Enshitification is now the primary innovation happening at YouTube.

OpenAI is a zero interest rate phenomenon. A bunch of AI researchers leave companies like Google and ask billionaires to donate $1 billion to them to invent artificial general intelligence (think Skynet or HAL 9000) which they will create for the benefit of humanity and give away the research/code.

They only get $130M. So they decide to start selling software to make up the difference. Eventually some employees get mad they're spending more time on enterprise software than AGI and fire the CEO.

Nothing like getting your news from objective and authoritative sources on Twitter/X. Oh…

A broken clock fixed by taping a working clock over it is a metaphor for every codebase you’ll encounter in your professional career as a software developer.

How is cash flow still negative after firing 80% of employees and not paying any bills (rent, Google Cloud, employee severance, etc)?

There needs to be both a Netflix series and Harvard Business School case study about this historical feat in corporate mismanagement.

How is this real life?

The CEOs of Reddit and Twitter celebrating how well they’re running their companies.

The biggest tech innovations of the last 10 years. 😁

Twitter is being valued at $20B for employee stock grants which is 55% lower than the $44B Elon paid for it last year.

In comparison, Snapchat’s stock is up +18%, Pinterest +12% and Meta +53%.

I guess Twitter’s needs to sell more blue checks.
