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

[funkula@goblin.camp]

@celesteh @ireneista @dev @cstross but without the radiation being disposed anywhere other than the fragile bodies of peasants

[spotlightkyd@musicworld.social]

@dev Theese slides convinced me that using AI is the new acid trip.

[jonny@neuromatch.social]

@dev
Hell yeah

[mrgrumpymonkey@mastodon.social]

@dev Here's my favorite slide.

[mrgrumpymonkey@mastodon.social]

@jonny @dev Bring on the money. I half expect Softbank to go bankrupt in the next 10 years.

[megatronicthronbanks@mastodon.social]

@dev Now they just need to explain Money to economists.

[mrgrumpymonkey@mastodon.social]

@srxl @dev Gatta hype up the market somehow.

[mrgrumpymonkey@mastodon.social]

@ferrix @dev @jonny Golden Egg Value = -3

[mrgrumpymonkey@mastodon.social]

@theorangetheme @dev This goose got sick of all the ducks in a row.

[carstenfranke@mastodon.social]

@jonny @dev
Why wait 16 years? We should have it now. Yellow line clearly extends the most recent development.

[mrgrumpymonkey@mastodon.social]

@twifkak @dev The best slide.

[eestileib@tech.lgbt]

@atsuzaki @dev @secretasianman

T-posing to assert value dominance

[xauriel@mastodon.nz]

@dev "the value of a company comes from the actual operations of a company, not from stock price gains" is a hell of a thing to have to teach serious investment people with literal children's cartoons

[mikemccaffrey@pdx.social]

@spiegelmama @SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev No one can say that Softbank hasn't laid some big eggs over recent years.

[aud@fire.asta.lgbt]

@gapplepie1985@mastodon.social @dev@discuss.systems she's more machine than goose, now.

[heavyimage@mastodon.social]

@dan @steve @dev this reminds me of one of my favorite internet essays of all time: https://medium.com/message/amazing-military-infographics-1ba60bdc32e7

[ggmcbg@mstdn.plus]

@dev

They really are dead upstairs, and they just move money back and forth like tides and moons. They don't even need to wake-up (sober-up) to succeed in banking, meaningless as they've made it all.
The offices and desks are just to make us think they have a purpose in it.

[alienghic@timeloop.cafe]

@LabSpokane @dev

What if we just replace ASI with "Labor"

The true source of value is the workers inside the factory

[snoopj@hachyderm.io]

@heavyimage @dan @steve @dev also putting in a good word for the episode of Well There's Your Problem on military powerpoint, which has some real goodies in it and plenty of context from a service member about the sort of environment that creates some of them (while still being baffled at a few of their specimens)

@heavyimage @steve @dev yes, this must be where I got the idea!

Like the article says, the best is when they start trying to explain and analyze purely abstract concepts. I remember reading one about “commander’s intent”. Not any specific commander’s intent, but the very idea of intent itself.

They are truly powerpointing at a level the rest of us cannot even comprehend.
