a lot of comments are dismissive of these generated convos because of out how obvious it is that these convos are generated. i feel like that's a high bar. you can tell that GTA5 is generated, but it's close enough to be fun. i imagine that's as close as we'll get with conversational AI

Sure Japan did it, so did Mexico. The latter is probably much more important as an example for the US.

If that includes salary compliance I’m aiming to use that as evidence to legislators about why to strengthen and how to

Ask to see all of their financials. If they have $1M, how much runway do they have? What are the other members getting paid? How close is the company to getting revenue? How much other fundraising have they done?
most start-ups I've worked for have been transparent about operating budgets and runway, but I can't think of any that would open up the books to a random employee, let alone a candidate.

What's chat? Not gchat surely? Didn't hangouts migrate to meet?
I believe so. and while it's not significantly worse, it is worse. thumbnails don't populate as consistently, the menu has me full screening a chat sometimes, it's just not as nice.
Until there are no users and reddit is a dead husk.
agreed. but as long as the investors are to move their shares during the IPO before a complete exodus occurs, they are perfectly happy with that outcome.
They should fire that incompetent CEO. It‘s sad that bad management is never punished.
he's literally doing exactly what the board wants. reddit's investors are more than happy to sacrifices users and the user experience for profitability.

I mean, I do agree, but isn't this what journalism is? Reporting on the facts? It's a thing that's happening, ergo it's news.
If there's a shooting and shootings have happened before, is that not still news? It happened after all. It's got to be better than just ignoring things because it's status quo.
this might have been news is like, 2009, but it's certainly not a new trend worth reporting.
