> Tools For Humanity is actually partnering with Thirty Seconds to Mars on their 2027 European tour. While TFH has not disclosed the actual reason for the false Bruno Mars announcement, it looks a bit like a case of mistaken identity. Pretty ironic, since the company’s whole shtick is supposedly verifying human identities.

- semiquaver 6mo agoHow could this mixup possibly lead to the head of product announcing a Bruno Mars collaboration on stage??? I’m trying to imagine the series of events that could lead to this happening and I’m coming up woefully short.
- mattas 6mo agoThis really sounds like an AI voice agent transcribed "Thirty Seconds to Mars" to "30 seconds for Bruno Mars" and then no one actually proof-read the thing.

- Mashimo 6mo agoProbably like the children game "Broken Telephone" or "Gossip" where after a long chain of word of mouth input does no longer match output. Sprinkle communication between different companies on top of that. Thirty Seconds to Mars -> "The Mars band" -> ?? -> Bruno Mars

It is totally a mistake I could see a product management director having been corrected on a dozen times but they keep making it.
- RobRivera 6mo agoI have to ask you for coaching advice here, as I may or may not be experiencing similar things. Does the correction impact your political capital? I am a firm believer in critique in private, but in key meetings where capabilities are the inputs to other discussion, it is difficult to bite my tongue
- sophacles 6mo agoIt's a simple tale, one as old as time - the religious scammers started believing their lies and drank the kool-aid.
- alqpejfjfb 6mo agoIt’s hard to spin it as a mixup when both acts were announced at the event.
- oersted 6mo agoQuite reminiscent of the "Four Seasons Total Landscaping" debacle :)
- appplication 6mo agoThat was like living out and episode of Arrested Development in real time. I have a hard time recalling it without mentally casting Jeffrey Tambor as Rudy Giuliani.
- EGreg 6mo agoWow! Yes it does sound exactly like that. Reality really can be stranger than fiction

- danesparza 6mo agoActually, they are partnering with "The Martian" book tour. They're brining it back, baby!
