The Enterprise AI Land Grab: Another Bloody Gold Rush

Alright, strap the hell in. Apparently, every goddamn tech company on the planet has decided that what the world *really* needs is more “enterprise AI” — as if one more AI platform will magically stop people from forgetting their Slack passwords. The article bangs on about how Glean, that perky little startup, is trying to plant its flag under the shiny AI interface everyone’s drooling over. You know, in the metaphorical dirt where actual useful things might grow, if the soil wasn’t already soaked in VC money and buzzwords.

So here’s the deal: Glean doesn’t want to be another “look at our chatbox” company. Nope, they want to “build the layer beneath the interface,” whatever the hell that means. Basically, they’re gluing together your company’s mess of data so the LLMs can look clever without flailing around like a goldfish with amnesia. They’re betting big that everyone’s gonna realize they need reliable, connected data instead of a parade of half-trained digital idiots hallucinating nonsense.

And you can bet your last overpriced GPU that every other damn enterprise AI vendor is clawing for the same turf. It’s a bloody digital Hunger Games out there — one where startups pitch “productivity” but really just want to sell you another layer of complexity and invoices. Glean’s big selling point: they already know how the messy enterprise sausage is made, and now they want to be the secret sauce under your AI burger. Cute. Real cute.

In short: Glean’s trying to become the duct tape that keeps your rotting tech stack from collapsing while your CEO brags about “embracing AI transformation” at some overpriced summit. Everyone’s fighting for their slice of the AI pie, but honestly, it’s the same old feeding frenzy — only now it’s wrapped in machine learning glitter and venture capital fumes.

Reminds me of the time some exec asked me if we could “add AI” to the printer queue to “make it smarter.” So I told him sure, I’ll train it to swear at him when it’s out of toner. That got me written up. Worth it.
