Comment Re: should be 'CEO doesn't understand tech, is sca (Score 2) 93

This is the productivity paradox. IT was supposed to usher in this great new world of productivity and it never manifested. This promise of the great new world where productivity soars is a sales pitch that only works on C level execs who need to justify their existence to the company before they parachute out. AI when it reaches AGI might do some useful things., for now it is a LLM that predicts the next word in a way we naively believe is thought.

Comment Re:Can you be replaced by "AI"? (Score 2) 44

You sound like an insufferable douche... AI can do art ergo artists are not important. In your example the mail girl can't be replaced by AI therefore she must be important; yet you did nothing except define her lack of value...Your invective about your employees says more about you as a leader than them.

In the 90s I don't know anyone who thought Windows 95 was the best OS. Was it better than Win 3.0, 3.1 and 3.11. Yes it had a graphic interface. But Win 98se had USB support and windows drivers model. Win ME was a bloated mess but that was in Sept 2000. The best you can say about win 95 was that it was their best release to date coming from the 16 bit cli era.

If you are using teams as a video meeting service only yes it is easy to leave. If you are using it as a slack replacement then many conversations and workflows and sharing of files etc. can become very difficult to replace. It isn't as easy as migrating a standard mailbox from outlook to another email solution.

I feel like I have been reading the same article about German Government offices leaving Microsoft software since about 2003 if not the early 90s. Did they leave and come back and break up again or is this a 20 year move? I do see articles from 92 stating Germany was going to leave Microsoft applications. This is likely a renegotiation tactic.
