The thing in vc funded startups was to talk to new employees about imposter syndrome, but it seems to me like the c-suite needs remedial classes on the sunk cost fallacy.
No, they just need to stop putting white failsons who can't get a job outside of management or marketing in charge of an entire company.
These men are idiots. But also, they're so stupid that they think everyone ELSE is stupid, so it's probably a genuine mystery to them as to why AI isn't selling.
I'm stunned at the strength of the groupthink among tech executives, their brains are all breaking the same way on the same subject. I thought it was bad among video game executives. They can make mistakes but not all the same one at the same time!
My medical insurance bought some cheap AI chatbot and, of course, it routed my call to the wrong department. If I wanted to talk to something stupid, I'd go out and find a MAGA.
Oh but that was just a way to hide that they transitioned from sugar to the heavily subsidized corn syrup in order to lower their overhead and make more money.
I'm unconvinced that that's the case. Sometimes corporate incompetence isn't a conspiracy. It's just corporate incompetence. Though it's certainly true that, partly because of that transition, Coca Cola ended up more, not less, profitable when the dust settled on New Coke / Coke II.
The fact remains: Coca-Cola since that day has used corn syrup. I had to pay almost twice as much to get Coke in nice glass bottles using only cane sugar because they sell that in Mexico, where corn is NOT subsidized.
I worked on the solar array for their new campus and Jesus was that the most overcomplicated mess.
Maybe hire some dummies and things will get done idk
