I just saw a LinkedIn post that talked about getting a job at “an AI company.“
And I flashed back to the 1980s.
Back when the military branches were trying to make things cool to impressionable 17 year olds, one commercial said that people in the military used “digital readouts.”
Kid, the military isn’t about digital readouts. When Secretary Hesgeth renamed the Department of Defense, he didn’t rename it to the Department of Digital Readouts.
In the same way, that “AI company” was a “blockchain company” a few years ago, a “cloud company” before that, and a “multi-tier architecture company” before that.
Don’t confuse tools with purpose.
Don’t confuse features—heck, not even features, but just tools to create features—with benefits.
