Concerned, but meanwhile, shovels AI into everything.

    When you're in the business of enshitification AI is your biggest rival.

    Imagine the Microsoft CEO as the restaurant manager of a poop restaurant and he sees an all you can eat poop buffet opening across the street. Sure he'll try his own all you can eat Sunday special but he knows he won't be able to keep up with the 24h Brown Town Palace and he doesn't know how to make other food anymore.

    Workers aren't scared of AI doing their jobs, their the ones that know how useless AI is...

    They're scared of the CEO laying off more workers to keep stockholders happy.

    The CEO isn't scared AI will destroy the company, he's scared that investors insisting on layoffs and utilizing AI will kill the company.

    But a CEO gets fired if they tell stockholder they're idiots who don't know how any of this works.

    But regardless of what happens, the CEO gets a K code in box 12 of their W2, and the workers get fucked.

    CEO just wants out before it hurts his future job prospects, but this issue is happening all over.

    I'm not scared of AI doing my job because I've been doing it for 20 years. I'm scared of AI doing my junior colleagues' jobs because I use AI to do things between 100-1000x faster than my junior devs can - I get code back in minutes instead of days or weeks, and honestly it's right more often. I don't know what the fuck we're gonna do in 5-10 years when we need more people at my level and haven't been training them.

    Anyone who believes AI isn't the future of programming is either deluding themselves or hasn't spent enough time playing with or setting up their tools - probably both.

    “In principle, given that software companies like Microsoft do not themselves manufacture any physical hardware, it should be possible to simulate them entirely with AI,” Musk mused late last month.

    What a stupid take.

    In principle we can simulate the whole universe with AI! Easier said than done.

    The reason they're so paranoid about AI, is they stole GUI from Xerox and supplanted it as the leading PC manufacturer.

    They're terrified of someone doing it to them 40 years later with AI. Despite it not being anywhere near as big of a deal than GUI and computer mice.

    I had a wild thought the other day.

    AdobeOS.

    I don't want it. But they have the means, and it's basically sink every use case of a Microsoft product.

    They'd be left with Azure and AD. While integral, also not necessary and there exist robust competitive solutions.

    They have 228 000 employees and OS monopoly. They can do what the fuck they want and people won't leave because they simply don't care.
