we have to be intentional in how we architect our company for the agentic AI era in order to supercharge the value we deliver to our customers
🤮
The MBAs have won.
JFC, this marketing speak makes me wanna slap someone. I’m not sure how you can so many words and so little.
Employees across the company from engineering to HR to finance to marketing run thousands of AI agent sessions each day to get their work done
Meanwhile the employees:
This is like measuring a carpenter’s work output by how much they use their hammer, not how much gets actually built. I hope every company that does this sorta bullshit goes belly up.
Jokes on them I’ve been training ai to seize the means of production
Less money for middle class and more money for investors owning Nvidia, OpenAI, Anthropic.
Make no mistake about what’s happening, that’s wealth transfer from the bottom to the top.Not even investors. Majority shareholders/BoD.
And with how this particular AI technology only works by consuming all of the internet’s and our libraries’ data … it’s not just a transfer, it’s pretty much theft.
“works” is a bit too strong
Every company that fires people for AI is going to regret it so much in the long run…
the long run…
But…line go up for next quarter right?
No one is firing workers for AI. They’re correcting the size of their workforce after decades of overhiring and using AI as an excuse — to make it look like a good, forward-looking business decision, instead of showing that it’s fixing a mistake that went on for so long.
Nah I’m sorry you’re dead wrong. My last job we straight up got rid of 95% of our HR department and all of our interns and were replaced with ChatGPT Enterprise licenses. Then they laid off the graphic design department and left just the head of the department and 2 staff. Then I was laid off alongside over half of the IT department.
If your company did indeed lay off 95% of HR and replaced it with ChatGPT you need to find another job somewhere like now. They are about two lawsuits from not existing.
I understand what you were told, but none of those functions are being replaced by AI, they functionally cannot be.
Lmao so you know better than what I saw my company actually do? You’re absolutely out to lunch. I wasn’t told any of this. I watched it happen. Log off and delete your account 🤡.
Doubt it. The plan is to rehire them at less money with less benefits once their savings are gone. It’s already happening, salaries are down already. I’m starting to see 80-100k ranges for senior developers.
Still a short term win. Longer term, this will likely kill youth appetite for pursuing dev as a career option.
it’s also resulting in fresh grads that don’t know anything. this is naturally by design. within the past couple years I’ve come across so many new devs that just don’t know jack. can they answer tickets? sure. can they provide prompts to an agent? yes. beyond that? good luck. and their salaries reflect this.
They’ve already had a spate of serious, unprecedented outages affecting half the internet.
So I guess that means the only place to go from there is to double down, eh?
A bit ironic they offer a service to keep away AI bots from scanning websites, but say AI use is making them so productive they have to lay people off.
So AI bad or good? Getting whiplashed here.
The main selling point of that feature is to charge for access to scraping websites.
They don’t care that your website gets scraped, they care about getting paid when someone does it.
Obviously, its a non-binary answer.
Besides which, why wouldnt they make money preventing other people from scraping websites, while scraping the traffic that flows through their network.
keep away AI bots from scanning websites
Specifically: Scrapers operated by individuals rather than big, important companies. On one hand, this significantly cuts down on the volume of scraping. On the other, it restricts control of the AI market to a select class of people who are important enough to get by the bot protection.
The root problem, obviously, is that the “AI market” is generally directed at that select class.
AI bad or good?
AI good. Non-rich people bad.
ceo bad. pumch up
Brave move after recent years
