Company CEO says Company product will be very important.

Came here to say that. I believe that AI assistance will make a big difference to many professions going forward—certainly any profession that has to deal with large volumes of information, whether it's education, knowledge, or red tape. But I wouldn't conflate that with copilot. I hope that open-source AIs eventually occupy that role.

Imagine the vendor lock in dark patterns to counter competitive AI assistant utility... Even shittier docs, etc.

Just had to use ChatGPT to get help about ASP.Net APIs as the docs are way worse than used to be 10 years ago, and are full of sales plugs for products instead of explaining the basics/architecture/workflow... MS docs used to be quite okay in my experience. (ChatGPT managed to cut through the bullshit and showed me the APIs I needed but were deliberately not mentioned/detailed in the official docs)

In this statement by gabaix, Hacker News reflects on the importance of listening to CEOs endorcing their own products.

(Seriously, what's with the writing in the article? ChatGPT can do better.)

    But what I want to focus on is the power of a visionary leader to set out on bold ambitions and bring ideas to life.

:vomit:

I remember when they were talking about Win 9 (then Win 10). I believed them! Future was so bright on their presentation.

With Win 11 I just went back to Linux.

We all know current state of AI. It's not ready to control a PC yet.

An article by a (former) head coach of CEO's innovation team, nevertheless.

This should have been the entirety of the article.
