#512It’s so odd to me how companies decided what LLMs are capable of without data backing it up. Were all the execs conned or something ?
Most executives are complete imbeciles when it comes to the actual work their organizations do.

It could also be that business conditions provided a convenient opportunity to run some experiments.

That sounds obvious, but here's the thing: that's what a tautologically good manager does.
They delegate and hire subordinates to do a job. It is by design that the communication won't involve 100% of the work done
You hire people to do a job, not to be a remote controlled puppet

Delegation does not have to be because of a lack of knowledge. In fact, it seems like if one delegates for this reason its probably a sign of trouble to come. We delegate because of lack of time.
I guess its impossible for an executive to know ALL the details of the work they delegate, but I'd be willing to wager that executives who understand the details function better in the long run.
It certainly isn't tautological that executives be imbeciles about the businesses they run.

They were conned because there’s been a massive top down propaganda campaign at the highest levels of corporate America that GAI is right around the corner.

It's almost as if success in business has nothing to do with creating actual value in our society, but instead engaging in a death cult ideology of share value maximization, and that means that reasonable people are out competed in this social system by brain dead ideologues or something.

Things have moved from "no one got fired for buying IBM" to "no one got fired for buying AI".

#520The only job AI's can really replace are in the C-Suite.
