cjd (cjd@pkteerium.xyz)'s status on Friday, 23-Feb-2024 07:46:49 JST cjd The funniest thing about this whole Gemini debacle is that there's no possible way this could have been a "mistake" or a "rogue employee". People knew they were releasing this.
And that creates a really tough situation for Google management because they know it's an adult daycare, their investors know it's an adult daycare, and thanks to this little fuckup, it's becoming more and more ridiculous for anyone to even play-act that it's anything other than an adult daycare.
Tech investors aren't stupid, they watched Musk take an absolute pig of a platform and cut the team by 90% while still keeping it running. The calls between activist investors and Google management must be exceedingly tense.- on-lain ✔ᵛᵉʳᶦᶠᶦᵉᵈ likes this.

cjd (cjd@pkteerium.xyz)'s status on Friday, 23-Feb-2024 07:47:48 JST cjd There's a lot of play-acting.
Like the management knows they're bitch-whipped, the investors know they're the idiots who invested in a rudderless firm, but nobody really wants to say the thing out loud so they dance around the topic and hope it will somehow go away.
But when you have a little blowup like this one, it tears away the veil and suddenly nobody can really keep up the show anymore...on-lain ✔ᵛᵉʳᶦᶠᶦᵉᵈ likes this. -

Imagine you get a call from a Saudi prince saying "Hey WTF is going on in this Google company you walked me into? Do I look like a racial justice charity?!!"on-lain ✔ᵛᵉʳᶦᶠᶦᵉᵈ likes this. -

I've been aloof for several days. An 80 hour work week will do that. The Speaker was here today for a fundraising event for our Congressman and then thr Congressmans grand opening. I couldn't make either.

cjd (cjd@pkteerium.xyz)'s status on Friday, 23-Feb-2024 07:51:08 JST cjd Seems just a bit too fast. If the CEO wants to win back investors, he should announce performance evaluations and sweeping layoffs tomorrow. Then he can take the next 6 months to actually implement it. -

Stephen Brooks 🦆 (sjb@mstdn.io)'s status on Saturday, 24-Feb-2024 14:41:32 JST Stephen Brooks 🦆 @lain @cjd @harblinger The Gemini thing is staggeringly stupid, but Google's search is getting worse too. So perhaps generalised corporate rot has set in?
