- ramon156 6mo agoKudos for the title
- pickleglitch 6mo agoNo comment on the content of the article, but I have to say bravo to whoever wrote that headline.
- app13 6mo agoBravo to the Domo CDO, who's fomo won't stop slo-mo no-mo'
- jansan 6mo agoNot quite 'HEADLESS BODY IN TOPLESS BAR,' but damn close.
- kleiba2 6mo agoI was hoping for "CDOmo" at the end.
- semireg 6mo agoReminds me of the Arrested Development scene: Bob Loblaw Lobs Law Bomb.
- monegator 6mo agoAlso the tongue twisters from princess carolyn
- reducesuffering 6mo ago"BoHo go bye bye for joey pogo? that's a no go bro"
- monegator 6mo agoThere was one that went on for like couple of minutes in the later seasons, with courtney portnoy but there's not a video for some reason.
- jakeydus 6mo agoI’ll be working on my law blog. The Bob Loblaw Law Blog.
- pickleglitch 6mo agoThis scene nearly killed me, haha.
- kaiken1987 6mo agoI was thinking Lesley Knope in Parks and Recreation. She was always pitching these kind of headlines.
- mellosouls 6mo agoKnew immediately it would be the reg but think maybe they missed a trick: No mo' AI FOMO, go slow-mo, crows Domo CDO
- tanseydavid 6mo agoBob Loblaw's Law Blog approves of this message.

- penguin_booze 6mo ago> to whoever Whomever.
- pickleglitch 6mo agoWhomever gives a shit?
- mark_l_watson 6mo agoStrong agree with the premises of the article: I like the framing that the AI hype-masters are successful because they instill a fear of missing out in corporate leaders. I have worked with old fashioned neural networks, deep learning, and now LLM-specific deep learning: wonderful technology, but over hyped, and advice to go a little slowly, with firm use cases that are financially viable is great advice!
- vivzkestrel 6mo ago"Domo Says No to AI FOMO" FTFY the headline for you

- cmiles8 6mo ago>>“… wonders why people aren't more annoyed with AI companies “ Outside a small bubble within Silicon Valley and the finance ecosystem funding it, I’d say most folks are increasingly fed up with AI. It’s a very noticeable shift these last 6 months. The mood went from excited, to just annoyed at all the slop and folks using AI as a half-baked easy button vs doing real deep value-add thought. Business is also noticing that the ROI simply isn’t there and a lot written about this. That doesn’t bode well for AI providers that need to massively increase prices to make the math work on their business models. The world inside of the AI bubble seems largely ignorant of the mood shift underway, which suggests interesting times are ahead.
- eooekwe 6mo agoAgreed. This place is legit delululand. I speak to people who work at the upper echelons across various industries regularly and whether you want to believe it or not idc - the management are desperately trying to push AI but it just doesn’t add much value to what they do. At best it’s just a really good search engine across internal data. Many of these places already had things called macros in place so there’s barely any value add.
- jmalicki 6mo agoIt took the desktop computer revolution about two decades to show up in productivity statistics. Itt takes time to adapt. Even within SV there are still luddites who sometimes type out code, in mid 2026!!!
- oulipo2 6mo agoIndeed, and HN also has a huge "pro-AI" bias... everytime you make a comment to point out that AI is first and foremost a political artefact, rather than a technology, and that it will be weaponized against people, they downvote... Although they know perfectly well what happened to their search / personal data, but they still don't want to see the obvious

- foxes 6mo agoThere is kind of a spec - its capture knowledge work / thought so they can sell it back to you. Just how uber captured delivery/taxi making it all cheap and subsidised to start with the goal is to embed it everywhere and make people dependent. And then maybe some hope in the future they no longer have to pay anyone, or maybe pay people far less and devalue them.

- __MatrixMan__ 6mo ago> The result is a lot of proof-of-concept projects that lack what's required to make them durable, trustworthy, and deployable at scale. Starting with business needs first is essential. A bunch of frivolous projects that fail sounds to me like a pretty good way to learn how far a new technology can be trusted. If you're considering putting AI into something load bearing you either need a engineer who has not been participating so they can say "no" or one who has made 15 failed AI projects so they can say "maybe". The very worst case is to pressure somebody who doesn't know the technology very well into saying "yes".
- CharlieDigital 6mo ago> ...learn how far a new technology can be trusted I think you've missed the point of this statement: > Starting with business needs first is essential This is a negative shift I've seen in product now. Instead of emphasizing with the user and trying to understand the domain, processes, real-world usage scenarios, product teams are now building junk prototypes and throwing these over the wall at the user. Maybe this works for some spaces and domains. But the reality is that for many end consumers of software, it's not a good experience to use janky software that changes behaviors, flows, and screens on a whim now because product can. I think AI has had a negative effect on product teams; I can see all pretense of thoughtful design and execution after understanding the customer being thrown out the window and leaving a much worse end-user experience as designs and capabilities shift around without foresight and product teams "feel" their way through.
- __MatrixMan__ 6mo agoPerhaps I should have mentioned that if you built something in ignorance of the business' needs, you shouldn't then go exposing the business' customers to that thing. If somebody is shipping the prototypes, that's a problem. I was just speaking up for the utility of playing around as a necessary part of learning your tools.
- hilariously 6mo agoThe management is the team that wants it to go, so they do not enable anyone to say no. I have been in meetings where the top item is ensuring security of XYZ llm component, and after we've shown its inherently not something secureable from what the product requirements are then those product requirements are discarded. For many of these companies the entire thing is a smoke and mirrors game to just get more money, they have little to no commitment to ... anything really.
- IndianAISupport 6mo agoToo many "o"s.
- RagnarD 6mo agoDoh.
- MattRogish 6mo ago"futurist for data platform" - whatever happened to that Shingy guy?
- kvgr 6mo agoThere is like 0 cost for distribution, switching and using LLMs "AI" and other tools. Whatever comes, comes to everybody. There is basically 0 first movers advantage, that cannot be overcome in couple of months when new usefull tools become available.

- chinathrow 6mo agoIs the CDOs statement to be read as "We have no moat."?
- Foobar8568 6mo agoWe have the infamous "Dropbox" is a weekend project, well now I'd say we are in the era of it. And I bet I could build within 5 working day a Saas replacement of Domo. There is no moat anymore.
- Cthulhu_ 6mo agoThing is, software isn't the issue when building a business - Dropbox being a great example because even now people are like "but that's just rsync-as-a-service". Software and making a business out of it are two different things.
- 1over137 6mo ago>We have the infamous "Dropbox" is a weekend project... Oh really? Then why is syncthing (for example), still so much harder to use than dropbox?
- CamperBob2 6mo agoBecause you're trying to use it yourself. Don't do that, tell Claude to write a script that does what you want. I'm only being half-flippant here.
- himata4113 6mo agothe problem is that companies fundementally misunderstand what the true issue is at hand: companies should be afraid of what smaller groups of people can accomplish now. mid to large sized companies always had to man-power to produce anything they could imagine and AI is not going to change that. what will change is that your paid product will become free because someone got annoyed at a bug with your paid product, remade it with AI and made it opensource or for a fraction of the price. the floor has been raised while the ceiling will stay relatively the same, most medium to large companies were already hovering around the ceiling so at the end of the day the framework that these companies were built on is crumbling and that's what should make them afraid, not the fact that they're 'missing out' on AI.
- xnx 6mo agoDomo is now apparently "Governed Data for AI Agents". The desperation for commodity services and second-tier products to stay relevant is widespread. See also intercom.com "The only helpdesk designed for the AI Agent era".
- JohnMakin 6mo ago> "There will be a reckoning when it comes to budgets around these things," he said, "because CFOs are starting to as 'Why are we spending all this money and not gaining anything?'" Yea, currently the thinking seems to be, if we're spending money on tokens, the work is inherently worth it. However, this clearly cannot always be the case - one of the more difficult things I've worked on lately is tracking token usage to measurable work outputs, but measuring work output reliably is a notoriously difficult problem historically in tech, and opens a lot of uncomfortable conversations.
- clearstack 6mo agoThe 10-K numbers back this up. 43 big tech companies in 2025: net income +$157B but FCF shrank $10B. All eaten by capex. CFOs will notice.
- aswegs8 6mo ago> "Fear," he said, "is not a durable strategy for innovating." Well, it's enough for Sales. Which is more important.

- tevans3 6mo agoThis headline sounds like a Bojack Horseman tongue-twister. E.g.: "BoHo go bye-bye for JoJo Pogo? That's a no-go, bro.” Or: "We have a sitch in the kitch. It's a dishwash ish." Or: "You know full well once I become Baxter's bride, I'm trading board rooms for bedrooms, watches for swatches and deadlines for bedtimes." Or: "I would love to take down Hippopopalous and finally topple the acropolis of monstrous hypocrisy that ensconces us.”
