I definitely want to hear more deep thoughts from the guy who claimed Elon Musk's purchase of twitter would "extend the light of consciousness"

Conversations w Jack Dorsey are always illuminating. Here he argues how massive Block layoffs signal how companies must drastically transform in the AI age. He also comments on Twitter, Bluesky, politics and journalism. And WIRED! .https://www.wired.com/story/jack-dorsey-explains-block-layoffs/

you'll notice there's absolutely no depth of bad judgement that's disqualifying for treating these guys like hybrid philosopher geniuses provided they still retain the immense wealth they backed into ass first

You just KNOW Jack Dorsey is very very smart because a decade into trumpism and he's still somehow oblivious to the uniquely cancerous threat posed by fascism

This is so utterly gormless and anodyne in the face of something that is actually not confusing but crystal clear. Dorsey is either genuinely incredibly naive or very very dishonest.

well you see there is a red team and a blue team and the red team went really far out into doing red team stuff but now the blue team is also doing too much blue team stuff and so

Every single time a new outlet feels compelled to interview an unremarkable billionaire they should pause and ask themselves if there isn't an under-represented artist, scientist, activist, engineer, or academic actually doing useful/interesting things that's more deserving of your readership's time

There is absomuteky nothing Jack Dorsey has to say that's remotely unique or interesting and it's embarrassing when editors and people of prominence pretend otherwise

"I was on the board of a company that was created solely to compete with my old company but then my new company started to do what it was created to do so I had to leave." -Jack Dorsey

WTF is he dissing Bluesky? Gone to the other 'ideology'? YEAH! That is why we are here. Less cruel, mean trolls + hateful racists. NO ONE telling me I can't call myself A YID. Jews are Yids. X repeatedly punished me for saying I'm a YID aka a Jew! That's why I left X! Fuck X's ideology! Fuck Dorsey!

Does X know YIDS created modern entertainment. Broadway, movies, from radio, TV, JEWS aka YIDS were behind the MAJOR development, productions + in front of audiences? Was it political activism + cultural activities, and SCIENTIST that X objects to giving credit to Yids? That's why they silenced me?

I dunno if X savvy enuf to know YIDs were 19th century social justice warriors! Yids fought against the Russian czars + others. Yids in early 20th century America fought for labor laws, 8 hr workdays, overtime + doubletime + against child labor. Of course safer food. BEFORE politicians enacted laws.

"When the bombs hit in Iran, I thought of Jack Dorsey" is one of those ledes that should have gotten an immediate strikethrough from an editor.

Masked federal agents shooting citizens in the street. Kidnapping foreign dictators. Daily infringements on the first Amendment. Systemic cover-ups of child abuse and blatant corruption for all to see. Who's to say, really?

I don’t think there’s been a time in my adult life where a person could honestly say both sides are the same, but to do it in 2026?? And then act like it doesn’t really matter anyway?

Yeah it's so confusing -- one side is starting a war but the other side is just so annoying😩 Not sure what's so newsworthy about what he is saying to merit a feature!

capitalist faux-meritocracy has culminated in treating this man as a Platonic philosopher-king because he has the most money, even though when you scratch the surface he's kind of dumb, and immature enough to be invested in the attention and approval of random teens online

It's so embarrassing how they fawn over these hashtag visionaries who repeatedly say the dumbest, most fantastical stuff. Sam Altman was talking about building a Dyson sphere around our solar system to power AI. Why do we listen to these people?
