But are we getting paid as much as men to ruin things? NO! A woman has to ruin something 3 5 times harder than your average mediocre dude does to get paid only 75% as much! Keep fighting, my sisters.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned John C Wright's The Golden Age series, since the central theme of it is about the idea of identity in a society of originals, fragments, and sub-process consciousness: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gol...

The first book was published in 2002.

I put in an order, and I really hope it goes as well as possible for you and that you recover easily and without stress. 🤗

YES!!

LOL, you are definitely not the kind of leader I'm talking about here!

I'm trying to understand how otherwise intelligent people can make such poor leadership decisions.

...and is it just a few, or is it the majority of folks?

Back in 2014-2018, it was IBM, Palantir et al bullshit hype but there was a way from hype excitement to strategy to outcomes.

Do you have specific examples you can share? DMs welcome!

I'm really trying to understand the dynamics that are leading to otherwise intelligent people losing the thread of good leadership.

Ahh yes, that lack of role clarity and expectations has been a huge problem.

I do wonder if it’s getting better, as the AI energy sucks up a lot of the magical thinking.

I appreciate the comment. I have a good sense of the 2014-2018 ML moment (I built a whole business in the sales wake of IBM’s Watson bullshit!) and I’m trying to figure out why it’s so especially difficult right now. I see the through line.
