The couch fascinate me the most because it's almost justifiable. Like offices need furniture and grand openings should be nice; however the cost could never be recovered and the company was way too big to be doing things that don't scale.

In a similar vein, LLM's/AI are clearly impressive technologies that can be done profitably. Spending billions on a model however may not be economically feasible. It's a great example of runaway spending, whereas the weed thing feels more along the lines of a drug problem to me.
