Silicon Valley tech elites adopt smoking as a trend
A new trend has emerged among tech elites in Silicon Valley, where smoking is being adopted as a philosophical statement and networking tool. According to reports, some AI researchers are using smoking to signal absolute confidence in their technology, suggesting that they believe artificial intelligence will eventually cure diseases like cancer.
Business leaders and venture capitalists have noted that smoking is becoming a networking trend. Some entrepreneurs report using it to build client relationships in social settings, while others suggest it provides young tech founders with a 'laissez-faire' or rebellious aura when interacting with employees and investors.
