Pivot Memes

Allbirds makes comfortable shoes. But apparently someone in their marketing department decided the brand needed to pivot to AI because that's what gets you funding in 2024. The joke writes itself: they're literally called "Allbirds" but now they're trying to be an AI company. It's like if your local bakery suddenly announced they're doing blockchain. The Mad Men presentation format is *chef's kiss* here because it captures that corporate desperation energy where companies slap "AI" on everything hoping investors won't notice they still just... sell shoes. Next quarter: "Allbirds Neural Network-Powered Sustainable Footwear Solutions with Machine Learning Insoles."
