These AI companies changed the definition of AGI, to mean can do all white collar work.

this fine, but don't forget to hire the laid of sales and marketing folks. without them, this is going no where.

if you remove product managers, other folks in the company will need to do the jobs product managers would do. everyone doing a subset of that work.

I thought TPMs were useless, but on a large project, you need somebody nagging everyone and sending updates to senior leadership..

A director will ignore the message sent by an AI bot, but will definitely not ignore a message to sent to them by a TPM with management in email.

this is a terrible article, fire that writer

the media landscape has changed. youtube, tiktok, reels are the dominant media. the money the creators make there dwarfs this 200k loss of jobs.

The issue is, its global, creators aren't limited to desk jobs in america.

you know they paid some 70 billion for activision blizzard?

This is good, punish the shareholders, wallstreet gets the news.

This wealth tax is poorly planned, tax the wealth, but find a better way.

SaaS that's critical for the business is not going to be disrupted.

Once a business grows where tool failure is not a option, they will buy salesforce or similar professional clones.

Now will salesforce be disrupted by a newer CRM called AIForce? Now your paying AIForce instead of paying Benioff.

I won't be hosting my own notes solution.

I thought about hosting my own photos. The time is just not there, cheaper to pay Google.

Until AGI or Super Intelligence saas is not dead.

Once AGI and Super Intelligence here, everything is dead.

It amazes me how even smart, capable, well paid IT people give away their most private data "because it's cheaper".

They can see the hidden cost of data loss risk.

It's also cheaper in terms of time.

Not everyone sees things the same!

But having your own data kept private is priceless.

> Not everyone sees things the same!

False. People just see things wrongly. Self-hosting is the best option here.

That doesn't disprove the initial claim at all. You don't even address it. Even if they saw it wrongly, that still doesn't mean they see things the same.

My small data point:

A few days ago I wanted my obsidian notes on a linux machine. Well, the files are synced via iCloud Drive (no Linux), so I asked it to solve it across my devices. It used Syncthing which has been working great.

Then yesterday obsidian desktop stopped loading (probably a bug in a plugin?). I’ve always wanted to do my notes in the browser, so it forked https://files.md and set it up on my home server pointed at my sync folder.

I was of the mindset that I’d not want to self host my day to day tooling, happy to pay, but it seems having the ability to run open source tools where I can say “just fix it” is too convenient to ignore.

> I won't be hosting my own notes solution.

Why not? Notes are incredibly private data. One of the top priority items to NOT host in a cloud.

Trilium is incredible.

Consider it.

Also AGI does not exist and never will.

where do you get the data from?

the moat is getting wider, it proves vibe coded apps can't replace your business.

only a serious business can replace. figma, canva and other tools. but these are new tools in the same industry.
