My latest piece goes out either Monday or Tuesday next week, it's called "The Era of the Business Idiot." I believe our society is in the thrall of middle management, and it's turned our economy into a series of symbolic gestures between people that don't really know what's going on.

Remember when Musk wanted to buy Wikipedia but couldn't?
This is the same playbook.
(Just a reminder as we try to figure this out: you can't ask an LLM why it did something and expect a reliable answer. So the posts where Grok says Musk programmed this have to be considered unreliable for now)

In talks and in our online course thebullshitmachines.com, I worry about how the extremely high cost of training LLMs concentrates power in the hands of the very few to shape our information environment.
