What's funny to me is the seeming lack of AI usage among management despite so much of their work being amenable to AI acceleration.
At my company(big name, AI beneficiary), middle management seems to mostly be concerned with shuffling chairs on the deck of the Titanic while they wait for their stock to fully vest. There is very little interest in improving anything, just an obsession with risk avoidance and performative sideshows whenever upper management wonders why execution is so poor.
40% boost for smart engineers, for now.
People churning out slop is slowing me down and the full effects of it won't be felt for a while.
Its not really a 60%. It accelerates a lot code creation. Save some time on admin tasks. That is it.
> 40-60% boost
Where? What industry, what kind of projects? The only one where I can imagine it to be true is vulnerability research, and I imagine all the low-hanging fruit to be picked soon
