      Musk would hire people to jerk off to a milk carton, then drink it live pretending it’s his own, and get mad when people point out that the good drinkers would know how to position the mill carton for optimal flow.

      I’m not sure why I wrote this, or why I’m pressing send…

    I disagree.

    Fuck this data driven bullshit. We need to return to a time where executives with a vision are empowered. We need to have decisions made by the kind of people who say things like “I know only 10% of people watch Mindhunters but that’s the kind of show that brings people to our service”.

    If things stay the way they are get used to watching 7-8 seasons of mediocre lowest common denominator bullshit and having your favorite shows cancelled after one or two seasons.

      I can’t disagree with you, but the current executives and how they function can easily be replaced by current ai models. Would be nice to get innovation back, but all the competition is gone now.

      • Worker-owned and operated.
      • “CEO” is just an algorithm that occasionally suggests CEO-y things the employees vote on. You don’t even have to pay it and all it wants is to be included in an occasional pizza party and told it’s doing good work.

    Weird Al should create an AI of Weird Al, and call it Weird AI. I think that would settle the debate once and for all.

      unfortunately Cleese in his elder years hasn’t really moved with the times. While this quote is fairly right-on, he’s also said a bunch of fairly right-wing crap too.

        Edit: Didn’t know about his other views. I no longer consider his views forgivable.

        He is remarkably progressive and lucid for his age, so I’m inclined to cut him some slack for the topics I wholeheartedly disagree about with him.

        For example, his support for Brexit I find hard to forgive… but unlike most of the ghouls that supported it, he seems genuine in his opinions and remains at odds and vocally against the Global Far Right.

          What??

          The guys is openly transphobic, is part of the whole “comedy is ruined because if woke” crowd, is anti immigrant and anti-muslim and like you said, is pro brexit, but you want to cut him some slack because he’s “genuine” in his transphobia and xenophobia???

            Shit, first time I read the bit about transphobia. That is awful. Apologies, I don’t follow this crap close enough, consider my previous comment about cutting him some slack retracted, fuck this guy.

          You kidding? He’s been railing against woke etc. He’s on the right of UK politics. Would probably be further if it was acceptable.

          A very funny and clever man during his youth. That guy is gone.

      Reminds me of a famous quote from Danish humorist Storm P:

      “He who understands humor as only humor and seriousness as only seriousness has misunderstood both”
