    I’m pretty sure the person who chose the music knew and the tech bros all didn’t have a clue nor bothered to listen

      Or the marketing people have research that says the tune matters more than the actual content of the song.

      Hell, they’ve been using “Born in the USA” as a song about Patriotism for decades. For people to make the connection they’d have to think about it critically, which is already more advanced than most advertising is meant to be experienced.

        Or, they know they are pandering to the Lowest Common Denominator of human intelligence/awareness and that the minority that understands that song already know enough not to fall for it anyway.

    BwHahHahHAha.

    How in the fuck is this advert real 🤣

    It’s like onion or adult swim sketch. 🤣

    The complete disconnection and inability for any of these Silicon Valley fuck boys and girls to read the room is absolutely mind blowing.

    Jesus Christ. For a company that lives on stolen private communication, and pretends they know how to interpret it to sell it….

    This clearly disproves it. 😂

    Absolute fucking bellends.

      For those who don’t know the song, the song narrates what a person who has just heard from the news from a sobbing news anchor, that the world has 5 years to live and there is nothing anyone can do, and how this knowledge breaks some people and how it haunts and makes people think of what they can do for the next 5 years moments after hearing the news.

      That is the song they chose to back a Pro AI Optimism Ad.
