The age of a Warhammer 40k Tech Priest is upon us! Praise to the Machine God.
Just, without the aliens, space travel, or mech-suits.
Got half the other downsides though!

What a fantastic article! Thank you for sharing it!
A Tech Priest is way smarter than any software developer you could ever think of.
Your joke overestimates the intelligence of real life humans.

> Despite the never-ending thirst for knowledge of all branches of the order, most Tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus have lost the ability to innovate or carry out basic scientific research.
> No longer the master of its creations, the Cult Mechanicus is enslaved to the past. It maintains the glories of yesteryear with rite, dogma and edict instead of true discernment and comprehension.
> For instance, even the theoretically simple process of activating a vehicle's engine is preceded by the application of ritual oils, the burning of sacred resins and the chanting of long and complex hymns.
this isn't a new thing in corporate
I would see stuff like this even before AI.
Would you expand on your experiences? Can you not share ideas now? What if you enhance them with an LLM before sharing them?
I misinterpreted the article. Its more about sharing ideas within the company, because teams and team members are apt to steal ideas and implement them with AI faster than the originator. I guess this was always theoretically a problem but its especially pronounced now because of the commonality of layoffs, and exacerbated at my company due to the failing stock price.
Huh, and I thought "stealth-mode" for startup founders was a meme. Turns out a form of it started percolating around.
