Oversized departments are a relic of a bygone era where output was expensive AI makes output cheap, the bottleneck now is validation, not creation. Smaller teams, bigger returns is the new game #AIimpact #FutureOfWork

LIVE #460 - Tijd voor je eigen DieselGenerator - JACK&JOZEF - Echt.Raw.Everyday.

De echte crisis ligt niet in de cijfers, maar in ons denken. Gisteren las ik weer dat we over een paar jaar misschien zonder stroom zitten. En ik dacht, is dit echt waar?

We bouwen aan een energietransitie zonder de echte basis te begrijpen. Het elektriciteitsnet, dat wij enorm gebruiken, is simpelweg niet voorbereid op de hoeveelheid energie die we nodig hebben. En in plaats van dat we dat aanpakken, blijven we praten over zonnepanelen en batterijen die na een paar jaar klaar zijn.

Willen we echt doorgaan met oplossingen die tijdelijk en fragiel zijn? Of durven we écht anders te denken over onze energie?

🎉 So apparently, #AI has "solved" everything from #animation to #academia, leaving us mere mortals to twiddle our thumbs and enjoy our cooked careers. 👨‍🎓🍳 Meanwhile, the AI bros are busy patting themselves on the back for their next-token prophecy, as if predicting the next word in a sentence is akin to solving world peace. 🌍🔮
