Some ideas:

1. Profile quality (and honesty) varies wildly. Peacock and dishonest profiles dominate.

2. There is no Hobsons choice mechanism to force rotation among matches.

3. There are no incentives to respond or follow up.

4. Fake profiles benefit the platform but you have a bootstrap problem if you have no users. Plausible AI fakes will make this worse

5. There is no web of trust- if someone meets someone they could assert trust even at a low level. If I trust anyone in their web this would vet against fake profiles.

I could go on...

You may be literally correct, but the purchase of an ad company makes that literal assumption likely wrong.

The ambiguous nature of the changes favor some shady self dealing. Sorry.

Exactly, which is why buying a homeless drug addict a coffee and a sandwich means he can shift that money into drugs.

And why "humanitarian aid" to countries at war allows budgets to be shifted to weapons instead of food and medical supplies.

Sometimes you just can't do the seemingly obvious "right thing"

You may just end up with the "tipped cashier" effect where wages are driven down on rationale that they will be tipped.

Now if you buy a self serve coffee in a paper cup the cashier whose sole job is to take your money, expects a tip because their wages are shite.

Isn't this the "New York keeping it real" 'tude they are so proud of?

Not being flippant, I'm serious. That's what I've heard.

In peesonal experience, I found New Yorkers to be far friendlier than 99% of Bay Area baristas, so there's that.

No librewolf for android. Any suggestions O wise ones?

Complacency is not just feeling good, but doing so while ignoring a risk.

You can feel good about addressing risks, the opposite of complacency.

Damn. How did they write code before 1992?

Where are the low level CEOs vs high level CEOs?

I'll bet AI could do their jobs right now.

Can SOMEONE please write AI software to replace these people?

Despite the lack luster coding performance, AI has PROVEN its able to provide a rationale for profit taking job cuts, layoffs, reduced stock grants, and increased executive bonuses.

So it's not ALL bad news.

Exactly. Slash staff, tweak job titles and descriptions, hire them back at lower wages and/or as contractors.

Go Zuck.

I don't disagree, I think some disasters will be or are being made.

However, he needs these groups to some extent to roll back regulations. He can't be assured existing people will play ball.

So with hand picked cronies with no job security pushed to run the show over the ones with some job security he can push for deregulation.

If disasters happen along the way he can blame Brandon er Biden, etc and sell a heroic fix for profits.
