Who would have thought.
Im sure theres a long list of personnel they ignored
Am I out of touch? No! It’s the customers who are wrong!
And yet in the small town I live in, we will have to continue fighting against the stupid data center that’s probably gonna be redundant by the end of the year…
As intended
Well, thanks for firing everyone because „AI will do it!“.
You love to see it.
Next year, when the bubble bursts, they will all have always been against it…..
Only useful thing I found it for is automating boring shit with python. We save over 300k each year now in admin work. Less admin time charged to projects means we profit more. Having gpt subscriptions for every user in the company is stupid. We have started cutting people who don’t use it properly.
What exactly did they expect?
Most CEOs come from marketing, not systems or technology. They know how to sell narratives, not how to build or lead resilient organizations. AI is not failing. Blaming tools for bad outcomes is lazy. Leadership is the failure.
These companies were already hollowed out by arbitrary metrics and short term optics, and AI simply exposed weaknesses that run counter to those goals. We never blamed a calculator for incorrect math. We pointed back to the user.
We will develop better technology when we cultivate and support better leaders to build it. It has never worked in reverse, and it never will.
They could’ve paid me a fraction of what they’ve burned for the same answer
If only we had some kind of ball. A magical ball as it were. A ball that could foresee the unforeseeable. Should we ask AI if it’s worth it? Would it know? If it did would it tell the truth?
Why would I ever pay for AI? The only thing I use AI is to get mean basic template for emails.
They are paying a bunch of money to lower the value of information. Sounds like a good bet to me.
What? Their billion-dollar investment didn’t produce a return after six months? The fools.
Honestly, there probably are *some* uses cases for AI in the corporate world that help employees be more productive. But companies aren’t going to see a financial payoff from that for some time. Lots of companies went full send into adopting AI just for the sake of keeping up with the industry, even though there wasn’t an obvious material benefit.
It helped me summarize my meetings and maybe write some emails and cover letters.
Thats about it.
Granted I know for my friends who code and program it does help them alot, now they mostly review the code. But then another issue arose – many new hires dont really.know how to program and just give code. Then you have ppl in business and market unit vibe coding and outputs are incorrect, so now they have to validate other departments‘ vibe code. So extra work to review other departments‘ work on top of their own work.
Then leadership layoff 25% of their team because they are not „needed“, because apparently business and market know how to program better than programmers?
Idk. It sounds like a whole lot of mess and gaps
No duh. That’s because they rushed to adopt AI without establishing whether AI would help their business. AI is not a cure all. It can help some but not all businesses.
With OpenAI, there’s no return of investment, and any revenue they get is just more investment, which is just compounding the lack of return.
No shit.
I have only seen layoffs associated with AI.Go figure that this was a major news item for a bit combined with data centers impacting energy and pollution noise and otherwise and no news on how this is beneficial for humanity.
People are making porn with AI now so yeah that’s it?
The more this AI build out continues and we hear all the wonders that the technology will bring us, I’m starting to think that the naysayers and critics pushing the idea that this whole thing is going to crash down under the weight of itself could in fact be more right than I ever thought.
Crazy this is happening after the first of the year. Crazy an economic pivot in this particular quarter.
lol the big pay off at my work was using co-pilot for generating meetings notes. We pay significantly extra for some data sovereignty requirements. But a c level thinks it’s worth it, due to the fact the rest of us just like it for the notes feature.
„CEOs“
monopolies. these companies make hand over fist and dont care about losses because they are monopolies.
meta is a monopoly. google is a monopoly. microsoft is monopoly. amazon is a monopoly.
