Slack is already owned by Salesforce. Adobe tried to buy Figma but competition authorities blocked it. Notion is still owned by its founders and funders.

CRM as a service with a fucking ton of whatever dumb bullshit they think they might be able to sell you on top

the CRM as a service bit more or less works? probably? with work at your end? We use it at the day job and it’s like better than not. It’s the ultimate boring-but-functional product for enterprises.

Sam Bankman-Fried interviewed by Puck News!

this has been going around to great publicity from all!

it’s an insufferably vapid and self-serving rehash of Sam’s late 2022 crime confession tour. i can see why Puck grabbed for the exclusive, but jesus fuck nobody needs to hear from this conman again. Anyway, this copy isn’t paywalled.
