I am LOVING seeing so many AI projects being paused or binned.

There’s one silver lining in the mass layoffs, they can’t lay off their absurd investment in power, cooling, and hardware. Loss adjusters and liquidators are rubbing their hands with glee.
Also, many silicon spinners are demanding 5 year agreements on production. It’s go big or go home time, and there will be some casualties.
One org I reluctantly work with pivoted their entire operating model to AI and agents, and they royally screwed their staff over.
They’re now hiring them as consultants at twice their original salary as everything fell on it’s arse, and who knew that go to market suits with a prompt can’t keep infrastructure or business running. Hilariously I know one engineer negotiated a one-sided 12 month contract notice period.
These people are going to get desperate, fast. Fetch the s’mores and let em roast.
@SecurityWriter as a Project Manager that means my profession will get a boost because someone has to organize the recovery.

I've seen so many AI CEOs or people with close relationships to projects driven by AI getting real mad at the lack of positive sentiment to their work too. See https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/10416 and https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/423186#issuecomment-3919469369

@n_dimension @gparenti @gpshewan @ramsey @SecurityWriter Plenty of insurers are using AI themselves--but they cover their asses by running AI copy/contract terms past their in-house lawyers.
@LPerry2 @n_dimension @gparenti @gpshewan @ramsey @SecurityWriter
... you hope.

It’s a new gold rush…

@gpshewan @SecurityWriter That’s what I mean. The CEOs are already beginning the shift to spin what’s coming, to make it more palatable to investors, because the bill is about to come due, and the promises haven’t been kept.
@ramsey @gpshewan I hope you‘re right. I am seeing a lot of frustration with the lack of delivery but at the same time in our org management is doubling down after Claude has been better at delivering and it is hailed as the turning point when it finally is starting to be as good as we need it.
And in some ways it’s true, I still need to do handholding and lay out the design but the coding part is much more reliable. The productivity increase is maybe not 10x though, more like 2-3x. -
