    an astonishing 29 percent of [execs] had no idea where the growing costs associated with AI were coming from.

    The headline combined with the quote just make me laugh so much, I love it

      This is what happens when the people in charge of everything are entirely separated from reality.

        Those same idiots have been in charge of everything for decades, blindly doing whatever suited them.

        They got duped and didn’t have the technical competence to see it or trust their staff to negotiate it.

        Every IT / Developer out there knew it was a bad idea. The C-Staff was sold by the billionaires that you will go AI or you will be left behind.

        My own CEO is simultaneously telling us to use AI for as much as we can and telling us to reduce costs as much as possible.

            The sales pitch is:

            All your competition is going AI. They’re be producing 10x the work with mouth breathing morons at the keys, while you’re stuck paying millions to subject matter experts.

            They’re scared ot death that the tenuous hold they have on their market segment will be severed if their competition outflanks them in this, so FUD wins.
