Honestly, this hits on what is perhaps a generational shift.
I am seeing challenges in the workplace because people literally don't read the parts of docs they're not tagged in.
We expect EVERYTHING to be brought to us, instead of looking more broadly, trusting that there is value in discovery.

This is excellent:
New one about record shopping in the 90s, how intentional discovery used to be, how algorithms have taken that away from us and why we should probably start putting in the work again. (It's about games eventually, promise)

In true Shannon fashion, I am watching yet another TV show way after it was established to be very fun. Brooklyn 99, Parks and Rec, The Office. Late to the game.
I started watching Bridgerton for Spring Break. So drama, very delight.

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

Gonna have to buy Boston Kreme donuts to tuck in with when my copy arrives 🍩💕
You can still order it from me directly, and I will personalize it, throw in a hidden story, some stickers, and FUCK ICE whistles. www.mulebooks.com/store/how-to...
But if you’re NOT in the US… first of all: congrats. Secondly, you can save yourself some shipping by going to a local vender.

Remember how hard tech bros marketed this as being the “inevitable future” (see: @tressiemcphd.bsky.social) that we all HAD to get onboard with and would make trillions of dollars and disrupt life as we know it?

We’ve lost all concept of this, but government services are not supposed to be profit making enterprises. government services are not publicly traded corporations. They are, and I can’t stress this enough, government services

Brutal stuff. The hyperscalers are a death cult now. Meta has burned $100bn+ on nothing and human beings will suffer for it
Sources: Meta plans sweeping layoffs that could affect 20% or more of the company, amid mounting AI infrastructure costs; it had ~79,000 employees as of Dec. 31 (Reuters)
