Facebook and instagram constantly email me trying to entice me to use the app. As I haven’t used it for years.

I think it’s purely to massage their Active Monthly User numbers to show growth.

Take a juicy corruption story to the media and watch them refuse to engage. All of them.

There are things they are allowed to talk about, and things they are not.

It’s been refined over many decades to maintain public ignorance

That Epstein or Enron type scandal you see in the media is tip of iceberg of what is not published.

They would need to borrow a lot of money to buy it, as article suggests $8bn valuation.

Bending raised $1bn in IPO and spent all of it on Airtable recently

Keep the business alive? Article says it’s making good money so no risk of it dying

I would add private option, even if paid as businesses may want to use for their internal training and not want public

Good luck with the venture

Surprised she left as probably had stock options.

But she was Meta before so can’t be a question of her principles, so indicates a personal reason

Meta were fined by Mexico a few days ago so the timing today of a Meta doing good exercise is probably not coincidental

Why could he not speak to HIS ceo himself instead of asking Bob to

“Demis seemed like the inevitable successor to Sundar.”

Demis is a ai researcher. No indications of being a polyglot beyond that? Running alphabet means a focus on revenue growth and across more boring products.

I would say that the word stupid is a derogatory term.

You are being idealistic and not basing your reasoning on science.

All people are not born with equally capable brains.

That’s just a fact.

People are not equal in their decision making.

>Over the last few months, we've noticed a significant shift in how people build. As AI models become more capable at reasoning, we've noticed that developers are increasingly relying on new coding agents such as Claude Code/OpenClaw to handle complex tasks. The typical rigid workflow low code approach quickly hits the limit when it comes to complexity.

Their front page says ‘design agents visually’ so their target market was less skilled devs/non devs.

So not sure why they are giving the reason if closer as cli related when low code and cli are different markets.

I would urge you to refrain from using the word stupid.

All humans are not born equal, many are born with poor critical thinking which is not helped by regimented schooling and the isolated nuclear family pattern.

It’s for the strong to protect the weak, but instead modern consumer capitalism is built on the strong exploiting the weak.

You perhaps missed where I said ‘taken in by marketing’.

Companies don’t spend multi millions on advertising for no reason, advertising works.

For anyone not from Britain, majority of parents, taken in by advertising, feed kids highly processed ice cream sold at low prices, no different to most other countries.

Ingredients are terrible for all the brands mentioned. And British children have high obesity rates and dental issues.

The golden age was pre-big food when ice cream was made naturally.

The celebration of targeted product design, branding and advertising is something we should move away from. The companies don’t care about its customer’s health, just its profits.

This is how progress happens, someone gets to 3t/s, the next person gets to6/s and eventually we get to 100t/s.

People like this person are laying the foundations.
