important, what is important is that things are gonna suck more from now on, and it we see no reason it can't suck even more in the future, as is tradition.

They get indignant when you complain about shit in your food and go “hey man can you calm down? This isn’t really about you. Kinda need you to eat the shit food….”

Poop in my deli brother hh

This is a great point

This is more a "why did you bring my food on a soggy napkin" situation. "Well, you didn't tell me whether you wanted a plate or a soggy napkin, so I had to go with the default" "Why is the plate not the default and why isn't there an option for a *dry* napkin?!" "Everybody's doing it" "...No?"

Nah he’s all over it on LinkedIn. He just doesn’t care that people don’t like it. “You’ll all see soon” kinda guy. He’s frustrated in the announcement because he knows they’re gonna yell at him.

I don’t think any of us would be that silent lmao

Today's tech bros are fundamentally sociopaths. I don't think that is too strong a characterisation.

Shoulda been a million people here by now. www.earthcam.com/usa/dc/washi...

Paging Dan Olson … Dan Olson, you have a telephone call at the front desk. @foldablehuman.bsky.social

Probably thinking we’ll appreciate the honesty not the response itself. Which yeah in a way I do appreciate the honesty, but also still fuck you.

Press release in a few weeks: “90% of streamers adopt AI, indicating massive demand”

my knee jerk reaction was "lmao"
