@tante yeah it's a real "YOU HAD ONE JOB" situation
@glyph @tante I'm literally the last MIS major at my college, we had to pull my course requirements from the school archives when it was time to graduate.
Business as an industry was training people to have exactly that skill set, and then just stopped ~15 years ago.
(Mostly, the position got replaced by analysts or data scientists as close as I can tell.)

Spend the day talking to workers council members about "AI". And it's kinda wild hearing their stories from the wild: Management is 100% in fantasy "AI" can do everything land and makes huge plans for how to use "AI" to cut workers when real projects that supposedly can do 50% of a specific task end up being able to do 8%. And they still go live. It's fucking bonkers. CEO's are really not okay.
@tante Truly, they're the real problem behind all this... It never would have even reached this point without their complete inability to live inside reality due I suppose to the complete disconnect with the real world all that money seems to give them. The scam would have fallen short positively ages ago and it never even would have been pushed on people in the first place.

@tante All in the name of "efficiency" and maximum profits. Number must go up up up! idk.
What I do know is that CEO's are usually out of touch with reality, same with rich people as well.

@glyph the amount of times where I asked a CEO/CTO about their "AI" project and how they actually measure cost or what their measurable criteria for success are and only got someone looking at me as if I was speaking in tongues is really scary.
Like: Isn't turning everything into metrics and measurements in order to make data driven decisions what management is supposed to do?
Mostly 'Managers' don't have a clue.
Sales run rings round them, with half truths and promises.
Tech-Staff have to clean up the mess, underpaid,
often without adequate training.It is the history of #britain , the charge of the light brigade enacted time after time, Tommy Atkins in the trenches, the many wounded in the Boer War
Incompetence of management. Upper class twits.
Thin red line, you aren't allowed to duck.AI will fail eventually - bad management

@tante I struggle to remember a time in my life when CEOs were "okay"
but what's goin on right now, phew

@tante do you have a link to that framework?
Also: https://labornotes.org/2026/03/four-union-strategies-fight-ai
In #australia the #actu the peak #union body has betrayed it's members by signing a deal with #microslop just as they fired 15,000 public servants, due to #ai encroachment.
I've done some work analysing the betrayal by the union.
