Robert Scoble just DM'd me to pitch why Anduril should join the other AI companies paying him to shill for them. He is charging $2,000 per X post, more for videos/blogs/astroturfing. I would share screencaps, but he deleted the message. What a Sunday.

It is wild how thinkfluencers like Robert Scoble will casually tag founders like me in their engagement-farming tweets after treating us like shit for years without apology or acknowledgement. This is someone who directly lobbied my boss and his friends to fire me explicitly for supporting Donald Trump, publicly encouraged the tech industry to blacklist me and prevent me from ever finding a job again post-firing, and made up a bunch of cringy fake stories about problems inside Oculus that were supposedly caused by me - of particular note, that I sabotaged the development of Oculus Touch through incompetence and was the reason it shipped late. In reality, anyone who was actually there knows I was the champion of the project and got into the one-and-only shouting match of my career when the budget for the project was pulled against my strong protestations. The cherry on top is the way he accused me of misogyny and then goes on to sexually assault women and excuse it away with "None of the women who came forward were ever in a position where I could make or break their careers. Sexual Harassment requires that I have such power." Bring up any of this, though? Old news.
