Mistral AI inks a deal with global consulting giant Accenture

Oh Fucking Splendid, Another AI Circle Jerk

Mistral AI and Accenture are now in bed together, which basically means some French neural network enthusiasts have decided to sell their souls to the beige-suited devil of global consulting. Because apparently what the world really fucking needed was Accenture consultants bleating about “digital transformation” while billing $400 an hour to paste Mistral’s API calls into PowerPoint decks.

This unholy matrimony means Accenture’s army of clipboard-wielding parasites will now “integrate” Mistral’s language models into enterprises that don’t know their arse from their elbow when it comes to AI. You can already picture the workshops: “Synergizing French LLMs with Blockchain-enabled Agile Cloud Strategies” while the actual engineers who keep the lights on drink themselves into oblivion in the server room.

Mistral probably thinks this’ll help them compete with OpenAI, but all that’s going to happen is their tech gets buried under eighteen layers of Accenture middleware, service buses, and “proprietary frameworks” that are just Python scripts written by interns who cost more per day than your car.

And the clients? They’ll get billed seven figures for a chatbot that recommends restarting the printer in French, then wonder why their “AI transformation” smells suspiciously like burning money.

Reminds me of the time I convinced a consultant that the reason the server was down was because the hard drive platters needed to be manually respun using a special ceremonial dance. Watched that twat spin around the data center for forty minutes before security escorted him out. Best Tuesday of my fucking life.
