This guy is all too right. Fortune.com today: > A CEO trying to reindustrialize America says blue-collar pay is headed for ‘massive hyperinflation’ and kids should skip college to become welders > Trump said the Iran war was ‘very complete’ three weeks ago. > Nvidia’s Jensen Huang says ‘We’ve achieved AGI.’ It's like reading dispatches from an alternate post-truth universe. > You can never return back to the claims to inform your readership whether they were actually true (this is especially true of CEO promises made before giant, pointless, disastrous mergers). That's the worst. It's like it's now wrong to call CEOs on their bullshit. Yesterday I noted that Donut Labs, with their heavily promoted solid state battery, had previously announced they would be shipping in volume in Q1 2026. I wrote on HN "They have until Tuesday." That was voted down. | ||
