High Ticket

by C. Scott Lannon

Marcus Chen is a software engineer watching his Amazon business die. He buys a ticket to an AI marketing conference in Austin expecting bad PowerPoints and overpriced coffee. What he finds is a parallel universe of guru kings, fake revenue screenshots, and a 'proprietary AI platform' that is literally a white-labeled ChatGPT. Then his engineer's brain starts pulling threads, and the comedy turns darker.
