This should be a bright, blinking light catching everyone’s attention.
They are only offering it to people who quit (not fired) though? Not clear from the article.
It’s indeed worrying.
Indeed. It’s also accelerationist isn’t it? More war more investment more autonomous war and more destruction.
We all need a mirror, showing us what we cannot see because we're in the thick of it.
All of us!
Surely tech billionaires are earning so much from warfare that it’s in their interest to keep it going?
Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity in Iran from February 24, 2026, to March 7, 2026. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity, ranging from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents the dates. The green line representing Iran's connectivity normal most of the time period, with a sharp drop on the morning of February 28. The drop in connectivity aligns with nation-scale internet blackout imposed during joint military strikes by the US and Israel. The minimum and current connectivity levels are indicated as 1% and 1%, respectively. The chart has a dark background with a red horizontal arrow labeled 'SHUTDOWN', indicates the period of disruption and includes the NetBlocks logo in the lower left corner.
⚠️ Update: A full week has now passed since #Iran fell into digital darkness under a regime-imposed national internet blackout.
The measure remains in place at hour 168, leaving the public isolated without vital updates and alerts while officials and state media retain access.

You can’t say those things out loud about the staff.
"President Trump presented this as a historic generational opportunity but it's actually looking like a historic generational disaster."
Sanam Vakil (@chmenap.bsky.social) joined the BBC's Jeremy Bowen to discuss the impact of the US-Israel military strikes on the people of Iran, via BBC News.
The term for that is White supremacy and any coverage of Reform that does not include that term is complicit in whitewashing White supremacy. Sometimes things really are that simple.

Absolutely this. Normalises something extreme and dangerous.
Have written a quick post on the timeline leading to today's attacks...
A key thing to notice is how Trump et al tried to suppress dissent and independent evidence after last summer's strikes. Expect the same again now.

These are great Corey. Will you publish them?
"A workflow that can't be executed remotely feels like a loss of potential. I mean, you can still trigger it manually, or even execute it periodically. However, there's no way for it to receive programmatic requests from the outside world."

From @andrewchen, the Law of Shitty Clickthroughs (also linked in the below) now applies to all marketing channels.
All channels are late-stage, and suck.
It’s more evidence for the Elephant Curve.

I think your take on undermining people’s job security with constant restructuring is a pertinent one. It also strikes me that nothing ever gets delivered in these scenarios. Poor leadership just keep on keeping on. Can’t be blamed for being incompetent when they move to a new role every few months.
The FCC just opened public comments on SpaceX's plan to launch a million satellites to do AI compute in space. Under the current proposal, an environmental review won't be required. Please consider submitting a public comment to oppose this damaging plan.
