I agree with you in part, but I think the market is going to shift so that you won’t so many need “mega projects”. More and more, projects will be small and bespoke, built around what the team needs or answering a single question rather than forcing teams to work around an established, dominant solution.

How much are you willing to bet on this outcome and what metrics are you going to measure it with when we come to collect in 3 years?

  • This is the way: make every one of these people with their wild ass claims put their money where their mouths are.

    • Hold up. This is a funny comment but thinking should be free. It’s when they are trying to sell you something (looking at you “all the AI CEOs”) that unsubstantiated claims are problematic.

      Then again the problem is that the public has learned nothing from the theranos and WeWorks and even more of a problem is that the vc funding works out for most of these hype trains even if they never develop a real business.

      The incentives are fucked up. I’d not blame tech enthusiasts for being too enthusiastic
