Technology

You work for such a company and/or use its products? You're part of the problem. You helped create the predator that will devour you.

It's really simple NOT to use the products. And you will also find a job elsewhere if you managed to land one there.

"Mark Zuckerberg is realizing there's a limit to ruthless efficiency".

Cost cutting is not synonymous with efficiency. It's sad that a business focused magazine doesn't see through the bullshit.

• Losing 70+ billion on the failed VR experiment and laying off workers related to VR has zero to do with efficiency. It's just stopping losses without having any other positive effects. No efficiency gain here because the whole thing is mothballed.
• Putting AI bros in decision making positions and demoting highly payed engineers who actually know how the platform works to AI training babysitters: Not very efficient so far because the fuck ups are getting costly quickly.

There is more, but why should I give a fuck about Meta. Let this dumpster fire burn.

It's "its".

Also, thou shalt not editorialise headlines.

Burn it to the ground

Break it up like Ma Bell.

keep making the same fundamental error: treating his employees as if they're not human beings deserving of respect and care.

It's not just Meta. It's capitalism driven by financialization with sociopaths at the helm. It's not an error. It is essential. Whatever changes they might make to increase their profits, they will not include actually caring about employees as human beings. AI might produce memos that better conceal the callous exploitation and fraudulently proclaim caring, but it doesn't care either.

i promise you Facebook (not Meta, Facebook is the company's name) has not reached its breaking point, it will continue to get much worse.

Fear and surprise, no prob. Ruthless efficiency = pushback. Fanatical devotion to the Pope -- WATCH OUT BRO.

Enshitification in real time
