God, it’s sad but you’re probably right. We had to implement something AI-related at work because the board all had massive hard ons for the buzzwords. They literally could not have given less of a shit what we used it for. We had full autonomy as long as ChatGPT ended up in our dependency tree somewhere.
Same here. Every all hands at work emphasizes the need to use AI. Except they have no clue what to do with it yet beyond chatbots but we need to use it right now or else.
yeah same. we have an AI assistent now and every meeting has a 'gentle reminder' that the sales people and devs and tech support etc etc should be using it. they're never specific about what we should be using it for and the one time i touched it it didn't seem like it even had access to our documentation.
is it really that simple? this is a massive capitalist company, surely they have to understand that they should be acting to improve their material conditions? random libs not understanding shit is fine, but i thought the actual capitalists themselves understood capitalism. exchanging material wealth for like cyberpunk vibes or whatever is genuinely insane.
In my experience with execs, they find a guiding principle from a book or a conference speaker and treat it like a personal religion. Everything outside of that is very much vibes based. There are a lot of conference talks that try to summarize new tech stuff for execs but it’s very much a short overview followed by practical applications. They don’t understand the stuff experientially unless they happen to do a deep dive on their own.
