alt Hacker NewsThere's an old saying, "in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."
Here we have the opposite: In the land of the one-eyed, the blind are leading.
The blind in this case are all those executives and managers who don't understand much about AI's current potential and limitations, and so far have treated it like a magic button that will solve everything. The one-eyed are rank-and-file employees who maybe sort of know a little more about AI.
Executives and managers are the ones who correctly understood which game was being played. The game we are playing is not one of making good products, it's one of getting money from people who both have more money and are stupider than you. They're succeeding at that. We're also doing it, but we're not getting as much money.
