A Fool With A Tool Is Still A Fool
AI Mania Is Eviscerating Global Decision-Making

“Unfortunately, we live in a dark timeline. All of the AI projects we have observed as a team are failing. Every single one – we have seen 0% success in a year and a half, not only amongst projects we have been asked to participate in22 We have rejected all AI implementation work. It is absolutely a gigantic bubble and we have minimized our exposure to it – every single one of our current contracts would be totally unaffected by OpenAI collapsing, save for perhaps some second-order effects such a recession causing a client to become unable to pay us. And there’s nothing we can do to insulate ourselves from that anyway., but even within projects that we have observed in passing while doing totally unrelated work. Even if you grant that AI tooling accelerates specific workloads, the method and scale of the current investments is senseless. Frequently the failure is not related to AI itself, but rather that companies are terminally bad at running software projects effectively, and as I have remarked previously, AI projects are subject to all the failure modes of normal projects plus you can get everything right and then still fail because of the method’s novelty. Very few companies are so good at shipping software that they can afford the extra risk profile.”

Roadtripping In A Hyundai Tuscon
Looking In The Mirror
Finally back home to mornings on the patio being sernaded by the cicadas. We saw a lot of the following during our road trip.
Taking in all the sights
Manton has added a new feature that displays books that I have read by month. You will find a like to the page from the Reading page, it is called Finished Reading By Month.
A year ago I was working in the basement for my job of 37 years, today I am in a coffee shop in Loveland, Colorado casually drinking a latte and reading. Nothing more than realizing how my life has changed.
Road tripping, any guess where?
Sounds to me like at least for the moment RSS chat is like old school Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) before things like Fido net. I imagine people will quickly want some form of federation because most people aren’t old enough to have been experienced BBSes and the idea of small, sandboxed, online communities.
