Gemini pro. The flow chart, color-coding, tables etc are just latex. The illustrations are picked off the web. I suspect I might have to hire a professional photographer eventually.
>The flow chart, color-coding, tables etc are just latex. The illustrations are picked off the web Thanks for replying so quickly! Just to clarify, what do you mean by latex? So you don't use AI-generated illustrations. Those are real.
If writing is thinking then what happens if AI is doing the writing and reading?

#102I think Sinofsky is asking a question: what does the future look like given that (a) writing is thinking but (b) nobody reads and (c) LLMs are being used to write and read. It's that (already) old joke: we give the LLM 5 bullet points to write a memo and the recipient uses an LLM to turn it back to 5 bullet points. Some plausible (to me) possibilities: 1. Bifurcation: Maybe a subset of knowledge workers continue to w…
The executives in example three seem redundant and a cost center we can eliminate.
You might be missing that exactly the executives are the ones who can and will eliminate people. Why should they eliminate themselves? They'd rather use the same AI to invent a reason for them to stay.

>Transformation: Maybe the AI does the thinking. Would that be so bad? The board of directors sets goals and approves the basic strategy.
We've already lost the war if we only consider this from a busines aspect.
AI "doing the thinking" will cover all of society and aspects of life, not just office job automation.

Ahh. Thanks. Hadn't heard of this system, so obviously the word had me confused, especially without the specific capitalization.

#107more people turn into pure, uncritical consumers, the unthinking majority grows stronger--congratulations, general--and larger.
trends, hypes get a lot more easy reach and have more impact and there's also gonna be a lot more trends and hypes. you'll need pharmaceuticals and psychedelics to cope. I recommend investing in retreats and fill and run it with pretty, soothing, equanimous, characters/people. don't forget the petting zoo.
whale carried motions and marketing campaigns bypass psychological bias, fallacies, and emotions via pure mere exposure and literal indoctrination.
context loses relevance, and makes room for liminal but revenant, recurring, reused micro dogmas
all for quick, easy and conforming licks. like those easy 5 bullet points both workers won't remember and will have to be looked up, shall they become contextual in the rare case of contradistinctive dogma(s).

For anyone who wants to watch, there are a few endings in similar flavors to the Blade Runner endings.
I guess like the Penfield Mood Organ you can dial how you want to feel. But you probably shouldn’t pick ‘good’.
you should probably let a machine pick for you, one that is aware of the choices made for others

> The AI decides how to allocate resources, align incentives, and communicate plans
Not gonna happen. The resources, incentives and plans even are almost exclusively about communication and people work. You can run as many optimization algorithms as you want, but an organization is ultimately made of people, and even in small startups the complexity and nuance involved in resource allocation planning and communication is too big for anything that is not a mega-super-AI to handle. Hell, in most companies these parts are incredibly dysfunctional now ...

> 1. Bifurcation: Maybe a subset of knowledge workers continue to write and read and therefore drive the decisions of the business. The remainder just do what the LLM says and eventually get automated away. This already happens. Being the person who writes the doc [for what we wanna do next] gives it ridiculous leverage and sway in the business. Everyone else is immediately put in the position of feedbacking instead…
> Being the person who writes the doc
If only people read them. Everyone is so pressured by made up goals, fake deadlines and horrible communication, that nobody ever wants to read more than a bullet point or two.
