I think it is CEO's job to keep investors hope high. A engine doesn't work like magic anyway, you are always going to customize it. Thinking TensorFlow as a engine. I don't see anything wrong with that. Anything can be boring, and CEO has to make it exciting. I have this experience with my recent project that I am in charge of, the team facing a lot of doubts and pushes because I didn't draw the picture sexy enough for management. CEO takes on the task of making sure investors are happy to keep the company going and making sure team members are happy as well. What you see is 80% of the value of your company, and the CEO sees 120%, that's the difference and it is the right thing to do.
- austinjp 8y agoLying to investors is not okay, and OP describes a CEO who they believe is flagrantly lying. This is a kind of "excitement" no company needs.
- badpun 8y ago> This is a kind of "excitement" no company needs. Citation needed? It would be good to have a (probably impossible to perform) study that compares the performance of companies where CEO is lying vs the ones where they're only telling the truth. From my personal experience, I've seen a lot of success built on lies.
- heathl 8y agoIt's questioning the ethics of lying, not the production advantages of being unethical. The two of you have different priorities. You are both right and both wrong. It's not really the kind of thing that requires a citation. However it's trivial to Google and see there are a whole range of opinions on the matter.
- ionised 8y agoSo, lies and deceit to increase investor confidence? Wasn't this a big factor in the financial crash? Doesn't seem like a good plan at all.
