CTOs can code on a Sunday, as a treat
I have known many CTOs that did not need to replaced by AI because they could have been replaced much more easily with a very short shell script.
In an interview, OpenAI CTO Mira Murati says "some creative jobs maybe will go away" due to AI, "but maybe they shouldn't have been there in the first place" (Kate Irwin/PCMag)

POSTER: I made my classic post about tech CTO’s creating the torment nexus to highlight the recklessness and poor media literacy of tech CTOs
TECH CTO: the torment nexus post is a cautionary tale about being mean to me

"Torment Nexus" comes from this tweet and is often used now to describe the kind of negative experiences you can have with social networks, like getting dogpiled or harassed or being pushed into conflict

I am a sucker for good books, and so especially O'Reilly books.
Here's one that is WIP, but in return, it is free, thanks to

It's for CTOs / eng leaders who want to get AI to deliver *business value* which is... tricky.

I just gave a talk to a room full of CTOs on ethical decision making in an age of AI and this attitude towards AI — the dampening of critical thinking and an assumption that AI has the right answer to everything — is exactly why I created this talk
Wow. Just wow.
"Students pay premium prices for information that AI now delivers instantly and for free. A business student can ask ChatGPT to explain supply chain optimization or generate market analysis in seconds. The traditional lecture-and-test model faces its Blockbuster moment."

In the last few weeks I have read the phrase "forced Ray Tracing" more times I would like. As if a secret cabal of CTOs is conspiring for world ray tracing dominance.
Something broke people brains at some point and it makes me sad. Imagine If people cried "forced normal mapping!" in 2005.

Feeling slightly better about my AI future now that a friend told me CTOs are saying things like "build is cheaper than buy because of GenAI" 😂😂

This is the natural consequence of tech CEOs clambering to be the Wernher von Braun of AI, happily accepting military titles, Meta, Palantir and OpenAI CTOs getting proudly sworn in as Lt. Colonels in the "Army's Executive Innovation Corps". You're warfighters now, boys!
So reap your rewards!

Please notify the CTOs of companies trusted with large amounts of personal identifying information that they are now in violation of EVERY contract they signed with their clients because they let their management staff go absofuckingbonkie when the computer called them special boys.
