The only shocking thing here is that they fired her instead of giving her 7 days of unpaid leave for violating the department’s password sharing policy or some such nonsense.

Silicon Valley has become a cancer on the world. There are too many companies run by greedy, unhinged psychopaths who do not care how their products and services affect the world. It’s not just Thiel’s companies. It’s Meta and Google and Apple and Amazon and Uber and OpenAI.

The only thing Silicon Valley is missing is a series of volcano lairs for their founders and CEOs.

My conspiracy theory is that they intentionally made the internet search engines awful to force us to use AI.
