ICYMI - Your Boss Might Be Drunk on AI

Something happens to a manager who spends all day getting agreed with. Greg Fish, a computer scientist behind Cyberpunk Survival Guide, lays out why the people running the meeting are more likely than anyone underneath them to fall into what he calls AI psychosis, and why it has nothing to do with curiosity and everything to do with pressure from above. The mechanics are almost too simple. An idea gets validated instead of challenged, a two-year project gets simulated in days, and thirty thousand lines of generated code get handed off to a team with no realistic way to check it all. When it breaks, there is a built-in excuse sitting right there: blame the machine, take the mulligan, look like a leader who was just trying something new. Anyone who has sat in a meeting that somehow always circles back to a chatbot will recognize exactly what is being described here.
