The story that came out earlier this summer in Bloomberg was pure HBO Silicon Valley-esque hyperbole -> https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-07-17/robot-tax...

The degree I take a company seriously is inversely related to the hype spewed by these articles (see pre 10/2015 Theranos press)

> "Rather than working through the issues in an epic startup for the win, the board chose the path of fear,"

Is this a real person or a Markov chain trained on internet memes and Chicken Soup for the Soul books?

Board should've chosen the path of love: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vivEzQUGHOQ

But hype is part of the culture. I mean, there's a company whose motto was "do no evil".

I hate to be that guy, but it was “don’t be evil” not “do no evil”.

Basically meant “don’t be like Microsoft” back in those days.

Very different meaning than people often assume, and not about hype. More about not letting success get to your head and using it to crush everyone else.

Glad that worked out, right? *this post best viewed in Google Chrome

Companies change over time. Microsoft also isn't the same "evil empire" it was in the late '90s and early '00s.
