These MBA thought pieces are so behind the curve its embarrassing if not humiliating.
When your only real job (conditioned over a near-century of industrial capitalism) is to prepare warm bodies to populate stable corporate power hierarchies but society is reeling from challenge and disruption to strife and malfunction what exactly is your reason to exist?
Just take the very first sentence:
> Just as the internet has drastically lowered the cost of information transmission, AI will lower the cost of cognition
Now investigate how the "internet" has worked out for individuals and corporates and apply the same to "AI". What do the authors think about digital oligopolies, surveillance capitalism [1] and all that.
The digital (=information) incompetence of the corporate world is what has ushered the current dystopia in the first place. Business schools have profitably underwritten this gross mismanagement for ages.
Then this:
> The best place to learn [...] is YouTube. YouTube has, oh my God, so many tutorials in so many domains.
Can somebody please pull the plug on this joke? Its too painful.
