LLMs are the first technology I've experienced where there's a lot of top-down pressure to adopt it ASAP. Most other technologies in my career, like VCS or static analysis or whatever else were championed by colleagues or peers.

It’s like forcing your entire organisation to use Emacs because you switched to using Orgmode, literal programming, Lisp and found your productivity shot up for specific use cases.

But oh yeah, it makes “the line” go up and to the right.

Business leaders were bamboozled into thinking they were going to get innovators dilemma'd if they didn't adopt AI. It was either that, or being told that they could go lean and fire their workforce.

That's all probably going to happen at the next phase of AI, but it's just not where the current slate of LLMs are. We've hit a wall in terms of utility. LLMs kind of suck for everything but search and code tab auto-suggest.

Generative images and video, on the other hand, are 100% going to disrupt incumbents. Everyone from Adobe to Disney and Netflix are scrambling and trying to figure out how this tech changes the economics of production. I'm talking to production studios that are already underbidding each other by an order of magnitude. It's a bloodbath.
