Comment on The Baffling World of Masayoshi Son's Presentations (2020)

Comments

Here's an example of his latest presentation slides: https://group.softbank/media/Project/sbg/sbg/pdf/ir/investor...

Slide number 55 is a beauty.

Skimmed through this hoping it was some sort of joke, and there was a genuine "gotcha" moment before diving into the stuff professional analysts spend lots of time examining.

Turns out, the joke was on me. I got pictures of fucking geese.

Goose value 0?

Gosh that one got me good. I haven't had a genuine chuckle from a post on here in ages, nevermind one that's from a a CEO of a multibillion dollar firm, who's presentation I was up until that point more or less agreeing with.

IE; It went from "ya know, this is actual a reasonable take to provide investors from a 70+ y/o CEO" to "Goose value 0?"

“Is the value of the goose 0?”

hmm g00se?

I love slide 18 with the implication that researchers don't create and engineers don't think.

I can't speak to the numbers, but the values it espouses sound reasonable.

Preposterous. Clearly the goose is full of golden eggs

translation: goose has constipation

Really blurs the like between genius and crazy

I think he left that line behind a long time ago.

ASI as Alien Slop Intelligence is already here. The next phase is hardening the slop, I suppose.
