When will our society realize that existence of billionaire oligarchs threatens the well-being being and existence of the resort of humanity. Their political conventions consistently call for the elimination of anyone who disagrees with their point of views

I recently joined a project where the manager greeted me cheerfully that my new task is fully described and specified in a technical architecture doc. The manager left shortly after and considered my onboarding complete. It took the next couple of weeks to realize that the docs were AI generated, surprisingly detailed and accurate. However they were largely irrelevant to the actual problem the client has.

I was later asked why is it taking so long to complete the task when the document had a step by step recipe. I had to explain why the AI was solving the wrong problem in the wrong place. The PMs did not understand and scheduled more meetings to solve the problem. All they knew is that tickets were not moving on the board.

I suddenly realized that nobody had any idea of what’s going on at all on a technical level. Their contribution was to fret about target dates and executive reports. It’s like a pyramid scheme of technical ignorance. The consequence is some ICs forced to do uncompensated overtime to actually make working software.

These are the unintended consequences of the AI hype that CEOs are evangelizing.

Most of the time when I hear about a new and interesting Google thing like in a Google I/O keynote, its only available in a limited preview for some secret or randomly selected group of people. Then by the time its generally available I've forgotten about it, there is a better competitor, or just as likely the project has been canceled (see https://killedbygoogle.com/).

Whenever some enthusiastic developer suggests a new google service at work they are quickly dissuaded by senior developers that have been through their churn before.
