no not at all. we are laying people and replacing them with AI. You should buy more of our stock. We are doing great!

i remember just before the dot com crash there was this company whose value shot up. The company had the brilliant idea of putting ads on screen savers. Well, the screen saver only goes on when the person leaves so no one it looking at a screen. Anyway the dot com crash happened about six months after I noticed that.

I agree. i could find anything worth watching last night so I watched the Maltese Falcon with Humphrey Bogart. It was great! He has great lines like: "When you're slapped, you'll take it and like it".

in real capitalism badly managed companies go bankrupt. that is how its supposed to work. if the government supports badly managed companies then they continue to be badly managed.

in large companies the ambitious out compete the competent for control. when they have power they don't know what do to. i think this happens because the competent spend their time doing their job and getting shit done. I am not sure what the ambitious do but whatever it is impresses management.

their websites shows they are hiring for a bunch of programming positions. why hire programmers if the AI is writing all the code.

we are at the "smell your own farts and tell everyone how great they smell" stage of collapse of the empire.

I see they use "leading" now instead of "expert" because the they beat that horse to death.

the next managed release of a manufactured disease by the interagency.

there is a secret system of "laws" called the rules based order which require login information get sent to government servers in the US. they can then decide if they want to users to be banned from accessing the services of any company that does any business in the US.

they cannot say we are laying people off because sales are dropping because of the recession then the stock price will fall. Instead they say AI is so great we are replacing people with AI so you should invest more with us.

they will force bad people into the class with good people then in order to pass them they will dumb the it down. some people are not good at math so should not do math.

that is a very helpful observation. "Sorry I didn't do what you asked. AI autosummarized it and the AI was wrong. Oopsie"

don't stop buying our tech stocks we are not having a recession. that is not why we are laying people off. no not at all. normally laying people off would mean we are in a recession but we are replacing people with AI. that is great you should buy more of our stock because we are more efficient. think about the future and all the amazing stuff we will do. dont look at what we have actual done recently the future is so bright.

its all marketing. In the early 2000's, Crystal Reports packaging for some version said it had "Smart Engine Technology" with a cool AI graphic. I remember thinking. oooh cool AI. I was on the Crystal Info team. I went to talk to Tony who was managing Crystal Reports at the time. I asked him about the cool "Smart Engine Technology". He rolled his eyes and said that for the previous version they were rushed so they could only write one driver using ODBC for all the DB's and it was a piece of shit and very slow. For the current version they wrote native drivers for all the DB's since they had time. That was what marketing called "Smart Engine Technology". That is how I learned the difference between marketing and technology.
