Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

You would hope that, if they take their job seriously, the managers who predict AI mooning, that they also write predictions for the other situations. And not just the best case scenarios.
I mean... yeah, you would hope that, wouldn't you? And to be fair, they were selling the product beforehand as well. It's just apparently a lot easier to sell the AI angle right now.
Yeah hope for your job that they don't bet the company on the 2027 thing. Because that would be quite the failure of management. If they just use it as a tool for sales I get it (don't like it, but I get it), the CEO being all in on it is worrying though, which is why I hope he has also made predictions for what if he is wrong and AI never advances anymore significantly (or even becomes a liability as a sales tool).
Realistically, the bubble bursting just means going back to pre-2025 target markets. But who knows.
For the company hopefully, but it could also turn into 'any mention of AI gets interpreted as a bad sign' and you need to pivot before that affects the bottom line. (clearly the pendulum is towards it being a good sign atm).
