The AGI's not here and it's kind of silly for folks I think to sort of suggest it is. When it comes to big
00:00:05
companies, I think the big thing about let's call it the autonomous enterprise
00:00:09
is change management. Is the big boy. And in change management actually is about all the people that already work
00:00:16
there, the middle managers, the technocrats, the bureaucrats. The change management going there is it's a human
00:00:21
thing and it's very tricky with very complex processes, many of which are not
00:00:26
even documented. And in theory it's just all going to happen real fast, but in
00:00:30
practice like that's hard. So that that's part one. Part two what I'm
00:00:34
seeing with true tech companies, they're fired up about the development, the
00:00:38
productivity, and deployment schedule and like the new features they're able
00:00:44
to roll out much much much faster because they've pivoted their culture sort of very pro AI development. Now,
00:00:51
there are folks pushing, you know, selling their book that are like, "Oh, we're at AGI and all this." Anybody
00:00:57
who's worked with these agents and done the AI dev stuff, yeah, there's a lot of
00:01:03
good stuff, but they're not they're not that smart yet. They're just not that smart.
