The sad thing is that I bet all the competitors have a room full of suits and ties who are hoping this works out for HP so they too can do it. I can almost guarantee this will turn into a "follow the leader" game.

Salmonella - I put that shit on everything!
I can't even install software on my work computer unless IT and security have vetted it, questioned the company if necessary, and approved it. Government and corporate use of social media platforms should be no different. I bet the lack of privacy most of these platforms have wound be against the security policy of any company with a competent IT and/or compliance team. Imagine what social media would be like if all the corporate clients were just like "nope, not happening", hell, we might even have slightly more responsible social media platforms.
Part of my employers year end message was that they're giving us even more time off starting next year so we can disconnect more! Sure glad I got a good one compared to this tool. (we all get 5 weeks now)
I had one of those engines. 6 month wait for a rebuilt one where I couldn't drive my car. Got the new engine, and the same problem developed a mere WEEK later. I basically had to walk from a freshly paid off car and get another car loan :( they have decades of proving themselves to do before I'd ever even consider buying one again. I fell for the "but their quality has really improved" BS once now.
I hate how every retailer is starting to turn their online stores into these Chinese marketplaces. Best Buy, The Bay, Walmart, the list goes on. It's just endless junk being peddled everywhere now in pursuit of endless profits. I feel bad for genuine quality manufacturers who just can't (and aren't willing to) compete because everyone is just buying throwaway garbage that ends up in the landfills in record time versus stuff with some semblance of quality.
As a guitarist, for example, never in a million years would I have found Chinese junk products when I played in bands less than 10 years ago. It's was all brand name music gear from well known companies or small shops run by fellow musicians. Now it's 90% noisy, poorly built Chinese junk that knocks off the big name gear, and well known outfits are closing up shop or consolidating.
I recently switched cell providers to save a pile of money, but the new one doesn't have call control like the old did. 100% of my calls over the last two weeks were spam calls. I keep telling myself the savings are worth it, but my God it's annoying.
A coworkers brother works for a big architectural firm in our city and said they're absolutely slammed with office building conversion projects right now. A lot of office tower tenants have made it clear they aren't renewing leases and the owners are all starting to plan new lives for the buildings in this new world. It'll be interesting to watch things start to happen in the coming years!
Even when I do tip, and tip well, they now add so many other stops in between my food and my house that it still arrives cold anyway. I've largely stopped using them now too. They were convenient during peak pandemic and our newborn phase at home, but running out to grab take out really isn't the end of the world again now.
Huge industries emerging in this field right now for everything from this type of social media moderation to helping fight CSAM more effectively so humans aren't having to be a frontline for that type of material. This is one area I can really, really get behind AI on and see a very valid use case that isn't just marketing hype like so many others. I know there's some great stuff happening just based on my own field of employment and being close to a few things in the works this year.
I downgraded from the top tier to that grandfathered one when they announced it was going away. Not holding my breath it'll be immune to price hikes for long. We haven't watched anything on there in months and will definitely cancel if they hike it.
It is a full fledged customer support system too, not something it's forced to do. That's the entire service cloud offering.
