Wow, it's like they're trying to win a prize for the most evil corporation ever...

It’s a right race. I think Amazon is still ahead though.

Amazon makes a product that actually works...as shitty as what they do to small businesses (and their own employees), their product does what it's advertised to do...

I don't see Amazon trying to get me to hate people the way Meta does...

I don’t think Amazon has participated in a genocide

My last job used AI as HR, it was a nightmare. Screwed up all the time, had to escalate the smallest things because "Computer says "no"".

They were folding in AI into IT and the warning started kicking out for using social media, YT, etc. I was a working a 24/7/365 job monitoring gear. How do you fill the hours as a babysitter/firefighter. When its not broke we just sit there.

But by those metrics they did fire a few people until they realized how hard it was to replace them... And they wanted more money.

These guys are terrible people. Hopefully meta falls under.
