Coining "#malcompetence" to mean "actions & their outcomes which are consistent with incompetence but which have an overall malicious effect, especially when the incompetence manifests differently in different situations to produced de facto discrimination."
Malcompetence can run the gamut from actual intentional malice disguised to appear as incompetence, to subconsciously coordinated malicious incompetence that the perpetrator is not consciously aware of but which a less subconsciously biased person would not engage in, to truly unintentional incompetence which manifests in a pattern because of bias in oversight/attention/competence-building. These different root causes are often not distinguishable, and sometimes blend together.

Okay, so it looks like I'm not the only one to have coined this term, but I think digging into the different types is still useful.

Meanwhile, your investors, your gullible trend-chasing investors, are already mentally dividing companies into “pre-AI” and “post-AI.” And not only do you have no idea how to be “post-AI,” but you have no idea whether you’ll be solvent next year. What do you tell them?!??
Obviously you tell them you’re not hiring because you’re having such incredible success with AI! Maybe even you’re going to lay off all the senior people! They’ll love that!
Now you’re not failing and flailing — you’re leading the march into the future! Yay!

Dozens of people who have either worked with or known Zuckerberg told the Financial Times that the CEO’s more public shift toward Trump is just Zuckerberg displaying the more “authentic” version of himself to the world,
even though he was once known to support liberal ideology and voiced opposition to Trump’s policies during the first admini…
