Agreed, the amount of lazy people in the industry that use the guise of “unions” is really sad.

Long ago people threw their wooden shoes into the gears, in 2023 they smack their keyboards and produce hysteria + misinformation.
In both cases the new tech rolls over them.

Nobody is forced to work for Apple or any company.
If you don’t like the ethics of the business, it is very simple, don’t work for them. Stop buying and using their products.
Choice is a powerful thing.

not sharing their subs but binance was promoted over coinbase and other cryptocoin platforms. their marketing dept was pumping tons of high quality memes out.

> after talking to a chatbot named ELIZA
Ummmmm……. this ELIZA?
[EDIT] ok I found a nonpaywalled summary; not that Eliza.
> The man apparently was so anxious about climate change he started to believe AI and tech were the only way out of disaster. During his conversations Eliza reenforced these ideas, and when the man proposed sacrificing himself if Eliza could save humanity, the chatbot encouraged him.
Sad story, but I’m not sure the AI is really the main character in it.

The amount of people who are ridiculously lazy and then blame unions for not facilitating that laziness is staggering.

Looks like some people are getting reeeeally desperate to somehow get AI banned. What are the chances to read tomorrow that AI causes earth quakes and steals our children? Probably makes honest godfearing people gay as well.

So let me get this straight
They used obviously made up reasons to stay off work for extended periods of time without providing any proof, doctors notes, covid tests etc
When they were actually at work they did everything they could to not actually work to the point where other workers reported them
They shit talk the company on Facebook and name drop other employees for seemingly no reason other than they were criticised for not working
And then before they’re actually fired one of them allegedly makes another post to a private Facebook group with a Union statement about their firing. He predicted his own firing…
I’m all for unions, I’m in one, and fuck Union busting, but this quite literally just lazy employees looking for a lawsuit and leveraging their Union position to make themselves look invincible
Edit; some of the comments on Facebook about the Oklahoma store where they were fired from are … interesting, lazy rude and racist employees with a few dozen or so complaints about them in the past year alone.
also I’ll just point out that the 3 were more than likely fired for time card manipulation, Apple cracked down on it a few weeks ago, whereas the other 2 were (rightfully) fired for faking covid

This is really why I use Reddit. I hit a paywall, then just go to comments for the actual story, plus discussion.

Companies abandoning their core competencies (and losing customers in the process) in order to pursue greener pastures is a tale as old as time.
These products will be replaced by competitors eventually that prioritize the customer experience.

I don't follow this sub much, but "right-wing"? How much of the right is actually promoting crypto?

It's funny how elon talks about lords and peasants and he made twitter even more divided between the rich and the poor

imagine getting mad at your coworker for not being a good little slave. you people need to realize that doing such a nice job for your owner doesn’t actually do anything for you. if that is your meaning and reward in life i’m so sorry

No my father passed away, and after an extended time away while taking care of his affairs, I was let go.

That sounds like a bullshit excuse .
How would that even hold up in court ?

Reply to comment by oroechimaru in Alibaba to split into 6 units and explore IPOs; shares pop 7% by Ben_aid
Shareholders generally get all the parts split up to different shares.
eg: say there's a company worth $10 in stock and is being split up to 3 different parts. Shareholder's $10 can become $3 $5$1 shares and maybe $1 went out from dilutions (IPO).
