Well-known companies, like Marriott here, are being mismanaged into the ground by a management culture that’s resemblant of inbred European aristocracy of the 17th c.

Oh no, is something wrong with the Monopoly money, too?
What ever could it be? It’s certainly not the realization that fake money built atop nothing worthless. No, it can’t be that. Could it be the realization that the president they thought they’d purchased isn’t, in fact, truly reliable?

As a child could surmise, this is an epic collapse in the making.
If interest moves to the edge, we are going to see…problems emerge.

None of this will happen, by the way. If you think it will, then you’ve not been paying attention.
First, LLMs are not capable of the reasoning required. Now or ever.
Second, the insane amount of compute used here is *all* subsidized. All of it. This cannot last much longer.
