@Netzblockierer@tech.lgbt @briankrebs@infosec.exchange licensed professionals are paid for their legal accountability as much as for their work product. Signing your name to a bridge's ECO or an indictment affects lives and puts your career and freedom on the line. AI companies will not be accountable.

@Daojoan@mastodon.social seems less measurable than "the only people who should run companies that make money are people who deeply give a fuck about money. Only people who love money and love making money should run companies that make money." I keep thinking of the corruption of idealistic young Andreesen to Oligarch Andreesen.

@Daojoan Read that SaaS billing (including AI platforms) is shifting from seats (where work scales with headcount) with tokens (AI effort) to valued outcomes (tickets completed, X-rays analyzed) where crisp deliverables are worth money. Aligns nicely with outcomes-over-process culture and fewer performative collaboration rituals.

All the "how to AI your business analysis and product development work" posts echo "Is Ralph Wiggum the Future of Coding?" Work worth doing, if it's repeatable and can be eval'd? It will be agentic. If it's novel or hard to write an eval for? That's expert work for some definition of expert.
