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

@dev Here's my favorite slide.

@dev
Hell yeah -
@dev Now they just need to explain Money to economists.

@dev Aww, I value you, goose. :3
️🪿@theorangetheme @dev This goose got sick of all the ducks in a row.

@dev
Hell yeah -

@dev @secretasianman i love how proud the goose is on the one slide where it is valued
@atsuzaki @dev @secretasianman
T-posing to assert value dominance

Oh my god, these are real, actual slides from a SoftBank presentation. Pulitzer-worthy
@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

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

@dev good grief I hope that goose is ok
@gapplepie1985@mastodon.social @dev@discuss.systems she's more machine than goose, now.

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. -
@dev Someone do a welfare check on the missing Keebler elf.
What if we just replace ASI with "Labor"
The true source of value is the workers inside the factory

@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.

@dev its interesting to see the robotics bubble also get acknowledged. Those humanoid robots in the illustration have no use case. Roboticists fear the next AI winter will also be a robotics winter. Non-humanoid robots are actually useful, so maybe they'll escape it.

I just posted my favorite image from the essay where it almost becomes like an illustration in a linguistic philosophy paper. I too bow to this level of power pointing.
