  1. Not long ago, a high-level executive told me I didn’t have what it takes to operate at their level. Big mistake. Had you actually looked at the system and the architecture, you’d have seen what I saw and climbed on board, but your ego was too big. Within 60 days, I delivered a mic-drop performance that left them in the rearview. If you tell me I can’t do something, I won’t just prove you wrong; I’ll outperform you, outpace you, and leave your business in the dust.

    I'm tactical, ruthless, and sharp, and I see what others don't. Never judge a book by its cover. It's not because I'm not dressed in a fancy suit and have "VIP" in front of my name that I can't burn you down.

  3. 👨‍💻 Oh joy, another "disruptive" #open-source project! Eigent promises to unleash your "exceptional productivity" 🌟 as if the real barrier was the lack of a cluttered interface and not your insatiable need to scroll through cat memes. Meanwhile, developers everywhere are rushing to pretend they're actually going to use it to write better code. 🙄

  5. AI is NOT "disruptive" technology. At least not when used with "horse and carriage vs the car" and "the printing press" and "the internet" in mind.

    In fact, when the car came, it was a democratizing thing, it was disruptive, as in: the old ways where cast aside plus EVERYONE could eventually afford to own such a disruptive device.

    The printing press made books available to everyone, not just the insanely wealthy few that could afford it. The disruptive part was everybody beeing able to get educated and share more idea's with others. It was democratizing knowledge.

    The internet democratized our voices, and the sharing of knowledge even more then books. Everybody could get on, and it did not belong to a single brand of person.

    #AI . Well, it belongs to a select few. #Billionaires. I cannot run that kind of AI, I cannot train new ones, I do not have access to that kind of hardware. In other words, it is the opposite of democratizing. It is pure capitalism. It's not enabling us, it is gatekeeping it to those who have "sort of" access to it (#Subscriptions).

    AI is not #disruptive, it is #destructive. To our minds (people are going insane because of it), to our planet (using all our resources, water, electricy), to our jobs (replacing us), our art (#slop) and I shudder to think what it will destroy next.

    This is NOT the era of "bicycles for the mind" (Idiotic phrase), it is the era in history that will be remembered for how we let a few rich bastards control us to the brink of existence. The era of #enshittification

  7. every startup is like “we’re not just an app, we’re a movement” and then you open it and it’s selling AI-generated smoothies based on your zodiac sign and cortisol levels. #disruptive 🍓📉

  11. Bin kürzlich über den Artikel zu Otto Lilienthal auf Wikipedia gestolpert: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Lil

    An alle #Macher und #Manager, die einen #Plan aufgestellt haben, um #disruptive #Innovation in den folgenden 2,5 Jahren in 8 #Meilensteinen zur #Umsetzung zur bringen, die der Vorstand gemäß einer #beschlossenen #Entscheidungsvorlage #festgelegt hat:
    _So_ geht Innovation. Wie sie die Lilienthals betrieben haben.

    Aber interessiert eh keinen.

  12. ...revolutionary takeover doesnt have to be painful or violent. instead, i propose it can be fun and hilarious, while also being highly #disruptive.

    unleash the #pranksofwar!
    *#JUMANJI: fill their luxury hotels and resorts with rats, bunnies, monkeys, big dogs, flies, frogs, or bees
    *#FOAMPARTY: fill hot water tanks with liquid detergent and run every tap
    *#DUMPSTERTIPPING: self explanatory, no? ...can also be used to block exits and entrances.
    *#PINKPANTHER: add dyes to commercial washers..or?

  14. We Have To Be Deliberately Different From AI.

  16. @misc Agreed. We need #disruptive civil #disobedience on a massive scale. A general strike is great example. The first step is our personal commitment and willingness to accept the cost, individually and collectively, in service of the greater good. I believe the price of inaction would be far greater, but I worry that others might (reasonably) come to a different conclusion.

  18. $18k in UK gets you a new electric car. The base Spring Expression 45, with a 26.8kWh battery, 44bhp electric motor, 0–62mph time of 19.1 seconds, a top speed of 78mph and a range of 140 miles. You get 14in wheels, a 7in digital instrument cluster, electric front windows, AC, cruise control and rear parking sensors. No infotainment display though, instead an app for your phone that operates the multimedia. #Disruptive? #PeoplesCar? Of course not.

  20. Recent work #productivity hack I’ve discovered. Phone calls.

    I got into scheduling
    #Zoom meetings and it’s like… why? We don’t need to see each other.

    #Phones. You can pace around. Not worry about background. No need to generate a #URL.

    #Powerful and #disruptive.

  22. Government bureaucracies need occasional overhaul and rejuvenation.

    Trump’s motivation is more about #punishment and #retribution.

    His Cabinet choices point to that.

    At the Justice Department, he is prepared to fire the team that worked with special counsel Jack Smith on two indictments of the president-elect.

    More broadly, he looks to dismantle what he regards as an unresponsive and oppositional administrative state.

    Experts say what Trump, Musk and Ramaswamy are talking about
    — both in terms of money saved and workforce reductions
    — is unrealistic and that they will soon bump into political and economic realities that will leave them far short of what they claim.

    That doesn’t mean, however, that at the outset the president-elect should not be taken seriously about how #disruptive he will try to be in his efforts.

    Musk has claimed he can cut the budget by roughly $2 trillion,
    but analysts say that would require drastic (and unpopular) cuts in entitlements programs, defense or other vital services.

    #Elaine #Kamarck of the Brookings Institution, who oversaw Gore’s reinventing government initiative, offered counsel to the incoming administration in a piece on the Brookings website entitled,
    “Cut the government with a scalpel, not an axe.”

    That was the approach taken during the Clinton administration, which resulted in the elimination of 640,000 pages of internal agency rules
    and a reduction in the federal workforce of 426,000 employees.

    Kamarck, however, questioned whether the federal bureaucracy is truly bloated,
    as Ramaswamy and the Trump team claim.

    There are, she noted about 19,000 Border Patrol agents.

    How many of those would Trump cut while still making good on his promise to secure the border and deport millions?

    There are about 1,800 air traffic controllers, she said. Would Trump’s team cut that workforce significantly, causing potential flight cancellations and disruption?

    “It will take about a week and Congress will say, ‘Hey, you can’t do this,’” she said.
    
And how deeply would he try to cut the workforce at the Social Security Administration,
    at the risk of checks not being sent out promptly or other breakdowns in a program that he has otherwise vowed not to touch?
    
Kamarck offered other examples of where the Trump team could produce only symbolic victories.

    Trump has targeted the Department of Education for elimination.

    Kamarck said the department could be eliminated but two key programs likely would remain
    — the student loan program and Title 1,
    which adds to state and local governments for low-achieving students in areas of higher poverty.
    
The student loan program could be shifted to the Treasury Department
    and Title 1 to the Department of Health and Human Services, she said,
    which means a portion of its budget would be shifted rather than cut.

    Its workforce is the smallest of any Cabinet agency.

    Kamarck’s point is that after programs are shifted, the money saved might not be significant and the number of workers eliminated would be tiny.

  24. These proposals would go far beyond the #disruptive #trade wars of his first term even if they are only partially implemented. They would wrench the nation out of the system of #global interdependence that arose in recent decades, making the US #economy much more isolated & autonomous, like it was in the late 19th century. (Trump last week falsely claimed that the #UnitedStates was never richer than in the 1890s, when it had high trade barriers.)

  26. I don't know if I should be annoyed or see it as a blessing that sometimes when #sleeping my #brain will process a problem at #work, and in the morning I have a pretty good solution.

    #Anyone else have a brain that does this? I mean it's nice to have a way forward available, but it's also very #disruptive of my #sleep.

  27. "These core elements – grievances, demands, disruption, confrontation and spectacle – are present in nearly all protests.

    [But] time and again, #coverage tends to headline the parts of the protest that are sensational and #disruptive.

    And this neglects the political substance of the protests."

    theconversation.com/media-cove

    This kind of coverage also plays into the false narrative that protesters are "radicals" or even "terrorists".
    It enables that framing.

  28. #Trump’s determination to ratchet up #trade fights w/ #Beijing reflects the emerging #economic stakes of the #2024election…. Trump has floated some fanciful new ideas for his 2nd term — like building “Freedom Cities” in different parts of the #UnitedStates w/ flying cars — but has primarily focused on intensifying policies he pursued during his 1st term, such as a severe #immigration crackdown, cuts to #corporate #taxes & #disruptive new tariffs on US trading partners.
