      So many things just needs something that looks right and is not too long or too short. Nobody will actually read it with some thought. It only matters that it exists.

      For bureaucratic bullshit like that AI is a godsend.

          In many things you need to be accredited by a third party according to some standards and they audit you periodically. They demand that you have shitload of plans, programs, reports, logs and other paperwork required by those standards.

          Auditors mostly only care that the paperwork exists and only focus on the contents on key aspects that are usually clear and short.

    Classic MBA holders. They don’t understand where their companies profitably comes from and why, and are just trying to squeeze out profits. What parasites. Ah if I could deworm them. Individually. Up the butt kek. With actual dewormer. Maybe they’d get their act together.

    Remember when that janitorial company changed its name to include the term CRYPTO and it’s stock went through the roof and the SEC investigated them for fraud?

    I can’t find the story unfortunately

    It’s like the late ‘90s where they tried to connect every common activity to the internet, like bar codes in the newspaper for coupons online.

    They got it “right” when they stopped trying to make non-internet things direct you to the internet and just moved the non-internet things to the internet.

    Now they’re trying to cram AI into everything. What’s the next step…moving your brain into the AI?

    Yup. They don’t understand what it is or what it does. All they know is that it makes even dumber venture capitalists open their wallets.

      The PR Marketing guys sure don’t, but the actual Machine Learning and AI computer scientists sure do!

      I’d wager a lot of marketing people only skim the basic surface of what it does and just plaster it to their supervisors without you know… working with the ACTUAL technical experts in that field.

      Plus they think the non techie is a dum dum who don’t know no better.

    “It has a smooth finish, virtually indestructible, and it writes upside-down.” [None of these will be true] “Also, with our Ink Anytime subscription service, you’ll never run out of ink! It’s free…” [for the first six months] “for our lowest tier…” [three lines of text per day] “with an option to upgrade to a higher tier anytime.” [Puts pen in pocket] “We’re offering pre-orders with a $5 non-refundable deposit, with delivery expected sometime in the next six months depending on how soon you get on the waitlist.” [Two years until you give up and just let us keep your deposit] “So sign up now!”

    The answer to the original riddle is “Sure, can I have your phone to make a demonstration. Great. I’ll sell the phone and pen back as a package deal for $100.”

      This is theft of the phone, so it does accurately demonstrate how corporations work.

      I always thought a good one was to put the pen in your pocket and refuse to give it back. Make him name his price. Clearly it’s yours, not his. Otherwise how could you sell it to him?

        To a person like that a mere pen is basically worthless as a hostage.

            That’s why my proposed solution is to take the phone though. Much more valuable hostage.
