AI CEOs Turn Davos into a Goddamn Tech Bro Circus

Alright, strap the hell in. So apparently, the World Economic Forum — you know, that smug snow-covered meetup where rich bastards pat each other on the back — got hijacked by AI CEOs this year. Yep, Davos turned into a goddamn scene out of a tech startup’s wet dream. Every other prick there was blabbing about “AI transformation” like it was some holy revelation instead of a bunch of algorithms that occasionally forget what day it is.

OpenAI’s Sam Altman strutted around like the messiah of machine learning, while Microsoft’s Satya Nadella and Google’s Sundar Pichai were busy polishing their billion-dollar halos. The usual financial wankers and political talking heads just stood around drooling, pretending to know what a neural net is. Newsflash: they don’t. It’s a glorified stats machine with better PR.

The whole place reeked of overhyped futurism and self-congratulation. Panels full of CEOs blathering about “responsible AI” while their companies vacuum up user data faster than a Dyson on caffeine. Everyone was yapping about regulation too — not because they give a toss about ethics, but because they want whatever rules are written to favor their own massive corporate asses. Classic Davos bullshit — but this time with extra silicon and buzzwords sprinkled on top for flavor.

Bottom line: Davos turned into a tech conference run by people who think the word ‘ethics’ should come with a monetization strategy. AI is the new god, and the CEOs are its insufferable prophets, blessing us all with another deluge of half-baked promises and “visionary” horseshit. Amen.

Reminds me of the time I automated the intern’s job with a four-line script and told management it was “AI-driven optimization.” They almost made me CTO. Idiots.
