Apparently you only want to hear from tech people who work in tech for tech's sake. Your broken survey actually prefectly demonstrates what's wrong. You say you want answers but you don't. Complete your understanding by finding the one mid-level person who advocated for better Qs and lay them off.
Tech workers, we want to hear from you! 📣What do you think of your job, your workplace, your boss, and your field in general? How satisfied are you? Are you embracing or dreading the AI revolution? Take our short survey at the link below. 👇

It’s almost time to harvest. Winter was harsh, Mercury is retrograde. An automatic calls out from the holler behind us and the thunder responds, echoing off the mountains, rumbling the ancient stones. The air is thick, the heat is oppressive.
Poor Tom, that eats the swimming frog, the toad, the tadpole, the wall-newt, and the water; that in the fury of his heart, when the foul fiend rages, eats cow-dung for sallets; swallows the old rat and the ditch-dog; drinks the green mantle of the standing pool
"As a matter of cosmic history, it has always been easier to destroy than to create." Suppose... what if this thing were used where art already existed? It would destroy such art, in favor of its new matrix.
Paramount+ wanted to use the image on the left as a poster for the wrath of Khan, so they used everyone's least favorite technology to generate the rest of the image.

It's so fucking weird that literally all of Zuckerberg's company is now just marketed directly at him, *he* is the person they are marketing at. All his products are a mirror he can look in and see himself, and he can't understand why he would want to make things other people want.

Which platforms should your streaming service support? If the answer isn’t “all of them,” you’re compromising. At Moonstone, we refuse to charge a "per-platform tax." We deploy iOS, Android, web, Apple TV, Fire TV, and Roku out of the box. Here is how we do it: 🧵

I don't know, Aaron. I think we need to take this seriously. In fact, after surveying hundreds of years of history in the past few days, I've written an article assessing the originalist case here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
