Yeeeah... The similar-but-different thing I've been dealing with is "X is a problem (because of AI), so we're going to use AI to 'fix' it, even though that'll cause more X". But oh well, they're making me redundant so I just have to grit my teeth through the meetings for a little while longer.

Good luck, every one of them is apparently committed to making everything worse no matter what 🙄

Special type of stupid required to *start* trying to cash in on a bubble as all the major players start quietly engaging their exit plans. And to just constantly gesture at the idea of the future while you do it

Good luck solving this now you've made half the company redundant in the hopes this would be the magic trick to bring all the VC money in! I'm sure burning your company to the ground on the promise you could make things worse in a futuristic way was worth it.

So sorry you had to deal with that too... Why can't they just be normal, for one second.

Hey yeah, it's awful right?? I dropped it there and haven't gone back. Really hard to indulge in some dumb comedy when it's brimming with hatred for fully half of people.

This made me realise I need to have some similar conversations. Fuck.

removing a trans person's connection to the internet is an act of deliberate social isolation with intent to 'convert' and everyone knows it

Thanks 🫂 I'll be okay, the notice period/redundancy pay for this one at least makes it easier to plan around. But still Not Best Pleased.
