I hope so! But if the economy gets bad enough I can see people getting desperate enough that they'll all scramble and under-cut each other into oblivion just to secure the work. Time will tell I guess.

Law enforcement and military

Contact centers, software development, automation, images and video analysis, data analysis, semantic search, entity recognition, advertising, misinformation campaigns, social media, security scanning & automation...etc

Many of these are cross-cutting across many sectors, some of these are sectors you don't think of as they are driven by government entities.

And many of these have boring quiet tools and integrations that you don't hear about because they "just work".

You only hear about the shit that doesn't work. Not the shit that does work.

Edit: inb4 a reply of a narrow use case or shitty implementation that, obviously, doesn't work, which I already called out as a bias.

Agreed.

One single potentially good thing in the middle of bad things still adds to something bad.

My point is that this shit is happening either way no matter how shit it all is, so if we can recognize and extract one good thing out of it at least on the other side we'll have one good thing, whilst if we don't, we'll have nothing good at all.
