ME: You need to give me $400m. I will make an app that is god
MASAYOSHI SON: You need $400 billion. No, $500 billion

We need a universally agreed upon short term for what a Bluesky “tweet” is called. Anyone? All I’ve seen is “skeet” which, is simply a nonstarter.

Quick question are these the same chatbots being forced upon us by Microsoft and Google et al that cannot perform basic computer tasks reliably?

I’m old enough to remember Adam Neumann’s “community-based EBITDA.”

What if No One Misses TikTok? TikTok’s cultural footprint in America is huge. Why is its disappearance being met with a shrug?
