Data Sheet: AI in a fleece vest

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger at Fortune Brainstorm Tech 2021 in Half Moon Bay, Calif.

Good morning. Can we talk about how comedian John Mulaney roasted techies last week at Dreamforce? I’ve never witnessed such savagery at a corporate event:

“Let me get this straight: You’re hosting a ‘future of AI’ event in a city that has failed humanity so miserably?”

“You look like a group who looked at the self-checkout counters at CVS and thought, ‘This is the future.”

“So many of you feel imminently replaceable.”

Thoughts and prayers, geeks. You shall indeed inherit the earth, but not before the creatives burn it to a crisp. —Andrew Nusca
