Regarding "AI", at least this CTO is cautious, but also says: “Most jobs at this point can benefit from AI.”
That is of course incorrect. I'm waiting for a CTO who dismisses "AI" outright. That is probably too dangerous in the current climate.
AI is shorthand for “we have no clue how to solve this problem, but AI can do it for us.”
I wish that that wasn’t the case. Generative AI is a very cool tech, not magic. And machine learning, the “other” AI, powers much of what we consider normal in our tech interactions.
I find this ironic, given that it is extremely difficult to have an AI solve a problem that you cannot, yourself, solve in some capacity.
Triggers will come from outside. But thanks to "scale" even after that their response will be "too big to fail" protect our ass please.
That's how they survive after the Iraq/Afg fiasco, 2008 GFC. Wikileaks/Panama papers etc
