But growth stall, because competitors will capture future growth. You need to keep up.

Of course I acknowledge if Hersheys uses AI to make trillions of chocolates a second, there is an upper limit on consumption. And hence a limit on revenue.

Not true after Dec-Feb. Opus 4.6 and Codex 5.4 are real.

If you use AI to ship more features, even your competitors are going to use AI to ship more.

So is this how we increase productivity?

Who captures the value? For now looks like the chip makers and model makers.

I think social media companies don't need that

Enterprise software companies selling definitely need it. Customers ask was this tested? where is the test report?

Management comp is tied to numbers go up

You start slow, then push it the limits

Netflix, never ads to some ads, then eventually its just Adflix, after 20 years.

Each new manager wants that comp up. So ads up by 5% every year.

Lets take the example of Uber. If Uber ships 10x the code and features, I will still not 2x my rides.

Even if Uber makes the cost of travel to 0, I will still not 2x my rides.

I don't get the atlassian backlash on HN

JIRA is just fine, gets the job done. Its not slow like the on-prem. Jira cloud version is fine.

Sergey said that Google was able to rapidly respond to ChatGPT because Sundar had already invested a lot into AI.

They have the people, the models and the chips. And Sundar helped achieve that.

That's what he said on some podcast.

This isn't the usecase that's being criticized. Here you are responsible for the fix. You will validate and ship it and if something goes wrong, you will answer for it. The AI won't answer for it.

The key word from the video is "responsibility".

Who is going to be responsible for the code? AI is definitely not responsible.
