#32No comment on the content of the article, but I have to say bravo to whoever wrote that headline.
Reminds me of the Arrested Development scene: Bob Loblaw Lobs Law Bomb.

#33>>“… wonders why people aren't more annoyed with AI companies “ Outside a small bubble within Silicon Valley and the finance ecosystem funding it, I’d say most folks are increasingly fed up with AI. It’s a very noticeable shift these last 6 months. The mood went from excited, to just annoyed at all the slop and folks using AI as a half-baked easy button vs doing real deep value-add thought. Business is also noticing…
I think it's just hard to know this for the people working on it. AI radically changed my life. I'm doing at least 10 times more, more ambitious, higher quality work. I've been listening to people around me talking about alignment and the singularity for almost a decade. It's strange to imagine that people live in a world where this isn't and hasn't been happening for a while now. "Over-hyped" is not the word I would…

#34There is like 0 cost for distribution, switching and using LLMs "AI" and other tools. Whatever comes, comes to everybody. There is basically 0 first movers advantage, that cannot be overcome in couple of months when new usefull tools become available.

Is the CDOs statement to be read as "We have no moat."?
Re: Enough with the AI FOMO, go slow-mo, says Domo CDO
#37the problem is that companies fundementally misunderstand what the true issue is at hand: companies should be afraid of what smaller groups of people can accomplish now.
mid to large sized companies always had to man-power to produce anything they could imagine and AI is not going to change that.
what will change is that your paid product will become free because someone got annoyed at a bug with your paid product, remade it with AI and made it opensource or for a fraction of the price.
the floor has been raised while the ceiling will stay relatively the same, most medium to large companies were already hovering around the ceiling so at the end of the day the framework that these companies were built on is crumbling and that's what should make them afraid, not the fact that they're 'missing out' on AI.

i have had domo pushed on me in a company and i did everything in my power to get us to cancel that subscription and we did. it was such a waste of money. If I was able to rebuild our entire reporting workflow in a month, imagine how fast it is to now do that with LLMs?
I don't believe LLMs make SAAS useless, but there are a subset of SAAS companies that AI truly does obviate. Among them are companies like DOMO, whose business model is best described as selling the fantasy of the "data-driven" org to leadership. They floated off the fumes of yesterday's hype. It's kind of painful to see how they're trying to inject themself into this cycle.
also what – chief design officer and futurist for DOMO?? what do they do? sorry to be a dick about it but a quote like "why aren't people more resentful that these companies have pushed this technology upon them" lacks a lot of self awareness lol.
