Years ago I kept demanding reporters actually talk to workers about return to office not just managers or executives. Nobody has learned the lesson. I guess this reporter didn't bother to bring up when Lattice lied about having "official employee records for A.I." then never talked about it again
This is chaotic, directionless nonsense cooked up by executives that don't do any real work. What possible value does this exercise have?
This is like a thing you do with analyst new hires at Accenture, not with your executive team at a strategic offsite lmao
Now have these people try using the AI to help do their jobs.
They will find out it mostly sucks at things they have skill at, but it is fast at generating bad quality!
Gotta love the enforced fun
So this “tinkerer by trait” (?) just made other people do the tinkering?
VISION!
COURAGE!
They have these studies where a participant will be told to "make" something and then set what they think a fair price would be. People regularly set the price of their own creations as much higher than their actual worth. (The IKEA effect).
I think there is an aspect to this that ties into AI.
So the AI picks a Wordpress theme for you?
the value is that anyone with actual strategic vision should have gotten up and walked out immediately upon being presented with this drivel
this is how my school district offers us training on new tech tools
Genuinely the 3rd time I’ve shared this today.
See, only losers come up with a business case, find it requires an app, and then build the app to specification.
Winners build ten random apps of undefined purpose and then make a business out of them through sheer force of mind.
layoff people
There was "a little bit of shock" when he asked his team of technically illiterate staff to build a website in 30 minutes, was there? Maybe because they had a fraction more self-awareness than their tinkering tit of a boss.
I guess these people think that creativity is just sticking a bunch of people in a room and telling them to have at it.
I increasely believe that the average CEO would be out performed by a potted plant.
this is the kind of exercise the middle school substitute teacher gives you because he's too hungover to even try to teach
Ban team building period
They just wanted to see if they could fire all the people below the manager. If you have 10 managers that can do the work of a hundred employees with a little AI magic then fire the rank and file. but obviously none of these people could do the work even if they wanted to.
I was at a Salesforce seminar on Agentforce. We had a session where everyone was asked to come up with a use case from their business and a Salesforce rep would build an agent using one of the examples. Every example was too complex or required additional info not on hand. No test Agent was made
Ok, let's say that suddenly ChatGPT would be flawless as far as its bullshittery goes, and performing at an 180 IQ level. Would it actually matter that much? Or would implementing the resulting changes take months or years?
would love to see an interview with the 10 people involved in this pet project of their boss that nobody asked for
We were gently told last week that our adoption of AI must significantly improve in 2026. Which is a bit weird because we can’t really share any sensitive information with the models we have, so as a data analyst what am I going to use it for?
He said it's a fun activity! Fun! Everyone loves it when your boss gives you "have fun doing work-like things" as a direction.
Plus he said it was more engaging than him standing in front of the room for 30 minutes, meaning he could do actually fun things while his flunkies had "fun." Win/win!
The important thing here is the “do any real work”. So many bosses and higher-ups read or hear something and say, “yeah, do that,” without researching or thinking about how it works or what it does. The easiest example to look at was the “pivot to video” in media.
