That’s how they talk about it publicly. Internally I can attest that the companies for two of the three you list are not like that internally at all. It’s all marketing, outwardly focused.





I believe it's the opposite. They don't dare say their ridiculous tech cult stuff to their employees, but it's what they truly believe.

AGI is their capitalist savior, here to redeem a failing system from having to pay pesky workers.


"Tech founders" for whom the "technology" part is the thing always getting in the way of the "just the money and buzzwords" part.

Now they think they can automate it away.

25+ years in this industry and I still find it striking how different the perspective between the "money" side and the "engineering" side is... on the same products/companies/ideas.
