> Most people don’t like computers. Nobody in tech wants to say that out loud. People tolerate computers. They use them because they have to. Given the choice, most would rather not think about them at all.

Which makes me think there's a lot more room for "virtual people." Imagine a very smart AI bot that could hold multiple conversations at once and remember a lot of things.

> So when someone suggests that AI means everyone will build their own custom tools, ask who "everyone" is. The three-person accounting firm drowning in client paperwork? They want the paperwork gone, not a new system to maintain. The regional logistics company with 40 trucks? They want the routes optimized, not Joe spouting off about this new system he’s been messing around with. The law firm billing 70-hour weeks? They want leverage on their time, not a software project to design.

What if there was a bot that was just smart enough to figure those things out, without needing traditional "software"?

To me, that's more what AI is, instead of adding chatbots to everything, and vibecoding everything.

that's a good way to frame it, but it boils down to: what is it that these entities or individuals do that is valuable and how do you replicate parts or the whole of it.

which is essentially the direction that were heading in: we're sequentially and iteratively building improvements.

what the logistics company did pre computers and even pre trucks was not all that different in many aspects.

the future will be via evolution not revolution.
