I basically can't believe that BigCos let their employees just publicly rant & ridicule colleagues at competitors on here, & don't have a comms policy about this. It's just wild. Who would want to work in that department if that's the vibe? Gotta be a recruiting liability.
I dunno if ML is the worst or it's just the one I pay the most attention to. I guess these folks have been in a red-hot hiring market for so long that they get to behave however in public & it's eternal job security. Whatever the reason, it's a big problem (& a known one).
The tantrums, bad faith, hysterics, laziness, & silliness around that Meta Galactica launch -- most of it from ppl with sterling institutional affiliations in their bios -- was truly a blackpill. I actually may not even write that part of it -- it's so toxic, why give it oxygen.
The Galactica launch and some of the complaints about it raises a boatload of truly interesting questions about the current, sorry state of our scientific knowledge supply chain. I'm going to try to focus on that, & outsource the drama coverage to a few others who've handled it.
If you want to huff a bunch of toxic crazy, @ykilcher has you covered here: youtube.com
