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."
Salesforce Inc(紐約證券交易所代碼:CRM)聘請了喜劇演員約翰·穆拉尼在其 Dreamforce AI 會議上發表演講。但是,穆拉尼沒有藉此機會講解了整個會議、整個人工智能和參加活動的 「開拓者」,而不是開玩笑和搞笑的故事。
據報道,在舊金山舉行的Dreamforce活動有超過40,000人蔘加。演講者陣容包括Salesforce首席執行官馬克·貝尼奧夫、NVIDIA首席執行官黃延森、奧運選手西蒙娜·拜爾斯等。
但是,在會議最後一天發言的穆拉尼似乎對他在出席會議時所看到的一切並沒有留下深刻的印象。據《舊金山標準》報道,穆拉尼曾對觀衆說:「你們中的許多人覺得自己迫在眉睫」。

穆拉尼藉此機會指出了硅谷企業家在這座成千上萬人難以生活和維持基本生活條件的城市中專注於人工智能和未來的諷刺意味。
穆拉尼說:「讓我說清楚。」「你正在一個讓人類慘遭失望的城市舉辦'人工智能的未來'活動?」
除了吹捧整個人工智能行業外,穆拉尼還嘲笑Dreamforce等活動中經常使用的模糊企業術語。
他說:「在過去的三天裏,這裏使用了一些有史以來最模糊的語言。」「這裏有45,000名'開拓者'這一事實再也不能貶值這個頭銜了。」
穆拉尼甚至將活動參與者比作他自己和兒子在玩 wiffle ball。
穆拉尼說:「我們只是兩個傢伙打得不好,互相大喊'幹得好'。」「Dreamforce的能量差不多。」
