I really don’t understand on the customer side of B2B why so many companies actively encouraged AI tooling costs.
I can understand it from the side of the companies selling tokens and AI hardware. I don’t understand the race to spend more on internal tools.
I’ve been sitting around waiting for my company to buy a number of necessary bits of tools. They cheap out on every solution imaginable. Datadog is too expensive, let’s buy a cheap solution that costs us months of setup time. Configuration management is too expensive, let’s use the free version with no audit trail or dashboard.
But everyone…in the entire company…gets multiple AI tool subscriptions.
I don’t remember investors being this stupid at any other point. I don’t recall investors pressuring my company to use blockchain or NFTs.
