AI makes it quicker and cheaper to ship something. The problem with most companies is shipping the wrong thing.
VCs hope that with AI they can have a larger portfolio, shipping more things, so that by sheer luck, one is a success. That's why many employees are critical of the AI hype while VCs and C-level love it. The whole discussion about maintainability doesn't even register on the radar, employees vs. VCs and C-level are operating at a different definition of "failure".

- hinkley 1y agoIt’s based on the same category error that says I can buy a company but lose the employees and still have the value. You don’t. You either don’t get that, or you do but would rather people not know that you really just wanted to destroy a competitor and snake some of their customers.
- tovej 1y agoWhile this may help VCs get richer, this is definitely putting software quality and software safety at risk. If an AI-boosted startup makes it, the tech debt inside the company will be worse than in a "traditional" one. That seems like a net negative for society in the long run.
