How much longer until cloud CEOs are a thing of the past? Wouldn't an AI sufficiently intelligent to solve technical problems at scale also be able to run a large corporate division? By the time this is actually viable, we are all fucked.

Lol, as a programmer who uses generative AI myself, I would genuinely love to see them try.
Don't worry guys. As long as project managers think "do the thing ... like the thing ... (waves hands around) ... you know ... (waves hands around some more) ... like the other thing ... but, um, ..., different" constitutes a detailed spec, we're safe.
I wish.
Honestly I feel even an AI could write better code than what some big tech software uses lol
The paramount+ app doesn't even know how to properly hide the pause icon after you hit resume ffs. It's been months.

Pffffft.
The thing that I see most is that AI is dumb and can’t do it yet so we don’t need to worry about this.
To me, it’s not about whether it can or not. If the people in charge think it can, they’ll stop hiring. There is a lot of waste in some big companies so they might not realize it’s not working right away.
Source: I work for a big company that doesn’t do things efficiently.
That big company will go through a crisis realize it's mistake and start quickly hiring again or it will fail and disappear
