  6. 🤖 Ah, the profound wisdom of outsourcing all thinking to tools because why bother with intelligence when you can just... not? 🙄 Behold, the future where AI models are glorified #middlemen in a never-ending relay race of passing tasks to actual working programs. 🏃‍♂️💨 But hey, at least they're specialized—like a toaster pretending to be a master chef. 🍞🍳

    If the company is spelled "Fiverr" (or Fiverrr, who knows how many superfluous Rs they want), I believe their business model is letting people pay tiny, tiny sums to exploited workers in other, cheaper parts of the world for one-off tasks, and sticking themselves in the middle of it to suck out the marrow.

    You know, things like "Why hire a talented and experienced graphic designer when you can request a new company logo and offer $10 to someone in Cambodia who will actually receive $4?"

  12. We as #Norwegians have followed daddy #USA so much that our brains can't fathom a way forward that isn't "copying our way to success".

    No, we don't want a Norwegian #AWS, nor do we need one. We should be copying what we did with electrical companies decades ago and #socialize #cloud infrastructure through localized services that are interchangeable.

    But i think that we're so used to #NewPublicManagement, #BusinessOfComplexity and #Middlemen business that we can't see beyond our nose.

  16. #FTC Sues #PBMs for Jacking Up Insulin $
    "3 largest pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs)— #middlemen [aka #parasites] tt sit btw #patients, drug cos, & pharmacies in #prescriptiondrug trxns—for practices tt hv spiked the cost of #insulin by over 1200% over the past 2 decades.. PBMs use formularies to provide exclusive or near-excl use of certain types of insulins.. PBMs aren't preferring lowest-price insulins, but ones tt give them highest #rebates, which is how they #profit"

  17. The discussion of what news media calls "price controls" needs to be framed a bit differently.

    It's not "price controls" ala Nixon and 1971 gas prices.

    It's Stopping the Scalping by pharmaceutical, food, entertainment ticket mongers and other #middlemen #parasites that infest the US #economy.

    The goal is not to limit consumption of a resource, it's to limit illegal unreasonable #profits of #amoral #corrupt #monopolistic #corporations.

  19. As an example: I am currently in a "self-contained" (sort of) health care system attached to a particular medical group. (It's weird.)

    For the first time in years, I have no obvious connection to United healthcare. And yet, when their billing service was attacked and caused all those problems, it even affected our system: literally breaking a lot of the internal systems. (I had to bring paper!)

  21. "a large # of #students in #Thailand r deprived of vital nutrients in their diet, farmers in the country r also suffering fr an #unsustainable #foodproduction system .. bec they r forced to opt for #intensivefarming & hv to sell their crops cheaply to #middlemen .. even tho the govt claims to be supporting organic farming, organic farmers still don't get enough backing .. their lack of access to markets also makes them financially unstable, which deters others from switching to #organicfarming"

  22. More than a year into Vladimir Putin’s invasion, the web of global trade has adjusted to Western sanctions, with a #network of #middlemen sending cars, electronics and more to #Russia.
