Wait, lying is an option?

Gross.



what if lying is the real superpower of ceos and all those marketing blogspams were also lies


As far as I can tell this is exactly true


right, CEO as a service it is then.


You're in luck! We're offering a brand new moral-spinedectomy operation, guaranteed to turn mushy humanity into glorious ~~psychopathy~~ - I mean leadership!

Got a CEO who just can't do the right thing (for the shareholders)? We offer up to 20-way split billing so the whole board of directors can chip in for the surgery!

Four-hour recovery before your CEO is ready to do ANYTHING to meet quarterly expectations, no matter how cruel and capricious! Or your money back!


What do you mean board of directors? The goal is to get rid of everyone not using their hands. Everyone answers to the E-CEO from janitor and security to clients, investors and human externalities. Every query answered immediately, to the point, everyone informed exactly to the right extend and at the right moment, all data driven. Instant bonuses if you demonstrate human usefulness beyond the job description.

Every lie can finally be believable and be completely consistent with the rest of the hallucinated universe. Perfectly timed lies that trade reputation for profit at the correct exchange rate.

Complete "awareness" of the exact value of every asset in the company and the audacity to act on it.


Always has been.


you don't need to lie. come up with 50 pitch decks, submit all of them, which ever gets the most feedback probably also has more market fit so go with that.

I'm not 100 percent on what I want to build, I just know it'll involve ai models, automation, and autonomous agents. The way money is flowing to this space. I think a rough idea and a good team is all you need for funding.


That is one of the wrongest-sounding things I have ever read, as you can tell from the track-record of VC-first incubators. (and the effectiveness of the VC industry in aggregate)


"you don't need to lie. come up with 50 pitch decks, submit all of them, which ever gets the most feedback probably also has more market fit so go with that."

All you're getting is feedback on what VCs like the most...

Don't 90% (or a high percentage) of their investments to go bust?


Yup, but at least you know they’ll give you, money.
