Are you sure that this didn’t just come from AP, or something? This is supposed to be a satire community, not a real-news one.

He said we are still waiting for the hype to become reality, in the form of something obvious and impossible to miss, like the world economy shooting up 10% across the board.

That’s such an odd turn of phrase. “We’re still waiting for the hype to become a reality…” and “…something obvious and impossible to miss…”

So, like, do I have to time to go to the bathroom and get a drink, before I sit down and start staring at the empty space, or…?

Don’t get me wrong. I work with this stuff every day at this point. My job is LLMs and model training pipelines and agentic frameworks. But, there is something… off, about saying the equivalent of “it’ll happen any day now…”

It may just, but making forward-looking decisions on something that doesn’t exist—may not come to pass—feels like madness.

I’ve basically given up hope of the bubble ever bursting, as the market lives in La La Land, where no amount of bad decision-making seems to make a dent in the momentum of “line must go up”.

Would it be cool for negative feedback to step in and correct the death spiral? Absolutely. But, I advise folks to not start holding their breath so soon…

Very bold move, in a tech climate in which CEOs declare generative AI to be the answer to everything, and in which shareholders expect line to go up faster…

I half expect to next read an article about his ouster.

I mean, who was it that recently said that he alone (and, well, his AG, too, maybe) is the sole authority in interpreting law? It sure as hell wasn’t Zelensky…

Edit: Accidentally ate a word.

I’m certainly thick as a brick…

He believes the payoff will include better healthcare, thanks to treatments tailored to individuals…

Hey, that’s great and all… So, who’s going to pay for those treatments? Universal healthcare when?

No, no… Look, the “eye of the needle” was just some narrow wall in the city of Jerusalem. If you tried hard enough, you could squeeze a fully-laden camel through. So, see: Jesus was saying that it was still possible to be filthy rich and get into heaven. Just have to squeeze your way in. No need to learn an uncomfortable lesson here.

Narrator: The call did, in fact, take place.

They Might Be Giants’ next hit: a sequel to “Particle Man”.

Was she karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge—her brother-in-law—an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", and "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink"?

Some say that there may be a third way, but its utterance is anathema…
