>What hurts the most: I deleted my account. At some point it became undeleted. I don't have the ability, as far as I'm aware, to kill it. My profile lives on to enrich the people who betrayed the writers. Kind of sad, but it was all about engagement. Ad dollars.

This sounds horrific and ironic when Quora's founder is on the OpenAI board with a role to supposedly oversee ethics. But, after all he was the CTO of a company that pioneered putting tracking pixels everywhere, so this is just typical silicon valley stuff.




I wouldn't call it horrific (though I guess others might). I'm inclined to think it wasn't intentional. It certainly doesn't keep me up at night, and it's not like I regret anything that I posted on the account. I just find it disrespectful that I'm prevented from expressing my dissent around the company's reversal of its original premise.


exactly lol. quora is shit, poe is shit. it's like everything he builds and touches eventually evolves into a cancer to the society.

if you'll put drug cartels on one end of a spectrum, he'll be on the opposite end where everything he did sure is legal but definitely monetized and ruined the same amount of lives.
