      It’s mostly FOMO for Boomer CEOs that would rather risk the company than be seen asleep at the switch on the AI “revolution”. Like bank CEOs of the 2000s, they are investing in black boxes they don’t understand, because a few twats at Harvard sold them a faulty algorithm. If it fails and takes down a company, who cares, they are retired and yachting by then.

      It will take years to realize that the original Google search had a much more profound effect on productivity, but now that has been enshittified.

        Gambling is much more fun when you’re betting other people’s money.

        On that note, my condolences if anyone thinks they have a pension or 401k or retirement plan of any kind.

        Like sure, technically you might, but not meaningfully, no.
