If I was already an investor and saw that, my eyes would bug out so fast that they'd leave my skull and achieve orbital escape velocity. That quote is peak Dilbert boss.

Yet GM still gave them millions

Mary led and that mattered.

Netflix has a couple series, a “Dictator’s playbook” and “Mafia boss’ playbook”.

What they really need to do is make one for tech scroungers and frauds like SBF, Holmes, Newman, Nikola founder, etc.

Why stop there? These are the obvious scams, but let's look deeper. Let's look at how "legit" companies are screwing their users by using all of their personal data and convincing the public that everything is perfectly normal

There's a series about Newman and another about Holmes out there. Both are quite enjoyable.

Given GM's commitment to actively removing the most popular and asked-for feature in the automotive world from their own infotainment systems, I'm not even surprised. This is a company that has proven before and continues to prove that they simply don't give a fuck about technology, they've realized they can keep throwing gimmicks or buzzwords at consumers and maintain just enough mind-share to stay relevant. It's no shock to me that a company with that sort of culture willingly bought into the same kind of flashy demos and mosaics of buzzwords that they themselves take part in.

GM does not make cars for the consumers, GM makes cars for the investors. And the investors loved the idea of additional revenue from apps&subscriptions on the entertainment system

I literally bought puts immediately.

Reality - If you were an investor and saw this your check book would bug out.

LOL soooo good. The principles never get old!!
