I've come down with a bad case of tronchitis.

Is machine learning the new cloud computing?

As in the new bullshit tech buzzword that changes almost nothing but bloats all the big tech companies with worthless and meandering projects that start vague never materialize into anything concrete but somehow spread like between them like a sort of tech company syphilis?

The words "future of journalism" appeared and I immediately started laughing.

Journalism isn't about FINDING a story, it's about MAKING a story from everything we find on Reddit, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Optimized for today's consumer...mobile, instant, on the go, tracked, stacked and packed with media. 5 likes guaranteed!

"We personally believe that journalists are unable to do so because, uh, some, uh, people out there in journalism don't have artificial intelligence and, uh, we believe that our future of journalism like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, we believe that they should, our Tronc over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future. For our journalism."

This is a parody, It's 100% word salad.

Either that or this is blatant tech fraud targeting an industry that should know better by professional definition, but is somehow too stupid for their own job descri... oh god, this isn't a parody, is it?

No one sentient exists.

Somehow, "journalism" is the most meaningful word being used.

PS if we hit these targets you're all laid off next year.

Increased revenue and optimized content through technology-driven interactive user-based synergy! Are you excited? I'm excited!

This is an employee video? Can you imagine the terror in those meeting rooms, as they watch this?
