Awesome interview with @meredithmeredith.bsky.social and @michaelmoynihan.bsky.social: AI is NOT replacing your job, it's "degrading" it
They covered really important topics:
* #AI and labour displacement/power shift
* Plenty revenue, but not seeing profits yet
* Security and privacy & crypto wars

- Non-AI bottlenecks still dominate
- AI is an accelerator, not a universal fix
Also a good reminder about this: "Automation amplifies efficiencies, but it also does the same for inefficiencies!"

DX's latest study into AI-assisted coding says the same as DORA's recent report - AI won’t save you from your (broken) engineering culture.
But it goes further: the biggest gains come from better ways of working, not AI.

According to @theregister.com, Microsoft's latest SEC filing suggests OpenAI lost $11.5bn in Q3 2025
OpenAI reportedly did ~$4.3bn revenue in H1 2025, so perhaps $2-2.5bn/quarter. Would mean they're spending roughly 5-6x their revenue.
