France and Germany now looking to join Italy in banning ChatGPT rather than focusing on how to build their own AI industry. This is what terminal cultural decline looks like. Not with a bang but a bureaucracy. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1643892463172501504

This is freaky and awesome. Finland sprays its reindeer’s antlers with reflective paint to keep the number of animal-car accidents down.

Interesting facts about Automattic:

1. The FTC doesn't fine them
2. Congress doesn't demand answers from their CEO
3. No one wants to break them up
4. No Netflix documentaries have been made about them
5. No one has held them responsible for the destruction of society

They are so scandal-free, the average Joe doesn't even know they exist.

I get a lot of developers and entrepreneurs asking me for advice on a potential social media product.

Usually -- almost always -- I ask them: would you rather be Meta or Automattic?

At first, most of them think they want to be Meta. But then when I show them the stats on Automattic, many of them reconsider.

Sure, Meta attracts the Press.

Yet Automattic attracts good will and sustainability -- something Meta doesn't have.
