    Pivot seems inadequate as a term here. You could pivot from making shoes to work gloves.

    But from shoes to AI infrastructure? That’s more “my company failed, and using the same name and corporate structure is a way to save money on my unrelated business idea”.

        No no they got new idiots to throw new cash at them. Around 50 million for the equipment.

        This is reusing the warehouse like they are a “gig worker” renting out their airbnb.

    The warning signs of the current stock market can’t flash any brighter, I’m afraid. It’s a complete casino now, again. Only this time the actual mafia runs the show.

    I loved their shoes back in the day, but they completely failed to turn the initial success into a proper footwear company. Sad story. Even worse it will end as some kind of AI crap.
