I read it. Seems like a reasonable take on a lot of things. I've always thought of Goodnight as one of the five "good" emperors, and it will be a sad day for SAS when he dies.
Yea all the new articles lately seem to be poised and ready for a sale.
It's a good marketing video. JHG made sure to mention his many financial, pharmaceutical, and other customers who provide recurring revenue. And SAS is doing enough AI to check that box, which is absolutely necessary to sell a company in this market.
IMO he would sell, at the right price, but no one has yet offered that price.
SAS has suddenly transformed itself into an AI company. Who knew?!!
