Wow - the judge “declined to give us all we were asking for.” For most people, if you don’t get everything you want, that’s a day ending in y. But not for these people.

Harmeet Dhillon is an odd name for an American, doncha think? Perhaps she needs to be sent back to her own country? She could take KKKash Patel and Elon Musk, child of apartheid, with her!

I see myopia in the C-Suites, dwelling place of corporate upper management. Look at the divergence in those who think AI saves no time. Forty percent of those who do the real work think AI saves no time. Only 2% of management shares that view. Take away is that management has an overly optimistic skewed view of AI role in work-time saved, so we’re gonna see more of it rather than less. It’s kind of like the thinking that goes, we’ll take a loss on each transaction but we’ll make it up in volume. At least that’s the way I read the chart.

Sure thing he was born in 1972 in Louisiana. Abortion was not legal in that state until after Roe v Wade in 1973. I suppose they could have traveled to have an abortion but he’s a liar so who knows.

C-Suites perceive more than a 20% time savings from AI, which is going to make them want to cut staffing by 20%, while the laboring class is like mostly “it saves me nothing or very little”.

Of course an alternative read is that the C-Suite has never been value-add, so of course they’re easily replaceable by a computer. Or a coin flip for business decisions.

But I’d suggest the former is what more companies will move out on vice the latter.
