Risk‑averse IT Bans AI, Future Costs Loom
At at a conference, I asked a person working at an enterprise company if he's built any agents yet. Still waiting for my Claude invite, he said. One of the parents in my kids class is a software engineer at Samsung He told me no AI is allowed, not for software development nor general purpose. When IT owns AI and defaults to risk minimization, I bet there's a price to pay over the next years.

Synthetic Surveys Amplify Bias; They’re Unprovable Fakes

AI Eliminates Junior Marketers, Turns Teams Into Generalists
The junior marketer role is dead. We surveyed 100 B2B SaaS marketing directors on how AI is changing their teams. 13 said they've stopped backfilling junior roles entirely. When people leave, the work gets absorbed. AI picks up the slack. But that's not...
AI Coding Agent Lets Me Deploy Fixes Solo
Another small AI win: I'm now able to ship stuff to our production app by myself. Previously had to go through engineers, shit had to be prioritized, and small stuff never was. Now I tell the coding agent what small feature/change...

Ok so ChatGPT is 3% of search. But this is counting people looking for funny cats and what not. All the muggles. In a B2B setting - e.g. VPs doing vendor or category research - the numbers are very different.
Finance Leaders Evaluate only Three Vendors Before Demos
The magic number is 3. We asked 100 CFOs and VPs of Finance how many vendors they closely evaluate when buying software. 50% said exactly 3. Median: 3. Mean: 4.1. 53% evaluate 3 or fewer. This is a brutally small window. Think about what this...
