  Finger on the monkey’s paw curls

  Too little delay on the automated back and forth.

  Clueless middle management dork sees (imagines) amazing, promotion-grade results - huzzah, obviously I was right all along!

  Things get weirder, and worse.

  Fuckin lol. Lotta these old greedy pricks starting to converge, in visage and thought, on - “well, there has to be a first lich, after all…”

  They utterly trashed their OS, a globally ~dominant cash cow, at an astonishing pace. By completely, eagerly jumping the gun on exciting new tech, maybe the single above-all “thing you never do with anything even like a cash cow of any shape or size”.

  As in, that is known - viscerally, below the level of words or even thought, as if that knowledge originates from another realm - by anyone who has ever actually been directly responsible for any valuable piece of technology.

  The depth of ignorance and really just flat-out juvenile naivety (fueled by naked greed) is something I’ll probably be thinking about for the rest of my life. Truly amazing, just historically, almost mythically foolish.

  This dude has been locked into this outcome for a long time, and it’s getting increasingly obvious how disastrous it is.

  There are no dances left for him to perform except “it’s really not that bad!”

  After listening to some of the Behind the Bastards on Thiel’s Antichrist obsession, his names for things are more understandable. Not by being sensible, by his demonstrated tendency to read things and take interpretations from them that make no sense to anyone else.

  So yeah I’m sure he’s got some nutso bananas reinterpretation of what a Palantir is, etc.

  That’s fair and certainly a real phenomena, no argument there. I’ve prolly been guilty of it myself lol

  I mean you may not realize it but if you’ve been routinely using it for that long, at this point you pretty likely have well-established workarounds for the annoying bits that barely register for you as workarounds or annoying by now.

  Not too different from the phenomenon where the average subject matter expert over time grows unable to relate to or communicate effectively with people having substantially less expertise. Just cuz so much foundational stuff (lacked by novices) is just implicitly baked in, to the point it becomes invisible - water to the proverbial fish or whatever.
