On top of this companies are pouring fuel onto their own fire by introducing mandates to 'embrace AI', in a stunning act of self harm.
Diverse voices matter more than ever. It's painfully obvious lots of orgs are running off a cliff, like Lemmings, into a financial and trust crisis of their own making, because there's not enough scrutiny and thought.
LLMs being infinite bullshit machines are the dying gasp of old guy privilege, the reply guy fantasy of knowing everything and failing upwards.
I think with the double whammy of companies rolling back their diversity programmes (and even removing all references to diversity from their own material) and the push for Generative AI by clueless executives, a lot of orgs have basically set themselves to:
- exclude female and marginalised voices
- have far less diverse views
- given their biggest strategic document voices to 4 Big Tech companies via Copilot etc writing documents.
It's a masterclass in poor decision making.
And a happy FUCK OFF to AI from Emma Thompson. 😌
just in case nobody has done it before
