Jesus fuck were spending hundreds of billions in a few years on AI? Slow the fuck down. Lets establish some proof of value first

Recently spoke to someone who said that most startups in their (very large) portfolio are using AI to write most of their code. I personally know this to be true in several startups I've seen; and I've seen slow but steady adoption in larger companies.

We can debate about spending hundreds of billions per year, but the value is beyond question at this point at least in software.

Just to make the point. I agree there’s adoption but value is still being figured out.

See the MIT Nanda study, and the other one from a few weeks back on the perceived vs actual productivity increases.

There is value, but so far nowhere near as much as the people pushing AI would like you to believe has actually been delivered

The Nanda study is junk. Yes, I'm slower as a developer when I use AI. That's because I'm doing things I simply couldn't do before.
