Counter point. If you’re willing to throw trans people under the bus to try to win over transphobic voters you deserve to be cancelled.
If you’re willing to cancel Pete Buttigieg because you disagree with one thing he said, your level of intolerance is off the charts. We need to be able to disagree with others without writing them off.

Klarna admits AI isn’t as good as human workers, but this story suggests it’s “hiring” two types of human customer support now: freelancers or an “Uber type of setup.”
It sounds like the AI strategy served its purpose after all: to turn employees into contractors.

As Klarna flips from AI-first to hiring people again, a new landmark survey reveals most AI projects fail to deliver

since we’re now in the golden age of Crybullyism i think it’s worth reiterating: if you actually have strong principles it means they don’t change based on whether or not people like you.
people who say “i tried to be X but you forced me to be Y” were always Y, and now they’re just gaslighting you.

The only way to prevent gigantic SUVs & pickups from killing pedestrians is to reduce car bloat.
Technology alone won’t do it – even if automakers claim otherwise.

Note: NHTSA's proposal to restrain car bloat is not a done deal.
After the comment period ends, NHTSA could enact the proposal as is, water it down, or shelve it.

Finally, the Biden administration is taking a stand against car bloat.
NHTSA has proposed banning SUV/pickup hood designs that are especially likely to cause head injuries.
In Fast Company, I explained why this could be a watershed moment. 🧵
