I loved the conversation on Heathrow! The analogy of how digital transformation is like an airport was perfect. I’m going to start using that one!
Thanks guys for this conversation so appreciated this topic ❤
Like the slow mo strategy, "take a 8 year walk", when you get back your kind of business was replaced by AI agents during year 1-2. :hand-purple-blue-peace:
On MINING: story from a podcast two months ago. A goldmine company owner offers a $1 million prize for experts to review their historical geological data and come up with ways to increase their yields. Instead of experts a startup wins the prize who uses AI to analyse the data. The mining company implements the findings and goes from a $40 million valuation to $2 billion…
Comparing AI to the development of the internet is ridiculous. The internet does not think for itself. The internet was a way to assist in job creation but AI will do the opposite.
Probably the least educated take i've seen, to the point where I couldn't be bothered to watch. Skeptical of lazy thinking, yet he didn't put the effort to see what was already done, and where it is headed. Over 10 MILLION years of biological research was done last year. That is how much AI advanced the field. UNEDUCATED AF TAKE.
The old guitar in the shot to make sure you know I'm cool.
From COBOL to Java, it’s been over 15 years—and the journey still isn’t over, especially now with AI entering the picture. COBOL code is notoriously tough to deal with: it’s messy, outdated, and a real challenge to maintain. The real question is, how can AI help modernize these legacy systems—particularly in banking—without causing major disruptions or putting critical operations at risk?
I would make a similar comment as some others here,. that I think some of the effects on certain industries might be harder to see ,. but doesn't mean it's not happening. For example the statement about how AI isn't changing the Mining industry. Well, No, AI may not (itself) be helping pull rock out of the ground,. but AI software or improved sidescan radar etc might be improved to find better locations were more minerals are. Another comment about "7 versions of iOS released in a year but you notice nothing really changes",. as someone who works in IT, I follow that quite closely and each version of IOS that comes out at least has some security fixes in it. There could be a lot of AI or "improved code" underneath the hood doing things to make the device run faster or be more stable or less bugs etc. You may not notice it overtly , but it could still be helping you. Someone below in the comments mentioned being an eye surgeon,.. AI could improve the diagnostic machines to detect eye abnormalities earlier,.. etc. I think your observations about "most companies are not implementing it properly" are correct,.. as for each company or each career-field, the way you implement AI to best advantages might be unique to that field.
This guy doesn't understand AI at all.
This is a clickbait title - neither of these people know much about AI beyond the currently available tools.
So AI integration is just a normal process that will play out like every other technological innovation? Seems like a bad take.
I feel like the guest was focused on whether ai will transform how stuff is done. so, even if we hit a singularity, it'll take time till physical industries are changed. a bit like the old "the future is here but not evenly distributed" idea. however, I think the major thing he ignores is that it'll be ai instead of people. this means two important things. firstly, economic upheaval. secondly, massive growth potential. that is, even if new breathtaking scientific insights stopped advancing altogether (e.g. no more nobel worthy insights), if we somehow doubled the number of scientists and engineers, we'd be able to accomplish massive social changes. Same thing with a physical workforce. AI and robotics positions us to do that. so that alone would see major changes, even if it's basically 'more of the same'. Put another way: The next airports may turn out to be just as chaotic as jfk or heathrow - but we'll be building more airports. Personally, I also think those airports will be built both better and faster, even if it's still essentially just an airport and not some sci-fi Stargate or whatever. tl;dr: doubling, tripling, quadrupling.... the physical and knowledge workforce alone will transform society quickly, let alone the other efficiencies it may achieve.
Pay attention..you guys are lost
This was filmed on April 9th? If I had known this was almost two months old I would not have clicked on it. You need to get more efficient about how you edit these so you can get them out before they are old news. Maybe you need more AI.
You fail to understand how conventional dealerships work. When we are walked through the process, we are more likely to make a purchase. If you have a screen offering, you are more likely to just browse. How many individuals do you think walk into a dealership not planning to purchase but do so? The problem isn't the process; the problem is the staff. In any business, those working with the public should be trained and geared more toward empathetic abilities. Any model without the sales process is leaving sales on the table, and any pushy dealership is losing sales. The focus is psychology, not technology. This is the reason Kmart failed, and businesses like NFM thrive.
Let's #Vibecode 🎉
I can think of several technologies that are spoken about by name in everyday conversation. Internet, bluetooth, social media (X, Facebook, etc.), cars, Tylenol...on and on... The electric motor analogy is terrible. AI will be spoken of by name until the end of humanity.
I can't believe that people still believe that AI is hype. All you have to do is use it. Heck don't even use it. Just read the news. Every couple of weeks we read about some other big tech company that's laying off thousands of employees, or some marketing firm that's kicking its employees to the curb in favor of AI. While I think those CEO's are short sighted and it will bite them in the long run, they're doing it because AI can perform as well as low-mid skill workers right now in many white collar jobs. Just last year AI was a joke at coding, now it writes more of my code than I do. AI is improving exponentially, it will be crazy to see where it is this time next year. Hopefully I'm still employed at that time.
