The Inverse Mission Law states:
In a conversation, the time taken to state your company mission is inversely proportional to the dishonesty of that mission.
Put another way: the quicker a company executive rushes to tell you their company mission, the more likely it is bullshit.
I was at an AI conference a few weeks back, and within the first minute the executive proudly informed us their mission was ‘to bring AGI to humanity’. You could almost hear the room collectively thinking: ‘bullshit’.
A more honest mission would have been: ‘to charge all humanity a subscription to access our AI’.
