Well said, he got what was coming to him too.

Nonsense, it'll end up with merely some public head scratching and shrugs, and a "gee whiz monsieur, it sure is a mystery to us too".

Interesting that whatever they wanted to do backfired in NYC.

I would have loved to have had ChatGPT when I had to do a few modules in formal methods, I'd say it would have eaten through the BS I had to wade through

Another great post by one of the nations best public intellectuals.

Mediocre sales leaders I've found treat pipeline stagnation as a motivation problem rather than fixing the underlying issues with training, lead qualification, or sales collateral. Previous company had a sales pipeline tanking, and the "brilliant" Sales VP thought bringing forward a sales off-site to get the best performing reps together to motivate them. Net result, pipeline tanks further, VP waits a few months and leaves, and the reps all get upset at missing their targets for a full quarter.

You could fit in most senior directors, consultants and sales VPs into that bucket comfortably.

I'm just waiting for my current company to have a Sev 1 CritSit so I can document the bejesus out of the root cause and expose our non-technical AI evangelist leadership as the sort of goons most of the senior development staff already suspect.

Only by walking us into some revenue or customer impacting failure - through inappropriately having junior devs doing senior level things - will some sense of sanity start to prevail again.

This is a nothing burger of a story.

As someone who is being actively "encouraged" to be more collaborative with a few non technical political type managers merely for the appearance of it, this rings true. Collaboration is great if you don't have a clue and can coast on someone's coattails.

Fun times in Caracas. Interested to see what future Mafia film will use this a backdrop.

> I am amazed that people take Hal Puthoff at his word that he has worked on all these secret projects for decades even though he cannot describe in definitive terms what the actual outcomes of those programs were.

This is one hundred perfect my view on this, and things are more than suspicious when suddenly being asked to get into the weeds on some technical aspect these guys start citing national security to keep things vague.

A lot more of Max Hastings than I would care to admit. But boy, can than man write a ripping yarn.

That's terrible. If the NTSB had flagged this flaw before then someone failed with an inspection regime or maintenance.

The NTSB doesn't ever accept the "sometimes bad things happen, shrug" excuse and kudos to the professionals there.

I presume he's moving on to some Trump appointed position.

I would send business that guys way if I could, he seems like good people, unlike the more famous Zuckerberg.

Great way to 'other' a group of folks who don't tend to stick to an all veggie diet. It wasn't enough just to say you can eat nettles and they're ok, but they had to take a dump on meat eating while they're at it

That'll save them a few million dollars when things are tight.
