RepostedSteve Yegge@Steve_YeggeCan we all just pause for a sec and reflect on how fucking important Tailscale is, and how nobody ever talks about them? I don't think I've ever seen a more useful service with a more invisible corporate footprint.

Reposteddax@thdxrhere's the argument some ai lab employees are making - they genuinely believe what they're working on might kill everyone - they continue to work on it because if this thing gets built it should be by responsible people like them - the reason they do money things like selling enterprise deals and IPOing is solely to fund this effort if this is all true then why is employee equity a thing? if you want to tell this story of being terrified of what you're building it doesn't work when there's a clear profit motive it's particularly weird when people vest and then leave and write a tirade about how these companies are bringing the end of everything if you want to act like this is the manhattan project, those scientists didn't have equity in something that gives them generational wealth you don't get to say something bad is happening while profiting off it and also being seen as the good guy. one of these has to go
