Is it possible that the line of thinking really is that "agentic AI" will up for the capability shortfall?
It seems to be the stated expectation, but I find it incredulous that management really would believe that?
Do you really think management would come out and say "Hey we actually fucked up and don't really know what to do. Please don't punish us, here is a ritual sacrifice instead."?
Of course they're going to downplay their own stupidity and use LLMs as a means to suppress terrible news.

All of us who work with AI, and HN audience especially, know the gap between what can the agent do now, and "it fulfill the functions of my job" is something that won't be overcome anytime soon. Anyone who really believes that's the case is just showcasing their lack of knowledge
Matthew Price calls it "an electric screwdriver". Does that sound like someone who has ever gotten deep on anything?

So Sorry, And I literally just moved all my stuff to cloudflare 2 weeks ago… if it means anything it was a great product.
They quietly stopped hiring months ago and I figured things were not good. My mistake was thinking my group would be a little safer being profit drivers and big deals...
