>>By the time the "free" electricity has paid for the installation, you'll need to replace it. You are going to have to back this up with credible citations. Otherwise it sounds like skepticism from 2008.
You're right, I ran the numbers years ago. I remain as skeptical as I am for roofing lifetime claims.
> Still, some of these stories are surprising. Zeb Evans, the CEO of project management and productivity software startup ClickUp, proudly declared on X that he had laid off almost a quarter of his employees — 22% — after rolling out about 3,000 AI agents to do internal work. As someone who is forced to use ClickUp I can tell you that it's not good software. It wasn't good before this layoff and it hasn't improved si…
We settled on Basecamp and it is a joy to work with. Super fast keyboard shortcuts and easy navigation to projects. I'm glad we don't need the more exotic features in the other project management software, but if we ever do, it will probably be OpenProject, which was the runner up.
In this case the data is the AI output and the learner is the executive.

why not? I have A Modest Proposal: 1. convince CEOs to create digital twins of themselves with OpenClaw, with voice cloning and deepfakes to handle Zoom meetings. convince CEO to encourage their directs to do the same. 2. convince VCs to do the same for pitch meetings and syncs. 3. keep all the humans as randomized and distracted as possible, so they rely more and more on OpenClaw to run the business. 4. prompt injec…

Reminds me of the movie "Dark Star" by John Carpenter / Dan O'Bannon. The plot revolves around a talking smart bomb which is programmed to detonate and then gets stuck before being deployed. The crew spends the whole movie trying to reason with the bomb, hoping to talk it out of blowing up at the designated time. The movie is very very bad but if you like B movies it is also very very good.
Is that movie why seemingly every Linux book in the late 90s and early 2000s used "darkstar" as an example hostname?

It’s more than the C-Suite, it’s everyone who no longer has a knowledge specialty. Their domain is shattered and there is nothing left for them because before LLMs all they did anyway was search for companies to contract out an integration to solve a niche problem. 99% of the C-suites/boards are now this. Your IT guy, scrum master, Product lead, integration team, etc. Everyone who’s chosen to NOT understand because t…
> Everyone who’s chosen to NOT understand because they can offload/contract-away their work and knowledge is under psychosis that LLMs know best.
Right on the money!
These people's ignorance was compensated for by other non-ignorant intelligent people in the organization who actually had knowledge of the domain and tools/techniques for problem-solving. The latter were the ones doing the course-correcting and ensuring things stayed on track for delivery.
With the adoption of AI, ignorance is in the driver's seat viz. "i don't have to know anything since AI will do it for me". I guarantee that a few years down the line when there is enough AI generated messy/obfuscated/wrong code the C-Suites will realize the hole they have dug themselves into and will again look for human engineers to either fix or rewrite the above.
I can't believe we got the dumbest version of Snow Crash
