Not necessarily if the remaining one idea is still garbage.
It's not. That's the purpose of filtering them.
How many turds should i filter though until I suddenly find gold?

#132> Two distinct patterns of AI use emerged: “Centaurs,” who divided and delegated tasks between themselves and the AI, and “Cyborgs,” who integrated their workflow with the AI. It was nice of them to explain that the article was total horse dung before having to read the whole paper
Indeed, I had two double check the authors before finally quickly browsing over it in disappointment

#134If this is how so called consultants use AI… they should be very concerned.
A moderately skilled intern with GPT Enterprise connected to data will make them quickly obsolete. Maybe they have some potential building their own fine tuned model but surely they will screw that up

#135Didn’t have many interactions which BCG so far but in both we had, I was surprised at how much money they get for reshuffling information from what is all common knowledge and available in the net. I can see that this is something LLMs can do really well. It’s exactly the kind of “creativity” LLMs can do: “apply concept X to market / niche Y and give ideas on monetizing”.
I don’t blaim BCG for doing this, they are giving an outside view and political uninfluenced (except for the party that pays the tap) view.

The magic is in: A) Forming cross company cliques (a lot of C suite is ex consultant and they scratch each others' backs). B) ego stroking and typical sales ("this executive is a visionary who must be furnished with top quality steak and strippers") C) Letting you know on the sly what their other customers are doing that seems to be working. D) Providing industrial grade ass cover for decisions that the C suite want…
Don’t underestimate the ass covering. I recon 60% of management consulting work is just to ass cover for a director with no conviction
The more expensive the cover the better.
“I paid a world-class consulting consultant company top dollar to vet this idea and they produced ton of documents about how great it was. And, yet it failed. But, I’m not at fault here. What more would you have had me do?”
There was an article on HN years ago about top grade from Harvard-like schools being sucked into consulting companies and discovering their job was to be paid tons of money writing reports that support whatever the exec of the moment wanted to hear.

#137Pipe /dev/random, transform to decimal, and you just got an amazing increase in performance for calculating decimals of Pi. Nobody said precision was important anyway.
We're not trying to hit a comet with a rocket here. 1 significant figure is more than sufficient for an initial consultation. Any additional accuracy required would be billable follow-on work.
