“Mark Zuckerberg has a theory” oh great, he’s trying very hard to figure out why the CEO of Meta decided to do layoffs? That’s great.

That’s great, Mark, but what happens when you’ve systematically broken the trust and social contracts between yourself and us normal people so consistently and for so long that we all just decide to come for you with hatchets and pitchforks and AR-15s (because this is indeed America)? Is that the accelerationist future you want?

He’s building a bunker… So yes, yes it is what he wants. He thinks he can successfully hide from it.

Be that as it may, he has to be lucky and survive, every time, for the rest of his life. Some random disgruntled vigilante only needs to get lucky once.

“Benefits of being leaner” sounds a lot better to investors, than “we bet the farm on virtual reality having some undiscovered practical use, and we haven’t been able to find one”.

Is it because they’re money-grubbing wankers?

It’s because they’re money-grubbing wankers, isn’t it?
