Makes sense if you think about it. Really force everyone to use AI tools, check what prompts they've entered, and analyze areas where you can cut headcount.
Some of the stuff I've seen M365 Copilot do is just flat out broken and awful and it's presented in their enterprise (stable) channels.
I was going to offer the terraform or ansible organizations as examples, since I'd guess a lot of those bugfixes are rote work, but then realized there's no way Microsoft would assist IBM to ship products
Can't be qemu, given their recent no-slop policy, so maybe the idea is harder than I thought
Running MSFT like an Asian sweat shop will sink it long term, but perhaps that is the goal.
If AI is that much more amazing, just measure employees on the usual metrics and those using AI should be so obviously far ahead that you can get rid of the others. Measuring "usage of AI" is a garbage metric that will not achieve anything good.

Would you do to work for a company where every single person including yourself was a manager?
This idea is silly because it asserts that we can replace work with management. But management is just more work, so we can just replace it with more management, and I think if you follow the logic to its outcome no work needs to be done by anyone anymore ever
