Every CEO's new headache: β€œThe board told me to do AI.” πŸ˜…

But when you ask why β€” silence. It's the same story we saw with websites and Facebook pages β€” everyone wanted one, but few knew the purpose.

Maybe it's time to stop the buzz and start the understanding. πŸ’‘

πŸ’‘ "AI makes coding faster!" - but are we counting all the costs?
Working with dev teams, I've seen the gap between hype and reality. The trade-offs are real and worth understanding.

Yesterday, my VPS control panel showed 10GB/100GB. Now, it's plus 1, making it 11GB/100GB. It seems like I have little to be concerned about, and maybe I can reduce the remote data retention to only 3 to 1 day, making it more efficient. πŸ˜„ Federation isn't my main focus for my server, I think. But I prefer to have an audience that chooses to read my posts, whether they are trusted acquaintances, friends, family, or others. πŸ˜„

Amodei, Altman, labour market forecasts, alleged unemployment, shifting skills, and seller hoaxes.

Yes, the discussion deserves a lot of attention, but at this stage the hype mixed with communication from lobbies and pure sales activities leads to putting together easy correlations on some data.

Even two years ago hallucinating scenarios were told (or rather here, hallucinated πŸ™ƒ), related to the adoption of GenAI.

When we look at these scenarios today, in the light of the real data not on adoption but above all on the steps backwards compared to corporate contracts, we realise that things are always a little more complicated on the ground.

It is true that automation takes away space for juniors, but it is also true that for everyone else new figures are becoming necessary, IT jobs are not decreasing (despite the initial layouffs rushed by many US companies that now re-employ them with different job descriptions), because today there are gains in overall productivity that are laughable with an increase in pressure on individuals (and the levelling logics suggest that when a technology reaches everyone, it increases performance but not the volume of work).

Drawing conclusions in these moments, when you are too attentive to bubbles like this here - and less to data and research (the real one, not the one of the sellers' reports!) - leads to bad decisions.

Ah, the Internet: one little BGP hiccup and suddenly the world is in chaos, proving once again that the web's stability is held together by a fragile thread of questionable tech decisions πŸ€‘πŸ”§. You'd think with the bajillion-dollar tech budgets, someone might've seen this coming β€” but nah, let's just keep winging it! πŸš€πŸ’₯
