Looks like another alias for Bill Johnson/Dave Beagle/Dick Williams is among us.

Their main product is AI chipsets. I’ll bet many of the “AI is bad and makes stuff up” folks were also “the mainframe is dead” people in 1995.

Like manmade global warming is real. Today, the truth is whatever bull people want to believe. You can find people who believe the earth is flat. (It isn’t) That’s why I always deferred to the experts here. Not the ones who think they are experts but the actual experts. Like Peter Relson. Mark Thomen. (RIP) Roger Miller.

If something tells you what you want to hear all the time what happens to the stuff you really need to hear to keep a close eye on, yes, all the a**hol** out there who want to make/take, it all. Thanks for all your help, be seeing you ...

I want everyone to tell the truth, even if it costs them their jobs". When I first encountered it I thought of it as a mere joke. It was only years later that I realized Goldwyn was telling the exact, literal truth: That is indeed what he wants around him, people who will tell him the truth even if they fear he'll fire them for it. Of course he'd be foolish to fire someone just for that.... --- Bob Bridges, [email protected], cell 336 382-7313 /* The creditors are a superstitious sect, great observers of set days and times. -Poor Richard */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Mike Schwab Sent: Monday, January 13, 2025 17:59 > The ancient Chinese curse of YES men, or YES robots. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN This e-mail transmission contains information that is confidential and may be privileged.
