“[w]e are able to gaze into the 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 face of a bronze age royal woman – and it 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 is a face to launch a thousand ships."

Yeah, truly, there is a modern #Greek saying, "a pus*y can tug a ship", so why not a thousand ships? A few bones found 75 years ago give us certainty about her face, and in spite of already having arthritis and dying in her 30s, she looked just like the girl in the picture 🙄

@GossiTheDog "#valuations" are just batshit crazy made-up amounts.

  • Like as if someone pays $1.000 to get 1‰ stake in it, the company is valued $1.000.000 by going reverse, when in fact that could merely mean it's a security on a credit / gamble and not much else.

  • I mean, a house doesn't get valued €100k just because someone was able to get a credit for that amount by puttibg it up as collateral in return.

The #valuation-based #hype doesn't do much except "line goes up" as a company before/after/between deals doesn't gain more assets or clients or orders nor produces more value, products, revenue or even IP.

  • In teal life, somethibg is only as valuable as the money (cash) one is willing to put down for it: A luxurious condo or collectible car is only as valuable as the highest bid it can attain in short notice! Same with any business!

A kiosk doesn't get valued much beyond it's assets as it's only "added value" beyond it's merchandise and interior usually gets offset almost completely by it's long-term commitments as in contractual obligations!

The complaint [PDF], filed on behalf of plaintiff Peter Landsheft as a proposed class action, argues that Apple mid-2024 launched a marketing campaign for its iPhone 16 that […]

In meinem Job und natürlich auch sonst im Umfeld ist der KI #Hype immer noch strong.

Je mehr ich lese, desto weniger enthusiastisch bin ich da allerdings. Inzwischen habe ich ca. 100 knackige Beispiele für die Gefahren von KI gesammelt und werde daraus wohl mal eine kleine Keynote basteln, um mit meinen Kolleg*innen darüber zu diskutieren.

Ein aktuelles Beispiel, gerade bei Fefe gesehen:
