@alshafei Love Malicious compliance.
@alshafei it could explain why several sites I used to shop at and went back to them recently, to discover they are now using shopify, are so shitty.

These effects are as expected by many of us because we understand #LLM technology, what it does and how it works, and had a basic understanding of how humans would respond to it.
That CEOs understand neither shows that they lack key abilities, and that the system has been giving money to people who don't know what they're doing.
They might do better to replace CEOs with chatbots than discard regular employees, who have always been the real source of value.
@alshafei it really frustrates me knowing how many people this goblin fired to abide by his tech-lord manifesto. Disrupting entire families. While they were, perhaps stupidly, trying to defend his company from becoming shit and wasting everyone's time. These people suck so bad.
@alshafei of course this is an individual problem... The CEO

@alshafei He wanted the FA but not the FO, and now he can FO^2 (Find Out and Fuck Off).
@alshafei I think we all know who the slop grenade is in this story.
@alshafei “slop grenade” is such a good expression
@alshafei who could have possibly foreseen etc
@alshafei The fool outed himself as a fascist before Shopify achieved monopoly status. As merely one of several online payment processors Shopify is easy to live without.
