My explore tab has been pretty fine. I adblocked the sidebar, though, so not sure the quality of those.

Seems like as long as I keep consistent theming of likes, it's good. If you get too wide in breadth then it quickly goes downhill, so I use Freetube to watch certain genres (coding videos, etc.)

Yeah, there's breakdowns where events are tied close enough that they could be seen as de facto firing for race/salary, etc.

Of course, this is all coming from a NYPost article, so I'm assuming it's leaving out some details.

It's bad optics (and I personally think the company can piss off), but I don't think they technically broke the letter of the law. Colorado doesn't have good faith exemptions to at-will so as long as it wasn't a protected class thing, I think they can do whatever they want, AFAICT

*edit: I guess discussing wages is protected(?) (https://www.jacksonlewis.com/resources-publication/colorado-...) - but they didn't pick the reason, so I guess it boils down to how good lawyers are

Yeah, but that still feels like an edge case compared to the hundreds of small software assets produced by companies every day. In most cases those things don't even have the potential to get to an "Oh god we pissed off Oracle" size

Why? Because as a matter of basic legal hygiene, I expect that orga­ni­za­tions that create software assets will have to forbid the use of Copilot and other AI-assisted tools

I feel like this understates the wild west nature of software in non-tech Fortune 500
