Why don't we abolish vulture capitalism?
And really closely regulate any residue venture capital, if it's needed at all.

@elsua54 You are missing the point with this part of #incentives.
Incentives suggests / demands you give something extra when eventually (especially Tech) you have to accept less / go back to basic protocols / interface in order to cancel out most of the bad mixed in.
Features (advertising) also did solve the problem first on a big scale such as better interface + connectability (universal sign-in) as a mainstream effort - but at cost of #mainstream #VentureCapitalism pumping / subsidising it.

💼🤦♂️ Ah, the age-old art of multitasking: juggling #geopolitics and venture capitalism like a circus act. Meanwhile, JavaScript's existential crisis continues as it waits for permission slips to load articles that no one reads. 📜🔒

I think AI has a good chance of ending venture capitalism or at least severely reducing it. Yet, it won't be by AI replacing the people behind it. More like, the AI crash will destroy most of the sector's money, forcing it to reorient itself.

Sadly I feel like the whole ethos of 21st century business ventures has been various schemes wherein one person or group Fucks Around and then everyone else Finds Out.

CW: Venture Capitalism "...gives VCs more leverage later. "
#Quote by Simon 🥧 man 🥥🌴 🇺🇸 @enmodo
Post: https://mastodon.social/@enmodo/113366794801121527
"...I worked at a VC funded startup and they let it go for two years with no interest in us making revenue. I was told by the founder this was common and gives VCs more leverage later. If you've created something good then you'll need more money to stay in business and they get more equity for continued funding because you're desperate. And if you're mediocre you're never going to be a great exit so they cut their losses and move on."

@jawarajabbi Aren't "grants" another kind of "free money" which is from a usually non-caring States that simply want to find out all the info and what they take advantage of from it and your research ?
You mentioned "philanthropic organizations" that would be help better than my description of a grant - but can you name some philanthropic organizations ? ❓
Grant doesn't seem like a good free lunch either they really do give it almost blindly / without terms and conditions (?)... that's why I'd like an example.
Who doesn't want something back like any Vampire Empire which is like the Venture Capitalist / Vulture Capitalism people talk about (in fact the head Vulture being state so not much better)..

I met a traveler from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . .
...
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”"Ozymandias"

@lettosprey Kahoot kommer nok dessverre til å bli stående som et skoleeksempel på et i utgangspunktet godt produkt som fikk sprøyta inn for mye kapital og dermed for sterkt inntjenings-press. Investorer og høy børskurs er døden for noe som burde være enkelt, greit og billig 😢

Peter "Palantir" Thiel and a load of other venture capitalists are sponsoring an openly pro-doping sports event 🤮
"Organisers of the Enhanced Games, which has been backed by venture capitalists including the billionaire Peter Thiel, have called their event the Olympics of the future. They argue that drug use in sport should be called a demonstration of science."
This says everything about their priorities and attitude to humanity...

VC Michael Rothenberg’s extravagant parties had served as inspiration for HBO’s “Silicon Valley"—but the way he spent money led to questions about if anything was amiss.

@yogthos Are we witnessing the beginning of the decline of #VentureCapitalism as a dream of getting rich through bigtech platform monopolies, #unicorns as the ultimate goal?
As awareness rises about the damaging effects of #BigTech the decentralised models are getting an influx of attention, users and funding. The latter more public and collective, reducing the need for #VC.
The beginning of the uptake of social networks based on public values.

@sotolf @dyamon hey there, thanks for the summoning 🙂
Happy to see you found my project. #keyoxide is a partial replacement for the now largely abandoned #keybase.
They had a great idea (identity) but because of #venturecapitalism they had to build additional services (storage, social network, git) in order to get an out.
Keyoxide does one thing and does it well. And, of course, in a fully open source manner. Decentralized, open standards and no blockchains.

Btw, I've totally stolen @aral's "Bullshit Tree" analogy on a comment I recently did on Reddit. But the subject is practically the same subject. Especially within an industry like Esports, that are more than plagued by #VentureCapitalism and #SurveillanceCapitalism.

#DymitriKleiner pitching his #VentureCommunism concept at #SigInt 2010:
https://www.invidio.us/watch?v=L01iiJz8ThcThis is worth a watch even if you consider yourself pro-capitalist and anti-communist, because as he explains at the start, the way he uses these terms is *totally* different from the way you do. #DougRushkoff presents pretty much the same criticisms of the effects of #VentureCapitalism on digital tech in his 'Throwing Rocks ...' book, but with a pro-business, anti-corporate framing.
