They are desperate to be cool, it's so cringe.

I just started reading this book about Facebook and I am amazed how little they cared about how much power they had, and how oblivious they were of it.

These are companies that rule the world, but don't know what they want with it, other than for it to generate profit

This book is great! Everything you thought about Facebook (meta) is true, and worse. Highly recommended

If I had as much power as them I'd at least make dogs that can speak esperanto.
