    I feel like the smart move is to find AI tools that are actually good and help your workers be more productive, then use all that extra productivity to smoke your competitors but what do I know I’ve only been in management 15 years now.

    Another idiot company who seriously thinks this will work. All that will happen is the remaining employees will have to work twice as hard to keep things afloat but the CEO will give Ai the credit…

    I stopped ordering Cisco hardware for my customer’s stacks. Too expensive and they are pushing everyone towards subscription models. If you don’t have $300 a month your wireless access points brick themselves. Fuck that noise. Fuck Cisco.
