“I keep thinking about all of the opportunities that were denied to us because of our exclusion [...] All of us have [...] been laid off from Deck Nine, and most of us are still looking for jobs. I have been out of work for a year. Imagine what it could have done for our careers if we had been allowed to go on stage and speak?"

RE: masto.ai/@Nonilex/115929279266

Hard to see these deal&asset numbers and comprehend lay-offs.

If the main burden are elaborate stage sets, star singers, and exec payouts, maybe thats were the razor should be placed first??

Reuse your stage sets, train your own singers, and stop paying a premium for execs that cant make sustainable decisions.

AI needs to be used with the required awareness of its limits and a grain of salt. Damn it, it is not rocket science, dudes. It is a tool, not the damn #silverbullet
