Look who's critiquing maps again. 🤦
TL;DR: Ken is publishing a shitty, sloppy, generated map every day, as part of an official ICA 'engagement' whatever, maps which often have the same pitfalls he's critiqued countless times over the years, including bad projections, omitting island countries, and overall goofiness.
@hareldan you think this is some AI-assisted/automated social media growth plan? Interesting to see how influencers/content creators will weather the incoming content storm. more and more content fighting for smaller smaller pool of attention
@maphouse @hareldan Ken is either dying inside because he is being forced to do this because of some AI-thruster influence, or he's already dead inside.
@geospacedman @maphouse Have you seen Esri lately?
@hareldan @geospacedman @maphouse From my perch as an Esri watcher since 1991- less vocal these days, but as vigilant as ever- I can confirm that these days Esri is a hot mess. No direction. A rudderless raft. Or, rather, a flotilla of hundreds of tiny rudderless rafts left to their own devices to float whichever way the current takes them. Or sink.
@geospacedman @maphouse @hareldan I think it's a case of "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." 😬
