Yep. My poor recollection sounds like the bogan Australian version.

Sounds like someone has a copy of Gary’s Sports Almanac.

DogeNet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes a racist douche bag at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

“Defense network computers. New.… powerful… hooked into everything, trusted to run it all. They say it got smart, a new order of intelligence. Then it saw all people as a threat, not just the ones on the other side. Decided our fate in a microsecond: extermination.”

That boss wears those deliberately and jokes about suffering from Long Trouser Syndrome (LTS) and that he really likes having LTS versus shorter attire.

The father of IVF says a lot of shit.

I can’t be the only one who thought the voice sounded like Samantha from Her.

Hyundai executive notices a man with a small moustache being hastily ushered out of the X offices main board room.

Hyundai Executive : “Was that Hitler?”

Elon steps in front of board room door : “That wasn’t Hitler, that was a woman.”

Hyundai Executive : “That looked like Hitler.”

Someone more financially competent may want to offer a more accurate answer.

This does not stop companies being successful in IPOs and giving share holders lucrative gains. Take Atlassian as an example of a company seen as successful but is not profitable.
