I definitely want to hear more deep thoughts from the guy who claimed Elon Musk's purchase of twitter would "extend the light of consciousness"

Conversations w Jack Dorsey are always illuminating. Here he argues how massive Block layoffs signal how companies must drastically transform in the AI age. He also comments on Twitter, Bluesky, politics and journalism. And WIRED! .https://www.wired.com/story/jack-dorsey-explains-block-layoffs/

you'll notice there's absolutely no depth of bad judgement that's disqualifying for treating these guys like hybrid philosopher geniuses provided they still retain the immense wealth they backed into ass first

You just KNOW Jack Dorsey is very very smart because a decade into trumpism and he's still somehow oblivious to the uniquely cancerous threat posed by fascism

well you see there is a red team and a blue team and the red team went really far out into doing red team stuff but now the blue team is also doing too much blue team stuff and so

Every single time a new outlet feels compelled to interview an unremarkable billionaire they should pause and ask themselves if there isn't an under-represented artist, scientist, activist, engineer, or academic actually doing useful/interesting things that's more deserving of your readership's time

There is absomuteky nothing Jack Dorsey has to say that's remotely unique or interesting and it's embarrassing when editors and people of prominence pretend otherwise

You are right on all of it! And this first point: “you'll notice there's absolutely no depth of bad judgement that's disqualifying for treating these guys like hybrid philosopher geniuses provided they still retain the immense wealth they backed into ass first” is what I noticed first. Spot on!!

NO need to say SORRY! You are merely speaking truth to power on behalf of MILLIONS who agree with you. I'm surprised we don't hear more about the BS coming from Jack's mouth. Oh, no surprise. People love + admire billionaires aka the untouchables. URGH. Dorsey is a POS who should STFU + go far away!

"I was on the board of a company that was created solely to compete with my old company but then my new company started to do what it was created to do so I had to leave." -Jack Dorsey

WTF is he dissing Bluesky? Gone to the other 'ideology'? YEAH! That is why we are here. Less cruel, mean trolls + hateful racists. NO ONE telling me I can't call myself A YID. Jews are Yids. X repeatedly punished me for saying I'm a YID aka a Jew! That's why I left X! Fuck X's ideology! Fuck Dorsey!

Does X know YIDS created modern entertainment. Broadway, movies, from radio, TV, JEWS aka YIDS were behind the MAJOR development, productions + in front of audiences? Was it political activism + cultural activities, and SCIENTIST that X objects to giving credit to Yids? That's why they silenced me?

I dunno if X savvy enuf to know YIDs were 19th century social justice warriors! Yids fought against the Russian czars + others. Yids in early 20th century America fought for labor laws, 8 hr workdays, overtime + doubletime + against child labor. Of course safer food. BEFORE politicians enacted laws.

"When the bombs hit in Iran, I thought of Jack Dorsey" is one of those ledes that should have gotten an immediate strikethrough from an editor.

They do! Some of the best of the trump era. Though they aren't exempt from stinkers. Like that weird recent story about the "gay silicon valley Mafia"
