I will never understand how is it that such idiots repeatedly make it to the top.
MBAs and such are trained in being confident without knowing anything besides different business grifts.
So they thought it would be free forever, and are surprised by the usage based pricing? I wonder what will happen when ai companies need to be profitable and increase prices accordingly
It was a matter of time honestly, anyone with the basic metrics of usage of an service was gonna get screwed over. With people you can actually say hey labor’s too high and lay people off and have a shitty excuse. This is just you’re stupid.
One would expect they kind of think stuff through before acting on it
They should have listened to Ed.
Big tech will suck dry everyone, even their own rich friends.
It’s like these assholes have never heard the phrase “too good to be true”.
People who get paid exorbitant sums for doing exceptionally little probably try to avoid that concept
They are usually the ones setting up the too good to be true situations, so they probably never thought they would be on the receiving end of one.
Cant wait to see their reaction when AI replaces them
I replaced all my software team with agents which can work 24h a day on the product and now none of the software works and I’m out $600000 waaaaaa
- Exec
The bigger problem might be what it will cost to get things back where they need to be. Probably a lot more than $600k. How many of the knowledgeable developers are willing to come back to clean up the mess? Any of them? And at what salary? Possibly a lot more than they were paid before they were kicked out. If you can’t rehire the original developers then you might find others with the required technical skills - but probably not with the domain knowledge. And now costs and times increase further.
600k is not a lot of money for a software team or for AI though.
This has been the case ever since things that seem great, like google cloud computing…and your little project just bankrupted you because you left a tap open over the weekend.
Dumb donkeys.
It’s funny because they do this to other people; they just never thought it’d happen to them. FAFO 🫡
oh
Here’s a real a cost saving prompt:
“Translate the contents of every single document in our databases into as many languages (including dead and constructed fictional languages) as possible.”
Now you can fire the one Hispanic guy you hired because you assumed he could speak Hindi.
