@cwebber "haha yes we own the entire internet isn't that cool :)"

@cwebber Not that I needed any further backing for this talking point but.... the disconnect is strong in techbros.

[kye@tech.lgbt]

@cwebber But lava lamps!

AI isn’t the harbinger of bleak youth unemployment—it is quite the opposite.

if this came from the Onion it would be hilarious. Unfortunately this is a disgusting ghoul.

@cwebber educate me! I’m an old school Cloudflare fan but like all tech companies, I’m not surprised if they became corrupted or otherwise unethical. Just not up to date.

@treefifty @cwebber I kinda guessed this would have been Matthew Prince. Well, for what it's worth, some interesting technological approaches are parked in CF for the moment. Can't say I like the way this is going though...

@cwebber What IP addresses or domains do Cloudflare own so I can add them to my uBlock list?

[be@floss.social]

@cwebber People were pointing out how they hired the same number of interns as people they just fired, saying they're replacing seniors with interns. Now the CEO is explicitly confirming that as a brag in the Wall Street Journal.

@mast0d0nphan @cwebber half the web

@cwebber why are these people so boring? "i optimize for the stupid simplest metric possible, ROAR!"

zooming out or squinting or something it seems like a cult worshipping ignorance

super hard and super interesting and super meaningful unsolved (or insufficiently-solved) problems abound, but this silliness is just shirking all the gritty cool shit, isn't it?

[riverpunk@defcon.social]

@cwebber as a college student currently trying very hard to find internships and failing, this is very distressing to read. Hadn't realized the applicant density was quite that high...

[riverpunk@defcon.social]

@cybertailor @mast0d0nphan @cwebber half is a very conservative estimate I feel like

[mo@mastodon.ml]

@mast0d0nphan they publish the list of subnets, but blocking them would break...imo too much
Russian government is blocking them, and it's one of the most disastrous blocks they ever did

@cwebber I'm thinking about applying to Harvard, because right now my chances of getting into an elite Ivy League school are better than the chances of my resume getting past AI gatekeepers and into human hands
