    Okay, so the Salesforce CEO is a Nazi sympathizer too

    This is becoming quite the list, though most of it is just “extremely rich people”

    Just wow. I honestly don’t see how we can continue as a unified country with folks like this pulling at the levers. My whole life and understanding of what this country is and means has been a lie. I’ve become quite disillusioned.

    SalesForce also owns Slack and Tableau, in case you now need to find non-nazi platforms to migrate toward.

    Remember, non-US alternatives are good, but be aware that fascism is metastasizing globally, don’t assume a non-US alternative is automatically safe. To beat this, we need to use due diligence in all things.

    I really hope people in tech are paying attention. We could use more people discovering class consciousness in our field. There’s too many temporarily-embarrassed billionaires among us.

      I was warned Friday that my anti-AI stance would get me fired by the morons in management pushing AI they know nothing about

        Yo, do not let your anti-AI stance be known in the corpo. If you don’t plan to quit for your own reasons, keep your class consciousness and other “unaligned” views away from management. Instead, keep management content and help your coworkers. Having more comrades in corporate structures makes it easier for others to develop class consciousness without being ejected. Especially in positions of management. At the very least it’s helluvalot nicer to work under a class conscious manager than a standard corpo drone.

        If your boss wants AI usage, give 'em AI usage. If the results are not stellar and they end up spending a ton of money for it, that’ll move them in a different direction.

      No, not even then. I really don’t want corporate private police running a city. Unions fought a minor war against the Pinkertons when that happened.

        Don’t be silly! That’ll never happen. It’ll be a corporate private military running your city.
