I love what they did with the Metaverse too. Such trailblazing work.

Haha, I hadn't heard about this before https://www.accenture.com/us-en/services/metaverse https://www.accenture.com/us-en/services/metaverse > executives expect 4.2% of their revenues coming from metaverse in the next 3 years—a value of $1 trillion I wonder if that KPI is still on target.

  Hahahahah > 81% of executives say metaverse related technologies are inspiring their organization’s vision or long-term strategy > 90% of executives anticipate an increase in the level of resources their organizations will dedicate to metaverse related technologies in the next 3-5 years > $1T executives expect 4.2% of their revenues coming from metaverse in the next 3 years—a value of $1 trillion If ever there was an argument that executives would be more productive members of society if they were flipping burgers, it's this website.

    As I’ve experienced before with Accenture, this is the problem you get when you only hire Yes Men

    Erm, have you seen the news lately? Big line go up bigger than ever before. Very productive. Extra big number line up

      You're right. Bonuses for everybody (who already has a net worth of $10M or more)!

I regret I have but one upvote to give. At least with AI there’s some actual value there, the consulting firms have to jump on every trend because they market themselves as “thought leaders”. I expect a lot of AI shake out this year, people will find where it works and where it doesn’t as well as begins to realize AGI isn’t right around the corner. I’ve gone from pretty skeptical to cautiously optimistic about LLMs with respect to code. I was working on something a couple weeks ago and ran out of free tier claude. I was willing to pay the $20 out of my own pocket to keep using it for work tasks. That forced me to rethink my stance.
