    Maybe the smartest people in the room are the ones we least expect.

    I mean, they are a bunch of rocket scientists. That’s the group everyone has expected to be the smartest people in the room for about a century. 😁

      I thought that was AI people.

      Turns out … thats not working out so well.

      In everything other than the /lets literally build SkyNet/ department.

          Well the only relevant idiom I can think of here is:

          Elon Musk is a stupid person’s idea of what a smart person is.

          Or, this isnt really an idiom but maybe uh:

          Fascists? In my NASA? I did Nazi that one coming.

          Sorry, my joke generating subroutine has not been updated since the time that the rocket scientist idiom you mention was popularized.
