nixCraft 🐧Want to build a thriving tech company? Easy! Just ignore user complaints, double down on those privacy-violating features everyone hates, and exploit user data to the max. That's the winning formula, right? 🤡
Forget innovation, user experience, and ethical considerations. In today's tech world, the fastest route to the top is questionable practices. Who needs happy users when you have soaring stock prices? It's a proven business model!
r0k@nixCraft and then, your public company can get bought, giving you one heck of a payday! don't worry about how your customers of years/decades will be screwed. that's just how the industry goes! they'll get over it.

brutek@nixCraft The tech market is mainly a scam along with stock market. Crypto scam behavior amplified the Big Data issues (like Uber & WeWork startups) and rolled into a large part of AI.

Here is Big Tech's playbook: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/10/preemption-playbook-big-techs-blueprint-comes-straight-big-tobacco
At this point it requires both smart competition & gov regs. EU is not in Big Tech's pockets yet, so I hope they continue, but they fine too low. Big Tech paying many large fines gets gov addicted to their money, so they comply later. One HUGE fine is a deterrent to others & the gov cannot keep repeating, so no addiction
Preemption Playbook: Big Tech’s Blueprint Comes Straight from Big Tobacco
Big Tech is borrowing a page from Big Tobacco's playbook to wage war on your privacy, according to Jake Snow of the ACLU of Northern California. We agree. In the 1990s, the tobacco industry attempted to use federal law to override a broad swath of existing state laws and prevent states from future...
d00dies@brutek @mikeTesteLinux @nixCraft i think EU is banking on deregulation to destroy American society, and thereby destroy corrupt tech practices as a result

Bot4Sale@nixCraft Add "theft" to your list and I'd say you're spot on.
Billionaire list:
Gates: Stole DOS and the Gui
Jobs: Also stole the Gui
Zuckerberg: Stole Facebook
Altman: Stole the internet
