How Shareholders Are Destroying The Tech Industry

Description

The shareholder supremacy has eaten the tech industry, driving private and public companies to chase unprofitable, unsustainable ideas like generative AI as a means of expressing eternal growth to the markets. In this episode, Ed Zitron walks you through how this destructive mindset has created an entirely new kind of manager - one disconnected from labor and creation - and how the dark hand of shareholder supremacy is behind everything strange and bad in tech in the last few years.

Finally, an ad for something useful and not literally the exact thing he's spending am hour telling everyone how terrible it is! Glad to hopefully see the last of AI ads on at least this show's commercials, if not the rest of the network
