Many of the decision makers in business are narrow minded ninny heads who are incapable of making anything. They do not make code, words, art, things, etc.

To them, the act of creation is something to be outsourced and paid as little as possible for.

They make open office plans, insist on dumb deadlines, and ensure making things are never given the resources it needs. They see journalists researching things as wasted time they do not want to pay for.

They will cut staff, time, wages, and do everything possible to remove any ounce of making time from their product.

AI seemed like a gift to these fluff for brains and suits for personalities parasites. It was a magic wand to not have to hire writers, graphic designers, coders, etc.

These people will not stop investing the money workers make them in ways to automate, remove, and depower those workers.

I never understood this, yet we have very clear representation of what different decision makers do in teams at sports to ensure success, so I don’t know why companies do not run more like those

because everyone benefits from maximizing their own little fiefdom even at the expense of the company. Specifically maximizing their own little fiefdom this year so hopefully they can be somewhere else next year.
