We hit that bullseye and the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards.

But that is how CEO assholes work (or try to until they can’t get away with it)

To be fair, though, if you were in a game of chess where you could make 10 moves for every one move your opponent makes, it would be really easy to win that game of chess.

I feel so fucking dirty for saying those words. Good god.

I don’t want to ruin this meme, but he’s saying a real thing in a confusing way. You have to think 10 moves ahead of your opponent and also the repercussions of each move at every step.

Zero points for saying it wrong, though.
“You miss every shot you take”
“The only thing we do not fear is fear itself”
“Interrupt your opponent when he is making a mistake”

There is a wonderful cartoon book by Tom Weller called “Minims”. A minim is the opposite of a maxim. So the book is full of illustrations of wisdom like “The early worm gets eaten by the bird.” and “You’ll catch more flies with honey than you’d care to.” The book’s subtitle is “Man is the only animal that wears bow ties.”
(Although, I have to admit, my husky sometimes wears bow ties and he looks a lot better in them than I do.)

No, he said a real thing in a completely factually wrong way, and that’s assuming that this “entrepeneur” actually understood it correctly, which I doubt.
Malfeasant@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I mean, that’s kind of the point - someone else wiser said the real thing, then Mr smarty-pants heard it, didn’t understand it, but thought it sounded cool so began repeating what he thought he heard to people who also don’t know any better, but like the way he says it so they give him their money to play with. Business/capitalism in a nutshell.

But he’s correct. If you’re rich enough you can bribe all the seconds, then you can make extra moves and irregular moves. Heck, you can just have all the seconds declare you victor.
For extra points, hire guys with guns to make sure everyone at the tournament agrees with your rules.
This is the state of modern neoliberal capitalism from the view of billionaire oligarchs and multi-national conglomerate corporations.

Alpha in the software sense: pre-release, lots of bugs, definitely not ready for production, sale, or wide public viewing.

So we can ship it tomorrow? Great I just told the investors, so we’re now leagly obligated to ship it tomorrow.

I gave up on playing chess. The game has become such a metaphor, such a fetish symbol for intellect, so every dude “knows how to play”, but won’t risk the humiliation of loss, and therefore won’t play. I don’t enjoy online chess, so I just don’t get to play.

I hear you can cheat at chess by sticking a vibrator in your ass.
Maybe that’s what the rich CEOs are doing to win

I “know” how to play chess but when I try to play against a computer I constantly get reminded I can’t move my piece there because I would be putting myself in check.
Pretty sure I’ve only won 2 chess games in my life. … Against someone at my level.

Chess isn’t actually a logic game or a smarts game, it’s a memory game. If you’re a computer or one of those 15-people-per-generation chess brains, then yeah, you probably can logic your way into thinking enough moves ahead. If not, your only option is to remember a bunch of different plays and learn how to recognise and execute the preditermined strategies. If you try to do it your way, you will be stuck losing to a bad computer or chess club kids online

No no, this makes sense, you literally need to cheat.

It works for the crooks in charge.
But the people paying for these kind of alpha boot camps aren’t ever going to be in that position. They’ll just put on blinders and “hustle” like a good little worker.
