   @Quentel @vic A lot of these companies that fired a bunch of people as speculation of AI advancements are going to start quietly rehiring both here and abroad in the coming months and will be cancelling their developer accounts when they realize it's just never going to happen.

     Bold and optimistic of you to assume they won't just double down because of how much the out of touch corpos just loooove their sunk cost fallacy.
     At my current job they recently got robots. 10,000 United States dollarydoos each, abd they got three of them. Not only are they themselves slower than a human being, but they actively hinder people's jobs by getting in the way. Of course, we have to accomodate the robots. The corpo execs heard how much the robots are hated and just said we haven't used them enough, we haven't adapted properly. I imagine this AI trash is going to be the same way. How much did these companies pay for empty promises because they read a brochure or techbro memes and didn't know/understand/think about what they were buying?

     I have a better idea: Replace the C-suite with LLMs. You might actually see efficiency gains there.

     @Hoss @WoodshopHandman @Shadowman311 @Quentel @vic Literally every HR and middle management position can be replaced with AI. It would also actually save money.

     Well the C-suite serves at the pleasure of the board, but there's often heavy overlap between the two, especially in the tech sector.

     @Hoss @Quentel @Shadowman311 @vic Of course, but they make the decisions so they'll never opt to willingly get rid of their own job. They have to be inneficient and make up work to do to justify their job.
