Google cuts jobs at cloud-computing group

The feeling into "fact" flow:

Step 1) "I don't like thing"

Step 2) "I really wish thing didn't exist."

Step 3) "Thing is probably dying/dead."

Step 4) "If event happened, it would really show thing is dying/dead."

Step 5) "Event can happen."

Step 6) "Event will happen."

Step 7) "Event is happening!"

Step 8) "Events 1, 2 and 3 can/will/are happening which forms a narrative proving thing is dying/dead."

Have you considered a career as a journalist?

Please don't cross into personal attack. That's against the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

Your comment wouldn't be too bad without the last sentence.

> Have you considered a career as a journalist?

I really have no skin in this game one way or another. I don't work with cloud companies, I don't make money with non-cloud things either. And I don't give a toot about how this unfolds because I think all things that Tech brings forward these days are bad for humans and society. So whether it's the cloud or ActivityPub or motherfuckers who believe the blockchain will cure the worlds ills ... the only thing that is on my mind is making it until spring, so that I can fuck off again into the woods for a couple of months and not think about it.

But go on with your vague insults if it eases your own personal suffering.

This response is just rude and adds nothing to the discussion.

It is rude, but the OP says "the cloud is dead" What!? That deserves to be called out.

OP prefaced by saying "outrageous prediction" - admitting plainly its pure speculation. If s/he didn't do that, that would be something that deserves to be called out.

Stating you're making a wild claim, in advance, doesn't mean you can avoid the responses to it.

Maybe they mean it'll just go back not being a thing, like it was in 2009.

All comments, by definition, add something to the discussion.

While I am not a fan of the closing sentence of this comment, the steps and flow are something I observe regularly today (in person and online). Is there a phrase for this type of information transformation?
