'Building AI co-workers going to be largest opportunity of tech in our lifetime'

Re: Mostly correct

I don't think that is a valid argument, given that the current corp of AI tools are just that, tools. Your argument also applies to people using a spellchecker.

Re: I neither trust the cloud nor AI.

Large enterprise 'non-software' companies try that all the time, and it's practically always disastrous over the long-term. Trying to get anywhere near the feature set and stability of decent software is incredibly expensive, and you have to run the team(s) for a very long time, the TCO is massively more expensive before you account for all the operational issues you will have. And in reality, you're not going to do this for everything, so the business will still have masses of commercial software to operate.

Re: Windoze security as service

I'm sure all of us would be happy to migrate to Linux, once we get over the major hurdles of there not being the software, skills or support to run it for everything in the world.

Once that lifetime's endeavor is complete, we'll need to move to some other OS, because the baddies will simply follow where the users are.

If we magically switch Windows for Linux, we'd barely improve the security landscape.

Re: Costs and being competitive

You are right, those companies that insist on staff being in the office will begin to suffer. They will have higher fixed costs due to the need to run larger / more offices, and they will find that the best talent starts to move to more flexible employers.

It is likely that the more forward-thinking companies (and frankly, offering flexible working is hardly ground-breaking), will also have stronger principles across the organisation. To be successful with a remote-first mindset, you need to embrace autonomy and giving your people a sense of purpose.

Exciting times for us to see how the latest crop of dinosaurs get on with this shift.
