Enterprise software companies had a short-lived run where they competed on usability and product-led growth which seems to be over. Now every SaaS app seems to be converging on the same UX monstrosity, complete with AI features of dubious value.

A picture of Elon Musk, via the London Economic. The quote says “If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most of the other monkeys starved, scientists would study that monkey to figure out what the heck was wrong with it. When humans do it, we put them on the cover of Forbes.“ – Nathalie Robin Justice.

Given the recent headlines, I’m surprised this hasn’t happened until now. Florida’s Attorney General has asked for a temporary injunction against OpenAI and ChatGPT, claiming the company doesn't have the ability to properly regulate its own technology.

I don’t believe companies expect software development to durably exist as a profession in a decade or two. So this question is like asking who will be the senior milkmen and telephone switchboard operators?

California passed a law regulating the use of AI to fire or discipline employees. Companies can use AI to recommend firing someone, but a human has to review the evidence and remains responsible for the decision. AI can automate the work, but a computer cannot be accountable.

I was thinking to myself earlier this week that it's better for the economy and the world to have 1,000 people who can afford a Rolls Royce than one person who can afford 1,000 Rolls Royces. It's weird to see a similar message in a political ad as if I manifested it. I agree with this 100%.
