Because the AI works so well, or because it doesn't?

That's kinda wild. I'm kinda shocked they put it in writing.

Why do you think it's wild? I've seen that dynamic before (i.e. too many cooks in the kitchen) and this seems like an honest assessment.

It's a meaningless nonsense tautology? Is that the level of leadership there?

Maybe they should reduce it all to Wang, he can make all decisions with the impact and scope he is truly capable of.
