The Musings Of An Opinionated Sod [Help Me Grow!]

Well, I say ‘without comment’ but it does reinforce this post I wrote a while ago. And if you can’t be bothered to read that – you lazy bastards – the point is basically this:

Why does business revere ‘leaders’ who have a history of failing at breathtaking scale?

Is it the breathtaking scale that turns them on, or the idea they reframe their choices as ‘innovation’?

Which raises another question:

If Mr Zuckerberg can’t make AI work with his almost endless resources and investment in the technology … why the fuck does every legacy company think they can create an AI product – from scratch and with tech people who are NOT leaders in their field – that will?

God bless the egotistical delusion of old men who think creating their own AI platform makes them look young and relevant.

Hey, at least it makes a change from ‘sports car and having an affair with their secretary’.
