I read a profile recently of an AI consultant for CEOs who mentioned in the interview that the CEOs all want to know when they can lay people off.

I really don’t understand how tech people are so spectacularly naive.

They were all making fun of Google for being "behind", when in reality it came down to there being more cautionary voices within Google around this stuff. Not cautionary enough, and they did and now are doing some terribly douchey things (the incident with Timnit Gebru was one of the early warnings there) but they did seem like they were trying to keep at least some of the Jinn corked up.

I actually don't think these execs can replace us with LLMs, but the hype volcano certainly made them think they could. Which says more about the shit understanding they have of what their SWE staff does more than anything else.

Idiots hired like crazy during COVID, and then were surprised that 9 women couldn't make a baby in 1 month... and now they think "AI" is going to fix this for them.

I need a new career.
