The whole presentation is worth the click-through:

1. Honestly, the metaphorically mangled goose slides in the post make more sense than a lot of the rest of the presentation — which is •really• saying something.

2. That deck is a magnificent example of why I don't like sharing slides as a means of sharing the content of a talk.

3. If we •do• attempt to infer the content from the presentation's sloptastic slides alone, it’s a remarkable window into the investor thinking that’s driving the AI bubble: “Exponential money is hiding just around the corner! Get in on the ground floor! Buy now! Buy now and rocket to infinity and beyond!!”

@inthehands Oh come on. They're describing labor.

Like, I know the whole premise is that AI turns capital into more capital without passing go and paying labor. And if that fails, it at least makes all labor rent the ability to do labor from capital. And if THAT fails, it at least shapes and filters all human communication.

But still. They're describing labor. The value factory is labor.

But but Jennifer, see, if you stuff all the labor inside a goose, and then you own the goose, then you can own all the labor, so now you are Gooselord of the Golden Eggs! Why wouldn't you want that?!

Pray don't forget that the goose potentially contains infinite quantities of both labour and resources and can therefore scale infinitely over time.

@theogrin @inthehands @jenniferplusplus Let's not forget that each of those golden eggs can spawn a goose laying more eggs 🤯
