people really need to disambiguate between "the code for X was coauthored with a language model" and "peoples' inputs into this app are fed into the language model as a subprocessor" because these are completely different concepts!
a bluesky user replied to @bsky38.com and said "I don't really want to log into anything powered by Claude AI"
dear reader, the Bluesky app is also "powered by Claude AI" 😭

in our case, we currently have restricted Claude from having unrestricted gdrive access due to sensitivity of things there, whereas gemini is already baked in / google is one subprocessor, so we're less worried about cross-contamination/ACL violation

At some point people are going to realize every LLM is just "Let Me Google That For You" run through a Drunk Guy subprocessor. Which is neat, but it turns out "Drunk Guy Googling Stuff" is not, in fact, the one weird trick that will render all other human skills and labor obsolete.
Straight up: WHERE is AI disrupting the software industry, exactly? It isn't making companies much money, and the opex is seemingly much higher than the revenues. The "AI software disruption" story is a myth! It's crazy everybody acts like it's true!
www.wheresyoured.at/hatersguide-...

![Everybody’s AI Revenues Are Either Non-Existent Or A Secret
In its Q4 2025 earnings, IBM said its total “generative AI book of business since 2023” hit $12.5 billion — of which 80% came from its consultancy services, which consists mostly of selling AI other people’s AI models to other businesses. It then promptly said it would no longer report this as a separate metric going forward.
To be clear, this company made $67.5 billion in 2025, $62.8 billion in 2024, $61.9 billion in 2023 and $60.5 billion in 2022. Based on those numbers, it’s hard to argue that AI is having much of an impact at all, and if it were, it would remain broken out.
Scummy consumer-abuser Adobe tries to scam investors and the media alike by referring to “AI-influenced” revenue — referring to literally any product with a kind of AI-plugin you can pay for (or have to pay for as part of a subscription) — and “AI-first” revenue, which refers to actual AI products like Adobe Firefly.
It’s unclear how much these things actually make. According to Adobe’s Q3 FY2025 earnings, “AI-influenced” ARR was “surpassing” $5 billion (so $1.248 billion in a quarter, though Adobe does not actually break this out in its earnings report), and “AI-first” ARR was “already exceeding [its] $250 million year-end target,” which is a really nice way of saying “we maybe made about $60 million a quarter for a product that we won’t shut the fuck up about.”
For some context, Adobe made $5.99 billion in that quarter, which makes this (assuming AI-first revenue was consistent) roughly 1% of its revenue.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qc6xzgctorfsm35w6i3vdebx/bafkreih6ri4fwxjzmy5txibd3awz7mbwoifih27zyhrbv334bhzvr4vdfa)
![Adobe then didn’t report its AI-first revenue again until Q1 FY2026, when it revealed it had “more than tripled year over year” without disclosing the actual amount, likely because a year ago its AI-first revenue was $125 million ARR, but this number also included “add-on innovations.” In any case, $375 million ARR works out to $31.25 million a month, or (even though it wasn’t necessarily this high for the entire quarter) $93.75 million a quarter, or roughly 1.465% of its $6.40 billion in quarterly revenue in Q1 FY2026.
Bulbous Software-As-An-Encumberance Juggernaut Salesforce revealed in its latest earnings that its Agentforce and Data 360 (which is not an AI product, just the data resources required to use its services) platforms “exceeded” $2.9 billion…but that $1.1 billion of that ARR came from its acquisition of Informatica Cloud, (which is not a fucking AI product by the way!). Agentforce ARR ended up being a measly $800 million, or $66 million a month for a company that makes $11.2 billion a year. It isn’t clear whether what period of time this ARR refers to.
Microsoft, Google and Amazon do not break out their AI revenues.
Box — whose CEO Aaron Levie appears to spend most of his life tweeting vague things about AI agents — does not break out AI revenue.
Shopify, the company that mandates you prove that AI can’t do a job before asking for resources, does not break out AI revenue.
ServiceNow, whose CEO said back in 2022 told his executives that “everything they do [was now] AI, AI, AI, AI, AI,” said in its Q4 2025 earnings that its AI-powered “Now Assist” had doubled its net new Annual Contract Value had doubled year-over-year,” but declined to say how much that was after saying in mid-2025 it wanted a billion dollars in revenue from AI in 2026.
Apparently it told analysts that it had hit $600 million in ACV in March (per The Information)...in the fourth quarter of 2025, which suggests that this is not actually $600 million of revenues quite yet, nor do we …](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qc6xzgctorfsm35w6i3vdebx/bafkreiawmg43nbvzwpsxbhwronlmimiwn7vb2mvgf2vocxuqcpqzqhyogq)
![Intuit, a company that vibrates with evil, had the temerity to show pride that it had generated "almost $90 million in AI efficiencies in the first half of 2025,” a weird thing to say considering this was a statement from March 2026. Anyway, back in November 2025 it agreed to pay over $100 million for model access to integrate ChatGPT. Great stuff everyone.
Workday, a company that makes about $2.5 billion a quarter in revenue, said it “generated over $100 million in new ACV from emerging AI products, [and that] overall ARR from these solutions was over $400 million.” $400 million ARR is $33 million.
Atlassian, which just laid off 10% of its workforce to “self-fund further investment in AI,” does not break out its AI revenues.
Riddle me this, Batman: if AI was so disruptive to all of these software companies, would it not be helping them disrupt themselves? If it were possible to simply magic up your own software replacement with a few prompts to Claude, why aren’t we seeing any of these companies do so? In fact, why do none of them seem to be able to do very much with generative AI at all?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qc6xzgctorfsm35w6i3vdebx/bafkreih7ossdk3cgctfqrtlye7ghzf5n4xuj2vtlpq4yxmykmxl7h7lymi)

Great post, loved this one. Have done that subprocessor trick before but never internalised it enough to repeat it like you have. Lesson received! There's probably a nice hack for someone there to go document a bunch of ai stacks easily, especially when it's also seemingly so heavily vendored.

There's a few things like this in Shadowrun that I love because you can see the use for everyday life. Sleep regulators so you can get fully rested with only 1 hour of sleep a day. A math subprocessor brain implant that acts as a calculator for your brain so you don't have to do math yourself.
If we ever saw a future where body augmentation was a thing, instead of cybernetic eyes, arm blades, super strength or titanium bones I'd go for an extended bladder so I could sleep through the night without needing to get up to pee. Something actually useful.
