The way it's worded makes me sure it's written by a hallucinating AI.
I fucken hate Sales.
I can suggest an equation that has the potential to change the future...
E = MC² + S
S stands for sandwich...because I'm having one, for lunch...
I can suggest an equation that has the potential to impact the future:
Acetyl-CoA + 3H~2~O + 3NAD^+^ + FAD + ADP + Pi → 2CO~2~ + 3NADH + 3H^+^ + FADH~2~ + CoA-SH + ATP + H~2~O + AI
This combines the Krebs Cycle which relates to glucose metabolism with the addition of artificial intelligence (AI). By including AI in the equation, it symbolises my ability to wank myself to completion without touching my cock, simply by massaging my engorged ego.
"P = G + E + block chain
Phenotype = Genotype + Environment, but now the equation respects the contribution of block chain NFTs. with enough bored apes getting slurpjuice, we can revolutionize dementia into a value-add for the marketplace."
- me, a Technology Management Consultant.
Just because you had a thought, doesn’t mean you should write a TED talk on it.
I think my brain just fell out.
Wouldn't this just mean AI=0?
Yes, but that does not mean AI has 0 influence. Rather, AI is a circle, a shape with no beginning or end, suggesting that AI has endless and infinite potential. Now, let's say you want to remove AI from the equation - imagining a world without AI. What happens when you divide by zero? You can't, because dividing by zero is undefined. Thusly, a world (future or past) without AI is now an impossibility. This is simply the laws of mathematics.
- Property Manager, AI Consultant
AI is an idea, a world-historical heroine, light itself.
All you need to know is that he labeled himself as a consultant. Which reminds me of this joke.
Once upon a time there was a shepherd tending his sheep at the edge of a country road. A brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee screeches to a halt next to him.
The driver, a young man dressed in a Brioni suit, Cerrutti shoes, Ray-Ban glasses, Jovial Swiss wrist watch and a BHS tie gets out and asks the shepherd: "If I guess how many sheep you have, will you give me one of them?" The shepherd looks at the young man, then looks at the sprawling field of sheep and says: "Okay."
The young man parks the SUV, connects his notebook and wireless modem, enters a NASA site, scans the ground using his GPS, opens a database and 60 Excel tables filled with algorithms, then prints a 150 page report on his high tech mini printer. He then turns to the shepherd and says:"You have exactly 1,586 sheep here. "
The shepherd answers: "That's correct, you can have your sheep."The young man takes one of the animals and puts it in the back of his vehicle. The shepherd looks at him and asks: "Now, if I guess your profession, will you pay me back in kind?" The young man answers: "Sure." The shepherd says: "You are a consultant." "Exactly! How did you know," asks the young man? Very simple, answers the shepherd. "First, you came here without being called. Second, you charged me a fee to tell me something I already knew. Third, you do not understand anything about my business and I'd really like to have my dog back."
My old boss used to say, "a consultant is someone who borrows your watch and then charges you when you ask for the time"
From my experience working for a management consulting firm. It's more like everyone knows what the problems are and how to fix them, but they are too scared of screwing up to do something about it.
So they hire a consultancy company to tell them what they already knew and take the blame if something goes wrong.
"No one ever gets fired for hiring McKinsey"
This has literally been written by a LLM, I’m sure of it
Surprised no one else is saying this. It sounds exactly like an LLM, especially ChatGPT.
I think that fact was overshadowed by the likely stupidity of the original prompt. (“Add AI to e=mc^2” or something)
Nobody tell this guy about the momentum term
AI is the crypto of 2024. Every Tom Dick and Harry is suddenly an expert in AI
I have never met a real linkedin Poster before. They must be amazing in person.
Dumbass.
So AI = E - mc^2^?
That's some crazy physics right there.
So AI = 0? Sounds about right.
I don't want to be on this planet anymore
I think the best part about this is the guy is saying that AI = 0. I want to hope that's intentional but I know it's not.
What
Are those AI evangelists real? Or are they products or their products?
They sound like the latter to say the least.
This guy's a consultant, he has to talk big.
LinkedIn lunatic
This reminds me of that TEDx (I think it was TEDx) talk where the guy claimed that you could see the letters E=mc^2^ in the Devanagari symbol for Om, as if this revealed some sort of profound truth about the universe.
The funny thing is that that's literally all I remember about that talk. I don't remember what the guy was talking about for the ten to twenty minutes before that point, just that the talk concluded with him looking super self-satisfied while saying something incredibly silly and cringeworthy.
Reminds of various evangelical speakers seeing "crosses" in nature or cheese toasties and thinking they're profound. Truly a Christmas miracle that a pair of lines intersect.
My favorite was the one who claimed to have converted to christianity after seeing 3 waterfalls and because he saw three of something one time that means the trinity is real.
Imagine what wild beliefs he'd be lurching into if that story were remotely true. Wild that people seem to be into it
Ted talks went from mildly interesting to Deepak Choprarian nonsense so insanely fast.
I just listened to the most recent Behind the Bastards on forensic 'science' used in court cases and Robert played a clip of one guy who had a Ted talk where he spoke about how he uses divining rods to find dead bodies buried in the ground.
The worst part is this guy is still employed in the field, testifies as an expert witness to get people convicted of crimes, grifts families of missing persons claiming he can find them for a fee based on their body's "unique frequency" (obtained from fingernail clippings), consults/instructs law enforcement on his techniques using taxpayer funds, and worked until recently at the famous body farm at the Univeristy of Tennessee.
Tedx is a service you pay to come and pretend you have words worth saying, like how you pay Guinness world records to come and hand you a fancy plaque
As someone who studied CS at uni for 3 years I saw first hand how there's plenty of idiots in this field. Two of my classmates identified as Nazis and thought that the holocaust didn't happen, besides a significant chunk leaning to the right more generally.
There's plenty of really smart people working in the field of AI, but there's also plenty of people who just think they're smart.
I think this pretty much applies to all fields. Everything looks complicated and hard to outside people, but once you get into the field, you realize that most people are just average.
Plus with very specialized fields you get the effect of "really great at this one thing and absolutely nothing else".
If that One Thing ends up being worth a lot of money, these people often end up with a SUPER inflated sense of self importance..
This is comically stupid
This is so terrible it physically pains me.
This is terrible physics. It pains me
