Salesforce Paid John Mulaney To Speak At Its Event — Then He Roasted The Entire Company And Audience
Salesforce Inc (NYSE:CRM) hired comedian John Mulaney to speak at its Dreamforce AI conference. But, instead of light-hearted jokes and funny stories, Mulaney took the opportunity to roast the entire conference, AI as a whole and the 'trailblazers' attending the event.
The Dreamforce event, held in San Francisco, reportedly had more than 40,000 attendees. The lineup of speakers included Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, Olympian Simone Biles and more.
But Mulaney, who spoke during the last day of the conference, seemed unimpressed by what he saw while attending. At one point, Mulaney told the crowd, "So many of you feel imminently replaceable," according to the San Francisco Standard.

Mulaney took the opportunity to point out the irony of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs focusing on AI and the future in a city where thousands of humans struggle to live and maintain basic living conditions.
"Let me get this straight," Mulaney said. "You're hosting a 'future of AI' event in a city that has failed humanity so miserably?"
In addition to roasting the entire AI industry, Mulaney also poked fun at the vague corporate lingo often used at events like Dreamforce.
"Some of the vaguest language ever devised has been used here in the last three days," he said. "The fact that there are 45,000 'trailblazers' here couldn't devalue the title anymore."
Mulaney even compared the event attendees to himself and his son playing wiffle ball.
"We're just two guys hitting wiffle balls badly and yelling 'good job' at each other," Mulaney said. "It's sort of the same energy here at Dreamforce."
赛富时公司(纽交所:CRM)聘请喜剧演员约翰·穆兰尼在其Dreamforce人工智能大会上演讲。但穆兰尼并非带来轻松的笑话和有趣的故事,而是抓住机会狠批整个大会、整个人工智能行业和参加活动的“开拓者”们。
据报道,旧金山举办的Dreamforce活动吸引了超过40,000名参与者。演讲嘉宾阵容包括赛富时CEO马克·贝尼奥夫、英伟达CEO黄仁勋、奥运冠军西蒙·拜尔斯等。
然而,穆兰尼在大会最后一天发言时似乎对所见的情况不满。有一次,穆兰尼告诉观众:“你们中的很多人都觉得自己随时可以被替代。” 据《旧金山标准报》报道。

穆兰尼抓住机会指出硅谷创业者注重人工智能和未来的讽刺之处,而这个城市数千人却苦于生存和维持基本生活条件。
穆兰尼说:“让我弄明白一件事,”他说:“在一个对人类失败如此惨重的城市举办一个关于人工智能未来的活动?”
除了狠批整个人工智能行业,穆兰尼还取笑像Dreamforce这样的活动中经常使用的模糊公司术语。
他说:“这里在过去三天中使用的可能是最模糊的语言。这里有45,000名‘开拓者’并不能进一步贬低这个头衔。”
Mulaney甚至将参与活动的与他和他儿子玩塑料垒球相提并论。
"我们只是两个打塑料垒球打得很烂,然后互相大声说'干得好'的家伙," Mulaney说。"在Dreamforce这里感觉有点相似。"
