Every vendor booth at RSA this year: Powered by world-class Al with a proprietary language model, our product offers unbelievably agile, next-gen threat intelligence-based risk management in the dark net on a quantum containerized blockchain employing breathtakingly advanced data science. Built to be compatible with your SIEM & cloud, its zero-trust architecture is programmed in a memory-safe language with no supply chain to monitor!
The others make sense if you drop the extra extra buzz words. Like quantum. Containers exist, the block chain exists, I wouldn’t be surprised if some idiot combined those. Though quantum computing … is not related to normal computing.
Don’t sweat it too much, I think most people struggle with silicon vs silicone. Silicon is the hard stuff used in computer chips, silicone is the soft stuff used in sex toys and boob implants.
A few mnemonic devices that might help you remember which is which:
SiliCON is a semi-CONductor, silicone is not.
(expanded version of the previous) SiliCON is very CONventient when used in computers due to its properties as a semi-CONductor.
Madonna has silly cones.
On the last one, I have no idea if Madonna has breast implants or not, and quite frankly I don’t really care. However, I do know that she has/had a fairly infamous outfit that included a cone-shaped bra. As such, the train of thought goes silicone -> silly cone(s) -> Madonna had silly cones -> breasts -> breast implants.
I once worked for a company which did exactly that - they put the marketing people in charge. It may surprise you to hear that they went from being a large organisation to going bust within a few years.
I’m pretty sure every organization is under some kind of siege by their versions of sales and marketing. In better days those voices get balanced or bested by smarter heads. In worse days, they don’t, marketing takes over and the company is sold for scrap two years later.
