Summary

The speaker, Josh, is playing a game called "Smartphone Tycoon" and is acting as the CEO of a company. The game involves creating and selling smartphones, hiring employees, and upgrading the office. Josh starts by hiring employees with low ratings and experience, but eventually hires Francis for his high rating and experience. They create a phone called the "Eavesdropper" with a resolution of 480x800 and a price of $1,600. The phone is initially unsuccessful, but after multiple upgrades and changes, it becomes a hit, selling over 484,000 copies. The company's profits exceed 700 million dollars, and Josh decides to upgrade the office, which costs a million dollars. The office is upgraded multiple times, and eventually, the company's office becomes so large that it's difficult to find all the employees. Josh then decides to hire everyone, regardless of their qualifications, and the company's profits continue to rise. The game eventually reaches a point where the company has 993 quadrillion dollars, but the game crashes when the company tries to create the ultimate phone.
