I don’t know why you think linking the same video as was in the comment I just replied to adds any value. Are you that video’s creator? Is this all just a way to drive clicks?

You obviously didn’t watch the interview with the actual company’s CEO that I linked. Let alone read the comments under it. Let me share one.

Despite all the signs that this was a parody, I literally paid them 50 cents for a test “liberation” to see if it was a joke. The tool actually did something, but not only did it violate cleanroom logic by including implementation instructions in the documentation, but the “liberated” code runs almost twice as slow as the original. And to make it even funnier, the “liberated” code was licensed under… the exact same MIT license as the original.

So…it doesn’t do what it says it does.

It’s a company literally called “evil”. The CEO did an interviewer with an AI satirist and he completely refused to take it seriously, saying things like “we receive a lot of love letters…asking as where we live”, “we’re liberating the world of open source software”, and “if people don’t like the work that we do, they might like the work that our customers do even less, because our customers are the ones that are paying us for our services, and we’re just making our bag”.

This is obviously not a serious product.

I was honestly expecting the link to be too this: https://youtu.be/bpqFZBWcStU

Which certainly presents it as though it’s sincere. But anyone with basic media literacy and familiarity with the interviewer in that video (and I do mean and. Anyone lacking either of those can be forgiven.) cannot help but realise that it’s satire. And if you’re unsure, read the comments.

Enshittification doesn’t mean “making a good system bad”. It’s a specific process whereby the user experience of a platform is degraded in order to benefit the business partners. Then even the business partners are ripped off to benefit the platform owners.

It wouldn’t, but translating to the currency of the reader is very commonplace.

The justification they give for the figure is that it’s the lowest performing 10% according to internal key performance indicator (KPI) metrics

The thing is, that’s not what layoffs are supposed to be. That’s effectively firing someone for cause. Maybe in America the difference doesn’t matter, but in the civilised world, at least in theory, it does. But in reality they can somehow get away with this and call it “layoffs”.

If a company does layoffs, they should not be allowed to hire any staff in the same or similar roles for 12 months.

In 6 months no one will have to manually write code anymore

For the last 18 months
