And here is the umpteenth reason to think that C-suites run only on nepotism and empty promises: they’re filled with people who are actively bad at their jobs. But while the rest of us gain skills and hone them to try and make a handful of extra peanuts, the guys in the corner offices get handed jobs by family members or friends, simply because it is their destiny to have it.

And thus they never have to be good at it, and any competition for it is artificial, and you end up with people holding the reins of entire companies who have literally no idea the consequences of their decisions or the impact of their policies.

AI has never delivered a return – at all – and most of these people probably cannot even define how it works or what benefit it is meant to bring, outside of “replace people with machine, bring more $$$, why use more people when less people do trick?”.

Great and very welcome news. If enough companies stop using “AI” maybe it will go away.

Instead of looking for other avenues for growth, though, PwC found that executives are worried about falling behind by not leaning into AI enough.

These are the people in charge of the economy.

So in Texas the powerball reached over a billion dollars recently and a single person claimed the jackpot with a single ticket using AI to generate the winning numbers. Besides that I have seen no other real profit in the real world. Gotta figure out how they did it before the bubble pops I guess.
