"bend the productivity curve" is such a beautiful way to say that they are running out of ideas on how to sell that damn thing.

It basically went from :

  • it's going to change EVERYTHING! Humanity as we know it is a thing of the past!

... to "bend the productivity curve". It's not how it "radically increase productivity" no it's a lot more subtle than that, to the point that it can actually bend that curve down. What a shit show.

I recently had an hook to get some investment for a startup. Money is flowing in this sector. The investor told me: find me any idea that might sell, be useful.

I went to speak with 3 associations of entrepreneurs in 3 different countries. Like guys, we have the money, give me some ideas, all services will be free for.you. All these entrepreneurs did not know where to fit AI if not for some support chat.
