This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I’m so tired of hearing reports of what CEOs and billionaires say, as if it was news. These people aren’t smart, they just managed to stay on stop for longest. Quit giving them a platform.
Most CEOs are smart. They're smart in the corporate politics that keep one in such a position. They're apparently doing something right in the eyes of the board members, or they'd be fired.
They are not smart in any sense that benefits humanity. The only thing they benefit is themselves.
"The board" is mostly just CEOs of other companies. All they have to do is vote for each others' absurd compensation packages, no smartness required. It's a true circlejerk.
Some CEOs I’ve met aren’t smart.
The vast majority that I’ve worked with are deeply analytical, highly intelligent and understand people really well. By any measure they are “very smart”.
But what all CEOs are, like most people who get to that level, is incredibly disciplined and willing to sacrifice almost anything to achieve at work. They work insane hours, at least all the ones I’ve seen.
It’s a nice story that it’s just a lottery and once you’re there you’re somehow in some secret club. The reality, at least as far as I’ve seen it, is very different; it’s about what you’re willing to give up to get there.
"Now it's your time to realize your dreams," he told graduates. "The timing could not be more perfect."
My dream is a world without ultracapitalist CEOs.
My dream is that when I search something on the web I get results 100% arranged on relevance with no commercially motivated rearranging of results. I also dream about ad free OSs, but that one came true for me back in 2005 (thanks Linux!).
Well, Linux isn't totally ad free. Once you use it, you become the ad.
Ngl this is such an underrated comment haha. 😂
That is a lot closer to the truth than I’m comfortable with 🙃
I thought linux came out around 1992?
that came true FOR ME
Not everyone adopted Linux the moment it was released
Lost_My_Mind is calling Linux gay
It's one of the steps of Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism, so that checks out.
Man, I can't wait for gay space communism, gotta be more fun than this shit we got going on.
anyone else get this vibe?
Dude, yes, that's the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the picture!
This, btw, is one of the best uses of generative AI I've seen to date. 😆 Well played.
I honestly wasn't trying, I told it to stitch up two pictures. I expected a side by side, not a merger. But it looked really fucking cool
