Though Benioff's shift mirrors Silicon Valley's broader accommodation of Trump, the exchange offered a rare glimpse of just how far that repositioning can go. The question now: will other Bay Area tech CEOs follow Benioff's lead and call for federal troops in their own backyard?

    I really hope people in tech are really paying attention. We could use more people discovering class consciousness in our field. There’s too many temporarily-embarrassed billionaires among us.

      I was warned Friday that my anti-AI stance would get me fired by the morons in management pushing AI they know nothing about

        Yo, do not let your anti-AI stance be known in the corpo. If you don’t plan to quit for your own reasons, keep your class consciousness and other “unaligned” views away from management. Instead, keep management content and help your coworkers. Having more comrades in corporate structures makes it easier for others to develop class consciousness without being ejected. Especially in positions of management. At the very least it’s helluvalot nicer to work under a class conscious manager than a standard corpo drone.

        If your boss wants AI usage, give 'em AI usage. If the results are not stellar and they end up spending a ton of money for it, that’ll move them in a different direction.
