Mad Engineering@paulisci Vaugely remember a quote that some people don't understand certain things because their salary depends on not understanding it.
Sharquaydius@madengineering @paulisci rising to their level of incompetence. that one?
@sharquaydius @paulisci No, that's the Peter principle. This quote was easily a hundred years older.

SkylarrNunchuksAKMRP@paulisci Hi. I dont know who Suleymon Microsoft is talking to but he really needs to get out of the echo chambers of #Apathiistas ; The mainstreet person might use AI as offered but isnt among niche early adopters. They are device adopters (smart phone, Amazon Echo).. I'd more guide the convo to say people dont like pitchmakers who say AI as quickly as " its the fundamentals" to fill in gaps they really dont have mainstreet words for to explain "profiteering> civil utility worth"
