The output of a farm is food or commodities to be turned into food.
The output of PwC -- whoops, here goes any chance of me working there -- is presentations and reports.
“We’re entering a bold new chapter driven by sharper thinking, deeper expertise and an unwavering focus on what’s next. We’re not here just to help clients keep pace, we’re here to bring them to the leading edge.”
That's on the front page of their website, describing what PwC does.
Now, what did PwC used to do? Accounting and auditing. Worthwhile things, but adjuncts to running a business properly, rather than producing goods and services.
- aurareturn 1y agoThe output of her work isn’t presentations and reports. The actual output is raising money and making successful deals. This requires convincing investors mostly which is very hard to do. Look up what M&A is.

But yes, I can see how automating the BS of corporate culture then using it to impress people (who also don't care anyway) by saying "I made this with AI" can be "productive". Not really a job I can do, though.

- johnnyanmac 1y agoIf you saw my rant on monopolistic mergers and thought "he only cares about writing code", then it's clear who's really in the software mindset.
- aurareturn 1y agoWhat? If you think convincing investors to give you hundreds of millions is easier than writing code, you’re out of your mind.
