AI Startup Coffee Bullrun Top

in hindsight this may have been a leading indicator head of coffee at an AI startup is kind of an incredible role ngl Michael Beyne Head of Coffee Experience 07 Early on at Cognition, our Head of Employee Experience noticed someone spending a lot of time hanging around the coffee bar with me. She laughed and said she was impressed: he was one of our founders, and apparently one of the hardest people in the company to get time with. I had no idea. We'd just been talking over coffee. That's what I've always loved about coffee. You can walk into a room knowing nobody and already have a reason to talk to someone. I've built a lot of my life around that. "Head of Coffee at an AI company" was never on the career plan. I got my first barista job in college in Iowa and pretty quickly fell into the community around it. I remember going to a barista competition and watching people from different coffee shops, restaurants, and bars show up for each other. I was brand new, but I already knew: Oh, I want to be part of this. That feeling took me through opening a shop with a friend, roasting, wholesale, and eventually working for a coffee company based in Berlin. That job involved a lot of travel, but I kept finding myself in San Francisco. Eventually, one introduction led to another, and I met the Cognition team.

Пост представляет скриншот поста в X, цитирующего страницу с профилем Майкла Бейна, главы кофейного направления в AI-стартапе Cognition. Шутка в том, что необычная должность «Head of Coffee» задним числом выглядит как ранний сигнал перегрева AI-рынка — аналогично признакам вершины криптовалютного бычьего рынка. Такой мем отправляют, когда находят абсурдный или слишком специфический признак того, что AI-хайп достиг пика. EN: The post shows a screenshot of an X post quoting a profile page about Michael Beyne, the Head of Coffee at the AI startup Cognition. The joke is that the unusual “Head of Coffee” role looks in hindsight like an early sign of an overheated AI market, similar to signs of a crypto bullrun top. People share this meme when they spot an absurd or overly specific sign that AI hype has peaked.
