Sure, just make it up

“Zuckerberg joined Trump at a White House tech event on Thursday evening and sat next to the president. Trump asked Zuckerberg about Meta’s upcoming investments in AI infrastructure, “How much are you spending, would you say, over the next few years?”

“Oh gosh. I mean, I think it’s probably going to be something like, I don’t know, at least $600 billion through ’28 in the US,” Zuckerberg replied.

Later on a hot mic, Zuckerberg told Trump, “I’m sorry I wasn’t ready to do our– I wasn’t sure what number you wanted to go with.”

The CEO of a publicly traded company just told the orange baby that he made up a number representing projected investments, and coughed that fantasy out into the spew. I’m sure the SEC is going to look into this right away.



About Me

I’m Pete Harbeson, a writer (among other things) located near Boston, Massachusetts. In addition to writing my own content, I’ve learned to translate for my loquacious and opinionated pup Chocolate Bossypaws. No surprise, she mostly speaks in doggerel. You can find her contributions tagged with Chocolatiana.

Check out my newsletter, Artisanal Scribbles, where I’m grappling with writing, authentic human authorship, integrity, and the craft of beauty in the AI age. You can also find some of my old software projects at GitHub. Nothing very impressive. I mostly wrote tiny utilities in Python and shell scripts. I’m mostly retired from coding nowadays.

I find myself suddenly de-corporatized (their choice, not mine). To help keep the lights on, buy me a coffee!
