This decision has more to do with their VC funding than AI. Mythos provided a nice excuse.

Cal.com just threw away their major differentiator in a market dominated by calendly. Giving some former interns the job of running the project was th icing on the cake. Let’s check in on them in 12 months.

Good book. I ā€œreadā€ it last year through audible. TL;DR: Dorsey is a dick. Elon is a bigger dick. A bunch of the leadership didn’t know how to lead. Lots of anecdotes to back all this up.

This is a bit of a novel idea, but how about employers pay their staff good wages, then the workers get to decide how they spend their money? Some may buy tokens. Others might opt for groceries, and save a bit towards a holiday. The really smart ones will engage in insider trading on polymarket.

Someone think of the car! If DXC paid proper wages they may not be able to afford to put their logo on Ferrari’s F1 cars.

At this point getting groceries delivered is way more civilised. Supermarkets are running a mass experiment on how much bullshit customers will tolerate. They keep one upping each other and getting away with it because of the cosy duopoly.
