Companies are racing to incentivize employees to use AI. But as some companies are finding, the more employees that use the technology, the heavier the bill.

    Yeah no shit, it is almost like it doesn’t actually think or something so you still need human labor, on top of expensive infrastructure.

    This article references Gartner which puts out papers that toe the line on whatever CFOs think since most are just survey based. I think most or all of the stuff they put out is garbage. So I wonder how they’re determining that inference costs will go down 90% by 2030

    Years of spending hundreds of millions to block laws and defeat ballot measures that could cost them tens of millions have prepared them for this. Is class interest the only thing more powerful than the profit motive?
