Content, unlike code, has no innate completeness or correctness.
I’ve been thinking this about content weirdly. Why write now and get dusty when you can write the recipe.
Snap!
Do you remember the holocracy bullshit from the last decade and Zappos tried it and nearly went bust and the boss descended into alcoholism and mental illness. We need to talk about bad ideas more in business…
What’s so interesting about this grotesque and macabre idea (do check the quoteskeets) is that there must be a complete absence of market research in the tech world.
A old typed piece of IBM documentation says: "A COMPUTER CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER MAKE A MANAGEMENT DECISION"
IBM corporate training documentation from 1979
I am worried that the folks I see on LinkedIn doing this are doing it for free.
That's how I feel most days, and when you say people, I mean me.
Last week it was unsafe at any speed and this week it’s enterprise ready! Vibe coding truly does up productivity! (InfoSec team start buying riot gear and building a brig)
To the UX people on the purgatory site blaming AI adoption in organisations on some form of cultural resistance and not the shortcomings of the tools themselves. Shame on you.
Thanks Simon.
I don't wanna be all media-is-biased-and-all-that but today Reform has said they would ban working from home and defund a university because of its debating society and the news is all "Is Starmer XYZ?"
LinkedIn is despicable, but it seems to be the lonely only island of business content and practitioners. Sigh.
LinkedIn is now actually hostile to anything that isn't a video of the creators face let alone long form content. And have you seen mine and Steve's faces?
For completeness on me socials (and @thompsonsimon.com @sharonodea.com and @lisariemers.bsky.social who actually hang) here's the last post of my series about what we are actually going to do about AI in the enterprise after the hype has died down. www.linkedin.com/pulse/ai-epi...
Thanks Simon. Would love to hear your perspective on it.
[Or in slopspeak: "It's not impactful... It's hilarious."]
Read enough AI-generated LinkedIn posts and the rhythm becomes a modern shave-and-a-haircut-two-bits. It's hilarious.
Wow this miraculous and impossible framework is so futuristic! (Because it is built with little due consideration to sense)
Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
What the world really needs is a LinkedIn post about "Learning to say no to yourself about posting about learning to say no."
Post in which I propose a new layer of information management to deal with the sprawl of enterprise AI and the inevitable misinformation. www.linkedin.com/pulse/ai-epi...
AI in the enterprise isn't going to turn out like you think. You need the field of Provenance before you get called the Chief Misinformation Officer. www.linkedin.com/pulse/ai-epi...
Surveys amplify this sort of nonsense (purposefully for clicks). If there were sliders for pension value, retirement age and taxation people would be more moderate.
So this is normal now.
Four albums from Apple Music under the banner 1990s. Beck, Mitsuko Uchida Schubert, Crowded House and Belle & Sebastian.
One of these is not like the others, Apple Music. Bangers for sure, but in 1827.
Bluesky idea: Restore human-only signals. When you post, your phone scans your face. Result: botdeath.
All that heat and energy to product precisely zero value. We are fucked.
Theory: Sam Altman doesn't want to replace human workers, in fact he couldn't give a shit. He wishes to get to a state of adoption where both sides of a process have to use LLMs to compete adversarially.
This is why AI isn't going to turn out like businesses think. Like a toddler they believe that the environment won't respond back.
