crazy people who look sort of like me but younger.
giving away the game a bit, Mr. Schmidt
Eric Schmidt trying to think of an AI conversation and coming up with “How do I build a house? Step 1: Hire a contractor …” is like the Schmidt version of Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.
Cyberpunk fantasy: corporations’ top level hierarchy is full of greedy, soulless, ruthless, cold and calculist people
Reality: corporations’ top level hierarchy is full of greedy, soulless people you thought only existed as satire in The Onion
This will grant us “the arrival of an alien intelligence.” Those are Schmidt’s literal words.
Speaking of alien intelligences, my new Silicon Valley blood magic startup has come up with the idea of ritually sacrificing virgins in the hope of summoning Great Cthulhu or Azathoth, as they might have some ideas of solving the climate crisis.
Not a cult btw.
