> In a recent press release, Shamji was identified as the chief executive of yet another company, DarkByte, which bills itself—in language so laden with jargon that it cannot be explicated—as having something to do with A.I. (Marc Sinden, whom the Shamjis hired at the Mermaid Theatre back in 1993, summarized Akbar’s modus operandi for me as “Big announcement, and then fuck all.”)

Incredibly, a quick search suggests that that very same company DarkByte has entered into a collaboration with Hewlett Packard Enterprise - https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/ai-meets-renewable-...

Give that a read.

> "We are delighted to collaborate with HPE to elevate this AI Cloud Service offering, further capitalizing on the growth of AI applications and building our next-generation digital infrastructure," says Akbar Shamji, CEO of DarkByte

Companies like HPE have partner programs that companies can self register to join.

This is because most MSPs are small mom-and-pop shops and a company like HPE or ServiceNow can't justify the headcount to have a personalized partner program for each MSP or small business.

PRNewswire is also basically an RSS feed. Every company publishes random PR listicles on there. I have no idea why (the newer generation of larger tech companies don't, but legacy ones do), but they do it.

There's a lot of "if the olds do it, we're doing something different" mentality.

RSS = gets emailed / gets indexed. Some people skim the headlines of such news.
