This comes off like something from a C-graded presentation made for a high school entrepreneurship class, not something made by a ""serious"" financial institution with an eleven figure asset value...

Robot

This feels like a scrapped Tim and Eric bit

Love the design

It terrifies me that this is the key jingling. And even more so that it works.

ROBOT

"The goose premium" lmao...is that 21st century vencap newspeak for "idiot tax"? 🤣

damn right it is, that's 0.5 million tokens worth of arithmetics right there

"relying on the raw power of mathematics" is exactly the kind of thing some clueless twit who majored in business or MBAs or whatever bullshit would think. "holy moley guys these magical funni numbers and symbols MAKE SENSE! what if everything we do on top of that is all bullshit?!?!?!?!"

I’d be going apeshit if I had been watching them. The fact he did this then said he wouldn’t retire for another decade is pure magic. Masayoshi son is king of SoftBank for life

In the Japanese dub they’re clearly saying Swan Song

Love a Jojo reference.

Demonstrating command not only of mispronounced English words but of hackneyed Western fables as well is the mark of the alpha male in Japan, Ed.

Pretty sure in WeWork's case the goose was a scammer who was trafficking drugs via private planes and the eggs were purchasing industrial sector mortgages just before the world went into lockdown.

You know, I worked somewhere that used a wework space and it was pretty neat. I remember thinking “hmm what’s the catch though?” It’s like “wow how can wework offer this so cheaply?” Invincible meme: that’s the neat part - they can’t

This makes about as much sense: youtu.be/u08E7c-FRbU?...

I'm telling my "porch goose" friend all about this breaking goose news. She's gonna be delighted.

The goose now lives on the Reflecting Pool, being fed an RFK-approved diet of raw math. It no longer produces eggs, golden or regular.

I reckon when he gets home from work he role plays as that goose. Honking, sitting on a golden egg.

I saw Goose Value 71 in 1998 at Chop Suey in Seattle, hell of a punk show

Son's "Golden Goose" is like Musk's "X" obsession :-D

Not pictured is the amount of debt they stuffed the goose full of, to make it fatter

That’s eggsactly right

wow so a guy can't have a hobby anymore?

I’m starting to see why these people are awestruck at AI’s seeming intelligence

I hope more people learn how true this is of many people involved in investment, and running large corporations. I'm pretty sure it selects for stupid people. A non-stupid person would have to lie convincingly all the time. Easier if you believe your own bullshit.

What happened to the goose at We Work - did it get diarrhea and s*** everywhere?

Worse: the adage about not counting chickens before they're hatched applies exponentially more before they're even laid. If we knew which future technologies would be profitable (or who owned them), it would be a very different world.

This whole infinite money glitch in the real world that so many lunatics are trying to manifest, it boggles the mind

Complete bankruptcy is inevitable - these absolute idiots - all of them - have just gotten lucky by exploiting the fact that wrong monetary and political policies have put money in the pockets of a retarded population - ability counts for nothing anymore (until all of these go bankrupt as they will)

Robot

This doesn’t seem like the sort of presentation that would convince anyone of anything other than “Yup. He did a presentation.”

R o b o t.

The AI cow quadrant is truly a work of art

*attempting to explain AI economics* Imagine if the eggs where going in and out of 4 different Geese but never actually left this cycle thus never actually producing any new golden eggs.

Robot (absolutely no elaboration)

AI slides are so disgusting

Tfw your value is 71

WTF does 71 value mean?

I’m curious what they think the goose is in this metaphor? Probably AI or something

It's a series of tubes!

No, the goose was the egg along!

I’ll do my best to uphold the legacy of goose value wherever/whenever I can. 💪🏻🙌🏻👍🏻🪿

20 yards of linen = 1 coat? Nah, 1 goose = 74 golden eggs

Pak chooie unf

Could they at least give it a stormtrooper face to go with the rest of the fit?

They must protect you from the terrible secrets of space

The geese at the park are not valued.

the number went up

What in the name of unskilled labor did I just read?

Rube Gooseberg machine

How else will you check the core? youtu.be/cBokoaoYNpA

Yes, the goose is the capital. Capital is a thing that creates value. If you own literal chickens laying literal eggs that you literally sell for real money, those chickens are capital. Same with land, factories, etc.

One of the eggs is is owning 85% of ARM Technology.

It's all very complicated, I've decided not to think about it and give all my savings to SoftBank instead. Am I doing this right? Trust in the Goose 🪿

Sadly we found out in this decade that satirist have been prophets all along.

There hasn't been any satire since The Onion became real news.

“Internal mechanism” doing a lot of work…🤦🏻‍♂️

pepsi gravitational field tier

The Mangerial Class has lost its' collective mind and should be treated as fifth columnists on every single bare inch of this prisonplanet

Safe to assume that slide 6 says "cut open the goose and claim all the value at once"?

Yeah, that’s a pretty apt metaphor for how the worker gets shafted, lmao

When there was only one set of footprints in the sand, it was the goose that created value.

Intoning in the grave voice of Cesar from Planet of the Apes: Egg not lay egg

Love the helpful "internal mechanism" label And how the point of the graphic is to explain that the goose and the eggs are different and have been wrongfully confused, even as the picture labels the eggs and the goose all as "ASI"

For real Ed? Journalism pinky swear, these are real slides? My gods. If they are, then I really need to re-think my apparently inadequate level of pessimism about the competence and seriousness of executives. Christ.

That this isn't a statement on the value of workers makes it even more amazing

Sorry, but I'm not familiar with whatever language this ... *squints* wait, that's English? I'll be damned.

It was the workers that created the value...

The "goose value" bit is a new meme and we need that in larger sizes.

"Labor (GEESE) is the source of wealth and all culture (EGGS), and since useful labor is possible only in society and through society, the proceeds of labor belong undiminished with equal right to all members of society." Lasalle, once again missing the point.

Don't count your geese before they hatch

Goose was not valued —TOP GUN (1986)

@gothtatertot.bsky.social IT WAS THE GOOSE WHO CREATED VALUE

Eggenerated AI omelet

(I had to see this looking for a reaction to this post, so now you have to as well!)

What, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck was that?

Oh, I’d been wondering what all the “goose value” memes on Mastodon were about!

I just scrolled through this, and omg it's real, and people believe this. Smart, college educated people think this is an actual plan.

They never miss

When Biden was in office the goose was DEAD. Now we have the hottest goose in the world. No one is laughing at the goose now. Everyone respects the goose.

Same as for Musk: these CEOs are idiots, pure and simple. And not even useful idiots.

Goes hard.

Lmfao this is great

Are these the same people who are like “No, no, if anything, your groceries are too cheap...” and then show you a chart they just made up? 📈

WHAT
