Some people are literally losing their gotdamned minds, that’s what we’re doing.

If you embarrass this department, your pants will be dancing with figs! Is that clear?!

Are you sure that this didn’t just come from AP, or something? This is supposed to be a satire community, not a real-news one.

He said we are still waiting for the hype to become reality, in the form of something obvious and impossible to miss, like the world economy shooting up 10% across the board.

That’s such an odd turn of phrase. “We’re still waiting for the hype to become a reality…” and “…something obvious and impossible to miss…”

So, like, do I have to time to go to the bathroom and get a drink, before I sit down and start staring at the empty space, or…?

Don’t get me wrong. I work with this stuff every day at this point. My job is LLMs and model training pipelines and agentic frameworks. But, there is something… off, about saying the equivalent of “it’ll happen any day now…”

It may just, but making forward-looking decisions on something that doesn’t exist—may not come to pass—feels like madness.

I’ve basically given up hope of the bubble ever bursting, as the market lives in La La Land, where no amount of bad decision-making seems to make a dent in the momentum of “line must go up”.

Would it be cool for negative feedback to step in and correct the death spiral? Absolutely. But, I advise folks to not start holding their breath so soon…

Very bold move, in a tech climate in which CEOs declare generative AI to be the answer to everything, and in which shareholders expect line to go up faster…

I half expect to next read an article about his ouster.

I mean, who was it that recently said that he alone (and, well, his AG, too, maybe) is the sole authority in interpreting law? It sure as hell wasn’t Zelensky…

Edit: Accidentally ate a word.

I’m certainly thick as a brick…

OP asked for the worst thing you’ve seen Excel used for…

I’ll consider them my “betters” when they can prove to me that their money and power is good for something other than the kind of villainy reserved for children’s cartoons.

now sit down.

Now, this is an interesting statement. The first part could well be taken as satire. But, this… this stands apart, a command that pings my Poe’s Law detector. Is this more villain-coded roleplay? Or, is perhaps a prophylactic ESAD called for here, in the event that you truly believe what you’re saying?

He believes the payoff will include better healthcare, thanks to treatments tailored to individuals…

Hey, that’s great and all… So, who’s going to pay for those treatments? Universal healthcare when?

One has to have a conscience to be bothered by it…
