A magic button shows up at work, you are the boss, you press it and magic, twice as much gets done on the day.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;h2 id="ai-as-an-amplifier"&gt;AI as an amplifier&lt;/h2&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;This is the promise of AI: do more, do it faster, like magic. I read books, papers, blog posts about how you can just do speed up. They all seem to come from some wonderland in which stability is not a problem, there is no tech debt, and none gets introduced at double the speed. There are also no system problems. It makes me wonder where those amazing organisations exist.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
