As we roll out more generative AI and agents, it should change the way our work is done

we expect that this will reduce our total corporate workforce

Are we done for?

    Ah yes those famous “Agents”. They will of course write themselves, adapt themselves to changing environment and run on their own without any supervision.

      Yes. Exactly. They’ll also deploy upgrades to themselves painlessly. Thankfully that’s never been a huge ongoing pain felt by everyone paying attention.

      (I couldn’t resisit adding a “yes, and” to your point.

      Edit: And the AI agents will back themselves up correctly, too! We trained them on the activities of all currently living IT engineers, and the average of our work always results in a successful backup…

      If that wasn’t true, we would be having a new ransomware crisis every month…

      I’m sure glad we live in one of the good timelines, and have plenty of clean correct code and configuration data to train our AI on!

      (This is, of course, sarcasm. Companies that shift to AI IT agents today can expect to very quickly reach today’s median IT outcome. There’s not enough popcorn in the world for what is coming.)

      And if all that were to happen. You just caused eventual iron man uprising due to lack of supervision on code updates.
