Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

GOOSE WAS NOT VALUED
CW: slides (and link to the original deck) from absolutely brain-melted SoftBank presentation.
Edit: there is video
From the same presentation talk of an AI bubble is blasphemy
Giving strong "pay no attention that man behind the curtain" energy
We spend years making a case for AGI stuff being a religion and he just says it out loud.
At this point I'm expecting the next big startup to literally call itself Golden Calf
I too would say that if I had staked my entire reputation and fortune on a bubble
Is there any chance this is just an awkward translation?
inb4 "it's actually even stupider in the original"
Son speaks English perfectly well, if with a strong accent. If he said or wrote it in English, he means it.
I wonder whether the slides look so much like shitposts because the image-gen AI has ingested so many from scraping the internet. Like "Goose value 71" overlaid on an image of a goose is an image I can truly only ever imagine having seen as a shitpost prior to GenAI.
I think we can call it, "Goose value 71" is officially the peak of the bubble
I vote we preserve this term for future and past bubbles as well.
Also they couldn't be arsed to make the eggs come from the goose's arse.
