Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

As someone who's had the misfortune of having to use Salesforce professionally, this might actually improve the quality of their slop.

Yeah thought the same, "can't make it much worse"

If you're smart, pull your investments from them because it's only a matter of time before they push some AI built update with minimal/no oversight and totally fuck up, like crowdstrike did.

Totally fucking up has zero consequences when there is no competition and you can afford the lobbyists to keep it that way.

Ride the wave for the next couple/few days, then pull your investment. This is market manipulation news. It doesn't always cause a pump and dump scenario, but it frequently does.

It'll be funny when Salesforce asks the AI for what they want, and don't get exactly what they want, and then don't know how to manipulate the AI to get what they want.

Exactly like it is now for a picture.

What the FUCK is on his head !?!?

It's his wizard hat. He usually pairs it with a cloak.

I’d call it a Magritte condom: It’s not a condom. But it does prevent him from reproducing.

"it started as a wart on my ass" - the hat

Apparently people were wearing "hats" on their heads before it became impractical and unnecessary with people taking cars to go anywhere that's more than a few feet away.
