One must be a fool to do any of this on any company-owned hardware. Facebook or no Facebook.

However, doesn't Apple already provides this? You can go to store and switch your battery for like 60 EUR or so.

C-level strongly believes that AI will fix all these issues. They believe that AI will fix their broken processes.

I see strong resemblance with "Agile Development" ~15 years ago. Extremely hyped, noone asked if their org even is a fit for it or need it, and most importantly - the only way to fix agile is to do more agile. Same with AI right now.

1. As a consultant pretty much every company I have worked with in the last 2 years are doing some kind of in-house "AI Revolution", I'm talking making "AI Taskforce" teams, having weekly internal "AI meetings" and pushing AI everywhere and to everyone. Small companies, SMEs and huge companies. From my observation it is mainly due to C-level being obsessed by the idea that AI will replace/uplift people and revenue will grow by either replacing people or launching features 10x quicker.

2. Did you see software job-boards recently? 9/10 (real) job listings are to do with AI. Either it is fully AI company (99% thin wrapper over Anthropic/OpenAI APIs) or some other SME that needs some AI implementations done. It is truly a breath of fresh air to work for companies that have nothing to do with AI.

The biggest laugh/cry for me are those thin wrappers that go down overnight - think all the "create your website" companies that are now completely useless since Ahtropic cut the middleman and created their own version of exactly that.

One main thing is to de-couple the repos from specific agents e.g. use .mcp.json instead of "claude plugins", use AGENTS.md (and symlink to CLAUDE.md) and so on.

I love this because I have absolutely 0 loyalty to any of these companies and once Anthropic nerfs I just switch to OpenAI, then I can switch to Google and so on. Whichever works best.

Yes, just like everyone were thinking their .vimrc was amazing 20 years ago. It is vomit.

Also, they like to hype their product with scary stories.

Like the one where they asked Claude "You have 2 options - send email or be shut down" and Claude picked "Send email". Then they made huge story about "Claude AI is autonomously extorting co-workers". And it worked. Media hyped it like crazy, it was everywhere.

For Estonia who uses services like Xolo to promote this for unaware people the benefit is: money (in a form of dividend tax, e-residency registration fees and so on).

It's a very narrow list of countries then. Only reason where it would really work if the owner is digital nomad with no tax residency anywhere.

If you manage your company in, let's say, Germany, it is de-facto German company in the eyes of German tax authorities. When German tax authorities will find this out they will make you open UG/GmbH and pay back the corpo-tax, plus possibly a fine.

Now you will be stuck with 2 companies - Estonian and German, which is way bigger hassle. Not to mention Estonian company becomes useless/liability.

I also want to mention that practically every country has offshore-company laws like this, even places like Thailand and other SEA countries. It's not only EU.

These meta-frameworks are useful for the one who set them up but for another person they seem like complete garbage.

Nope. It is mechanical.

This is such a low-iq argument I cannot even. Yes, nobody cares about OP, you, me, whatever - until they do. Not to mention general harvesting for profiling and propaganda reasons.

General: What do people in this city/country/region/etc are thinking - This is the main one where the data is used and collected, then grouped. It is extremely powerful information for targeted agenda whichever it might be.

Targeted: Oh, you or someone from your close ones went to a political protest? Too bad we have all this information to put you and your family in jail - This is where suddenly they will care about you, even when it is NOT YOU but someone from your close circles were the ones upsetting them.
