It is not the same, it is worst. Nothing seems functional nowadays

The video does actually answer its own title, which is refreshing.

And I agree, it’s because organizations and people haven’t changed (yet, if you’re being positive) what it is they’re optimizing for and how they do work. AI gives you more of what you want and gives it faster, that doesn’t on its own change the culture or goals of a company.

A thousand times this. A lot of people are discovering that coding was never the bottleneck in their orgs and don't know what to do differently.

The communication skills to create the synchronized understandings necessary for teams of any moderate size to operate in concert is not there. Communications are everything when it comes to collaborations at any level, and we as an entire civilization are weak at this aspect. This effective communication necessity.

The more code, the more worry; the more workers, the more theft; the more AI, the more sorcery; the more flesh, the more worms.

The ancients knew it all along!

Good supporting evidence for this is that it is changing your software dramatically if you're making your own personalized software to replace subscription software. That works incredibly well. Also there are some examples of companies doing huge swings they wouldn't have done without it like the AWS emulator that just came out.

People just haven't figured out the tools yet.

I'm doing truly astounding - stupefying - levels of work. Others on my team are actively resistant to my advice but the C Suite isn't.

The numbers are shooting up and to the right but people don't want to get on board. It's too much too fast.

I find Jonathon Blow to be insufferable, but this is a good talk with good opinions.

I was talking to my friend yesterday about what exactly has AI changed for us. Our lives are still the same( actually worse from job loss anxiety). If this tech is so revolutionary how come nothing in my life has changed positively.

My friend is in managment at faang and he said ai has changed how tech coders now behave at work. he is enjoying the fact that "their tails have been cut by AI".
