I had a revelation the other day. Our IT team (top 500 US company) had an MS exec come in and pitch to the entire leadership team (100s of people) on the MS AI strategy and what it could mean for us. 100% sales pitch and corporate bullshit but our execs sucked this guy's dick so fucking hard. And it hit me... We're not a tech company. These IT professionals got stuck in this backward company and wish they were working for one of the big five - where the cool kids work. They don't give any shits about how or whether AI works at a real level, they're just cosplaying like they are big time tech bros. That's it, full stop.
The more you take logic out of it the more it makes sense.
