Oh my god, these are real, actual slides from a SoftBank presentation.

[ricci@discuss.systems]

@SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev there are citations for the fucking egg diagram

[dan@discuss.systems]

@ricci @SnoopJ @regehr @dev okay who’s gonna cite the egg diagram in their next paper?

[mdekstrand@hci.social]

@dan @dev from these slides at least it’s not clear wtf they’re even saying.

are the arch-capitalists endorsing Marxist theories of surplus value?

are they saying they are geese?

instructions unclear.

@ricci @SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev ASSUMING ONE TRILLION YEN PER EGG

[ricci@discuss.systems]

@amy @SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev I often assume this

[deborahh@cosocial.ca]

@aburka @SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev eggcellent!

[ricci@discuss.systems]

@SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev the tone shift between the nonsense slop of the images and the ultra legalese of the text is just incredible

@jonny check this out

[dev@discuss.systems]

@ricci Ed is awesome but I think he got there before me

@ricci @SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev @jonny

Surely different authors: the first tasked with pitching, the second tasked with correctness sufficient for legal CYA

@twifkak @dev Make the bubble bigger.

@SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev As long as the goose can keep laying golden eggs, it doesn't matter whether golden eggs are a thing you need or not

@dev

WTF am I looking at? I followed the link, it made it worse.

"Plant the tomatoes on whose land, Nick? Whose land?"

PS: Land ownership is a concept with some interesting looking challenges from Georgist economics. I like the notion of abolishing it and supporting ownership-like land use by renting land from everyone else.

@dev@discuss.systems Need a goose version of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZkB11pO9R8. The presentation already gives... ideas.

@dev As long as the shareholders don't lay the eggs themselves, the Goose Value is 74

@SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev
Egg count: illustrative representation of shareholder value

[ricci@discuss.systems]

@jonny @SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev why are we doing LoC and cookies and trumpets when the real indication of shareholder value was sitting right under a goose's ass this whole time

[snoopj@hachyderm.io]

@dan @ricci @regehr @dev I don't know but I can only hope they also cite the Chicken paper.

[snoopj@hachyderm.io]

@dan @ricci @regehr @dev leading to the classic problem of in which order to list the citations. Which comes first, the Chicken, or the Egg?

[ricci@discuss.systems]

@SnoopJ @dan @regehr @dev if you pick the wrong order the snake is venomous
