(side note: I'm genuinely unsure where we are actually supposed to post about the politics of the tech overlords. I mean, it's not really news or politics, but it is technology even less)

Should we call this the Musk effect? Feels mean to involve Streisand.

[–] jwhardcastle@dmv.social 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The Streisand Effect can be for vanity and secrecy. Trying to draw attention away from something the protagonist wants hidden brings more attention.

The Musk Effect can be for suck, for evil, for failure. Trying to draw attention away from evil brings more attention to the overwhelming amount of evil, of failure.

While I am very happy to see twitter burn, I’m gonna be that guy:

Suddenly IBM isn’t ok with nazis? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_and_the_Holocaust

I’m mostly being facetious, because I know things change and maybe that is why IBM is so zero tolerance.

It was 90 years ago dude. Next up, you're gonna be shocked to find that Mistibishi makes cars and HVAC units instead of Imperial Japan kamikaze bombers.
