Finger on the monkey’s paw curls

Too little delay on the automated back and forth.

Clueless middle management dork sees (imagines) amazing, promotion-grade results - huzzah, obviously I was right all along!

Things get weirder, and worse.

(eh, the sardonic joke I read was: ya stopped short of deleting Windows)

Fuckin lol. Lotta these old greedy pricks starting to converge, in visage and thought, on - “well, there has to be a first lich, after all, so…”

They utterly trashed their OS, a globally ~dominant cash cow, at an astonishing pace. By completely, eagerly (forcibly!) jumping the gun on exciting new tech, maybe the single above-all “thing you never do with anything even like a cash cow of any shape or size”.

As in, that is known - viscerally, below the level of words or even thought, as if that knowledge originates from another realm - by anyone who has ever actually been directly responsible for any valuable piece of technology.

The depth of ignorance and really just flat-out juvenile naivety (fueled by naked greed) that produced this is something I’ll probably be thinking about for the rest of my life. Truly amazing, just historically, I mean mythically foolish.

This dude has been locked into this outcome for a long time, and it’s getting increasingly obvious how disastrous it is.

There are no dances left for him to perform except “it’s really not that bad!”

After listening to some of the Behind the Bastards on Thiel’s Antichrist obsession, his names for things are more understandable. Not by being sensible, by his demonstrated tendency to read things and take interpretations from them that make no sense to anyone else.

So yeah I’m sure he’s got some nutso bananas reinterpretation of what a Palantir is, etc.

He seems unwell, truly.
