www.di.se Arbetsmarknaden överlever AI DEBATT: Att några techbolag blir effektivare och kan lösa stora problem med färre utvecklare innebär inte automatiskt att det blir färre anställningar i hela… I’m told at least seven advertisers have dropped @karaswisher @profgalloway @PivotPod @ProfGMarkets On with Kara Swisher and Raging Moderates, for their incessant calls for the execution of Elon Musk — and their joking about the assassination attempt on President Trump.View quoted post on X
I don’t believe in censorship, but advertisers need to decide if they support political violence and this kind of rhetoric
It’s extremely dangerous and disgraceful
I don’t know why a tech company would pay Scott and Karen $10m a year each to endorse violence.
Why pay for Prof G’s private jet and $4,000 hotel suites that he brags about constantly?!?
Disagree with Elon and Trump as much as you want — I certainly do — but endorsing political violence is unacceptable.
Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:
“It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.
“There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.
“If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the ‘medicine closet’ and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That’s why you should always have a nutrition choice!
“Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity.”View quoted post on X
